I am nothing more than a critic. I gotta say, nice work guys. I also gotta give L an Honorable Mention. L, your compositions are really coming together nicely and I must say that you're developing a good eye along with a strong technique. You've improved remarkably since you posted those first photos gee...what was that...2 years ago? 3? Nice work L.
I also like the Devin's diving photo as well as the dog hanging its head out the window. Actually Devin, those are all nice pieces. The two stage photos seem a bit too washed out to me but that's probably because they don't quite fit in with the some of the others that have a stronger emphasis on contrast and shadow. I know they'd work in a different setting/venue. The little girl picture makes me smile and the dog...well, he/shr makes me feel good.
I'm of the opinion, probably because I'm travelling as of tomorrow, that photos, in an artistic context, should evoke emotion(s) as opposed to depicting a subject as in person, place, or thing. As with any artistic endeavor, eliciting a compulsory response is what makes the artist, at least intrinsically, successful.
George, who is that? She's lovely. I love the comparison series.
LOL @myself. I just realized that the dog is part of Pookeybear's sig. LOL.
If i missed anyone it's simply because i am pressed for time.
