I finally got to sit down and go through the September PUG. Another
fascinating collection as usual! There wasn't one image that I didn't
spend at least a few moments on, others considerably more. Once again,
all were lovely pictures, but here's a list of the ones that caught my
eye for various reasons as gleaned from my scribbled notes:
Near Lake Tammian
William Robb
Beautiful pattern with lovely, subtle colour changes. Superb.
Bison at Yellowstone
Annsan
Very atmospheric - a really nice composition. Looks cold!
A Rock's Point of View
Erin Dayton
Very nice shot. Needs a tweak in Photoshop to adjust levels and get the
colours jumping, but I love the composition.
Puffins
David Dixon
I admire anyone with the patience to shoot birds (so to speak). Nice.
Goalkeeper
Alexey Tikhonov
A nice gritty image. I like the way everything seems to be soft except
for the goalie. One wonders whether or not he's going to be able to stop
the ball which - an instant later - is surely coming his way! Excellent.
Summer Storm
Gianfranco Irlanda
Once again Gianfranco conjures up a very striking image. A grabbed shot
if ever there was one. Conveys a great sense of activity, not least of
which from the photographer. I love it.
Details
Karoly Kovacs
I'm always partial to a bit of anatomy! An excellent study of the
contrast between a sensuous curve of flesh and the draped thorniness of
some embroidered fabric that looks almost reptilian. Great work!
Riga - After a Thunderstorm
Edward Freis
A stunning image. One could wait years for a shot like this. It takes my
breath away, so what Edward felt seeing this in person must have been
exhilarating. Pic of the month for me. Congrats!
Strolling With the 77
Cesar Matamoros II
A nice treatment of a fairly cliched subject: powerlines. A gripping
picture with beautiful colour.
The Roof
Matjaz Osojnik
Good abstract. Makes my eyes swirl, so it must be working! Fine example.
Wythville, VA, 2001
Tom Van Veen
A simple image but conveys great feeling.
The Finish Line
Lasse Karlsson
Fine rendition of a popular competition. Not my taste in cropping but the
mono / colour treatment is a real winner. Lasse come home!
That's all for this month - again, they were all really good images -
there wasn't one that I didn't like - well done to all contributors, and
especially to those who make it happen. In future, should I thank the
auto-submission page?
Cheers,
Cotty
