Hi all,

Here are my reactions to this week's gallery.

The composition is very good. I like the texture and pattern of tones in the
adobe.

>   John Palcewski - Maria

A beautiful portrait of Maria. I like the way the natural light falls on her
but feel there is a bit too much fill. In B&W I happen to like portraits
like this to have more contrast and deeper blacks. I do like the hair
falling over her eye, a nice touch.

>   Laurenz Bobke - In the hands of a Giant

A very nice image. The dark background contrasts well with the bird and hand
in the light. The diagonal of the arm draws my eye in as well.

>   Roger Eichhorn -

Simple but effective. The composition works even though the pigeon is
centered. A nice balance of the bright sky and dark building.

>   Don Roberts - Toad Lilies

The photographed looks enhanced but it still works on that level. It might
have been interesting if you had rotated the camers so the twig comes out
closer to the corner.

>   Emily L. Ferguson - Down the Hatch

A very well made action shot. Sailboat racing is very interesting in general
but the details, as you captured here, are things most people don't see.
This must have been a tough exposure situation which you handled well.

>   Michael Hughes - 10.3.2009 12.45 Lunch with the De Veres at Dunston Hall

A nice archetectural image of Dunston Hall but it doesn't say lunch to me.
You did a nice job keeping the building square.

>   Mark Lent - Moment of Joy

A very well captured image of a moment of action. The D200 certainly holds
reds well.

[Chris] I suppose Adobe is a fort. I did not know this. Is it special in
some away?
   John Palcewski - Maria
[Chris] The normal face of an untroubled young lady: may her life be long
and productive.
   Laurenz Bobke - In the hands of a Giant
[Chris] The bird does look frightened and probably expected to die.
   Roger Eichhorn -
[Chris] The pigeon looks like a gargoyle carving on the edge of the
building.
   Don Roberts - Toad Lilies
[Chris] It looks a good photo but I do not like flowers.
   Emily L. Ferguson - Down the Hatch
[Chris] The title seems inappropriate as nothing in "down the hatch" at that
time. The figures in the image look like ballerinas wearing flared clothing!
   Michael Hughes - 10.3.2009 12.45 Lunch with the De Veres at Dunston
Hall
[Chris] You must have had a good time! Who is De Veres and what brought you
there?
   Mark Lent - Moment of Joy
[Chris] Men are strange! It is only football!

[Chris] Chris.

lovely textures, graceful composition, I find this image very
pleasing and can imagine living with it comfortably for a long time

>   John Palcewski - Maria

There's an "I can't actually be bothered with you" look in her eyes,
a completely diffidence, not a glimmer of friendliness or anger
either.  It inclines me to move on to the next.

>   Laurenz Bobke - In the hands of a Giant

Interesting how there's not really any sense of panic in this,
despite the clamp (albeit warm and probably gentle) in which the bird
is held.  Sure, the bright spot would do better darkened, of course
you can't completely wipe it out because of the other spot behind it,
and it could be cropped off entirely, but the open beak and blown-out
highlights on the top of the hand really keep my eyes from seeing it
much.  I think it would be somewhat improved by not getting the skin
blown out to begin with.  Better to underexpose and correct than
overexpose and be unable to.

>
>   Roger Eichhorn -

Pigeons and seagulls are rats of the sky in my vocabulary, but I
don't hold that against this one.  It's just that there's nothing
bird-ish really happening in this image.  So, OK.  Got anything more
interesting?

>   Don Roberts - Toad Lilies

The arrow composition is good enough as it goes, I can't tell for
sure about the sharpness - there's a look of a photoshop artsy filter
about the image, accentuated by the speckled flowers.  I think I
would have preferred fewer items in the image area.

>   Michael Hughes - 10.3.2009 12.45 Lunch with the De Veres at Dunston Hall

No lunch, no De Veres, just dunston Hall and funny mushyness on the
top two stories.  Lots of flues, however.

>   Mark Lent - Moment of Joy

Tack sharp, but why are guys so wierd, and why do they invest so much
energy in winning and games?  I don't see any joy in particular, just
a guy up in the air who could just have easily have been being
tackled as being lifted up in joy.

Celebration is possibly one big place where men and women experience
a deep rift in style.

Do what Andy says, now, if you haven't already.

Correct!  A friend describes them as "rats with feathers."  However,  
this pigeon is native, not one of the ubiquitous imports.  Sorry you  
didn't find it interesting.  They come so rarely that I haven't caught  
one in flight when their band tail would be evident.

An earlier post suggested sharpening the head and doing some  
cropping.  I thought of that, but didn't bother for this display.

Thanks Chris for your comment.  As you surmise my wife and I had an enjoyable time with our friends to mark the start of a week of little celebrations of our Golden Wedding (50th anniversary) We married very young, of course.
 
The House, since that it was once, was partly built in Elizabethan times, hence the decorative chimneys, but the extensions to each side of the building date from Victorian times.
  Our hosts were not actually the De Vere's since De Vere is the name of the company that operates Dunston Hall as an hotel and golf centre.
 
We ended the week, hosted by some of our extensive family (6 children and 11 grandchildren) at a restaurant called 'The mad Moose' in the heart of Norwich.
 
Michael

I'm a bit late but I agree completely with the statement above.
Beautiful image, Lea.
