 The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated OCT 03, 2009. Authors
with work now on display at: http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery.html include:

 Lea Murphy - Adobe.

 John Palcewski - Maria.  While not technically perfect ( washed out with what appears to be some pretty chunky grain or noise) I do like this image. It makes me want to meet this woman, perhaps for a glass of wine so she can tell me what in the world she's thinking. She seems to have a lot going on in her head. I like that. I like this image because it makes me wonder. And the square crop is nice.

 Laurenz Bobke - In the hands of a Giant.  Interesting. It doesn't really tell a story except to express the fear of the bird. The light is nice. I would like to see that hot spot in the upper right burned down so that the focus is all on the little creature and the hand holding it.

 Roger Eichhorn -  This reminds me of those wooden figures on ships looking out and guiding the way. A tighter crop from the left might be nice to throw it a tad more abstract. And a dose of sharpening on the bird head would be good, too.

 Don Roberts - Toad Lilies.  I like this image and the composition a lot. The two little out of focus buds in the background are a bother. They could easily be burned down or even be cloned out to focus attention on the main flowers. I think that would strengthen it.

 Emily L. Ferguson - Down the Hatch.  Not being familiar with boating, this image confuses me. I have no clue what's going on, what the apparent urgency is about and if that white fabric is coming onto the boat or getting thrown off it. Perhaps it's a mast? The leg/bum on the far left could easily be cropped out without loosing much.

 Michael Hughes - 10.3.2009 12.45 Lunch with the De Veres at Dunston Hall.  I would like to be invited to lunch here. Nice job on your verticals. I played with this image a little bit and found I liked it better with the cars on the far, far left cropped out. The black car facing the viewer (an Audi?) is nice and strong, adds weight and a bit of pomp and circumstance but the others busy things up.

 
 Mark Lent - Moment of Joy.  Niiiiiiiiiiice.

babies. they're what i do.

Hi, Lea,

Masts are the rigid parts that stick up in the air on boats, sails
are the cloth things that hang from the mast(s).  In this case the
people are pushing the sail down the hatch, gathering it up as it
drops from up in the air.
