"I
would ask you to pass on the following comments . . .
Trees
in Parking Lot by Brad Rankin:
"These three work nicely as a grouping. Number 3 is outstanding in its
cropping, color and mood.
Sunnyvale
Heritage Orchard by Andy Frazer:
"Really like the way city is encroaching or intruding on the countryside
here. Excellent concept.
Pulaski
Tree by David Strohl:
" Brilliant lighting and color. Love the way you have framed the subject.
SF/Joshua
Tree,
Smith at the Beach,
and The Zion Villages by Manu Schnetzler:
"I liked the unifying use of color in the city/desert image and the double
exposures of city and country. The combination of the tree and water tower shapes
works especially well. More highlight detail in the water tower is desirable.
Sheep,
Sun Flower, Runaway #1, and Church by Craig Reynolds:
"Lonely and mysterious suburban scenery. I feel an uncomfortably cold emptiness
in these images . . .
Trailer,
Parked (green) by Joe Reifer:
"Great subject matter. This image could have been a stronger contender
if the trailer was framed without background distractions and off the center.
Getting much closer with a wide angle lens could have created a more dynamic
composition.
"Silverton
by Al Olson &
Auroral Blanket over Skagway by Michael Klensch:
"Just gorgeous color and scenery, but sadly we have all seen this type
of image before.
The
Other Side by Adam Kuehl:
"I loved how the horse snuck up on me, and how the fence is a metaphorical
border between city and country. Really well done."
