WTH
missed loads of yours, sorry about that!
Kind #1, hmmm, may have to revisit as I'm not sure of RH connection. I suspect it's obvious. Well composed and processed, just looks a tad dark, maybe how it's supposed to be.
Kind #2, yeah very nice. Well composed but as you say, they could be standing on the floor.
Kind #3, much better. Again, well composed with one of you
appearing to be winning. Lovely colours and shadows.
Ray Harryhausen tribute, as with so many people working behind the scenes in the film industry I'd not heard the name, but obviously had heard of his films and one of my favourite was Jason and the Argonauts! Cracking photograph produced with great respect.
Vertical, of the 2, it's #1 for me. I order th composition, lighting and look on her face. Great vertical shadow. Crit, never easy with yours, but just the uneven shadow on th LH side,maybe it adds depth
Vertical #3, I was going to produce a shadow take but didn't see any decent ones. I had to look but I found the horizontal shadows. Quite an interesting take.
Vertical #4, this might be my favourite. Nice and minimal, liking the processing - b&w would be the obvious choice and I'm glad you resist. I do like the shadows lower left which are slightly blown upper left.
Pattern #1, blooming heck, cracker. Just works well with the bG and detail and colours.
Pattern #2, I might have chosen, nah, you got the right one. Plenty of drama and detail.
Movement, well composed and the owl contrasts well against the clouds. Is there a name for the colouring effect, thought about cross processing or split toning but appear to be neither. Hope your wife recovers soon.
Good show.
Cheers.
