Good fill. Reflection off some white rock or a slight pop of the flash?

       John Palcewski - Cake Eater
[Chris] This is an example of an essential aspect of human life caught on
camera.
       Pini Vollach - Dancing
[Chris] Yes, Dancing is a charming human activity. It is probably
instinctive and part of the mating process as do birds.
       Marilyn Dalrymple - Summer Reading
[Chris] I read the history of the commune with interest. I do not know why
it is considered un-American as the first leader of the republic who lead
the revolt against the British was left wing and wanted an idealistic state
but the English came back and made sure the new American republic did not go
that way. In Europe all the socialist communes went the same way and it
looks like socialism is not a successful way of life. It is in reality an
instinctive adaptation to difficult conditions after all I believe the first
American colonists from Europe were left wing and wanted an ideal community.

 
       Christopher Strevens - Picnic
       Belinda Peters - Texas, April 2009
[Chris] This picture has an inverted V shaped shadow in the foreground as if
there was a big building behind the photographer casting a shadow. It looks
like an orchard with a perimeter fence and has shown me something about
America that I did not know.
       Mark Harris - Lyndsey
[Chris] This shows a rather bored young woman expressing her disdain of
being photographed. She obviously only did it for the money. Did the
photographers do it for money also?
       Peeter Vissak - September in the Rain
[Chris] Peeter does like this sort of image, he must spend a long time
indoors looking through his window!
       Dan Mitchell - Separates
[Chris] The two men are in no way in contact with each other. It must be
lunch time outside a public building, possibly a library.

[Chris] Thank you very much for these images, it is always wonderful to view
the world through another person's mind.

[Marilyn Dalrymple]

Thank you for your interesting comment, Chris.  I appreciate it very much.

Hi all,

As the rain, hopefully, comes to an end here in New Jersey and we get back
to October temperatures, I'll give my thoughts on this week's gallery.

A terrific capture! I love the look on his face. The photograph is also very
good technically.

>       Pini Vollach - Dancing

This is a very nice image. With all the action you still managed to get the
composition right. I like that the two men at the table are framed by the
foreground dancers.

>       Marilyn Dalrymple - Summer Reading

This is a very nice casual portrait. The book made a very nice reflector
providing just the right fill on her backlit face.

>       Christopher Strevens - Picnic

It almost looks like a cloud hanging over the picnicers. You have a unique
viewpoint here which is interesting. It's odd but I like it.

>       Belinda Peters - Texas, April 2009

I think we need to know a little more about why you made this particular
image. The arrows on the street are not enough in themselves to give us a
clue.

>       Mark Harris - Lyndsey

I'll leave comments on this to others:-) It was a crappy weather day and we
were lucky to get a couple of times when we could get onto the roof. I have
described the overcast as the worlds largest softbox.

>       Peeter Vissak - September in the Rain

One of those times when having a camera handy helps. An interesting grab but
not much else.

>       Dan Mitchell - Separates

I like the line up the middle and the cones and tape that are containing the
two men. It does show how we have become dependent on our technology. I like
this photograph.

The photographer did not do it for money Chris:-) She did get paid but in
all of the
photographs of Lyndsey she has this, or a very similar, expression. I did
not feel she was bored although she was a bit disconnected at times, not
here though.
