With all the gorgeous landscapes and macros and action, dogma's dog shots still stood out on every page and I remembered this one fondly.

The processing, timing, dof, and comp are all perfect as usual...

I really like this shot, the tones are stunning reflection is awesome yet very minamilist. The shot is very dramatic as it appears to suck you into infinity with the depth.

This is a quite superb image. The exposure is controlled well and the smooth result is evocative and oozing quality. I've had some tough times in my life over the past 6 months and I still have many sad days. The sun goes down and leaves us in the dark...
...but hope is there that a new day dawns again. It will not be dark forever. God is the giver, taker and sustainer of life.

I love this photo because, in addition to the wonderful clarity of the subjects, beautiful colours, and great POV, you've captured it at the perfect moment. It also tells such a story, and gave me a great laugh when I saw it.

Congrats on this image and on your wonderful body of work.

The backlight is perfectly handle, the pastel tones and the incredible crispness of the man silhouette are really superbs.
Composition is very well balanced as always in Saul's work and I love the details like the light in the glasses and most of all those birds like flying away out of his hands.
All in one a great great photo !
Oh and I could add it also reminds me this lil' cartoon buddy named "La Linea" (my buddy icone) that I loved so much years ago :o)

Congrats Saul !

I nominated this superb shot,because i can still remember my reaction when i saw it.I was about to take a sip of my drink and stopped.I recall uttering a very long "wow".
I believe what initially grabbed my attention was the amazing tonality,from a stark white right throught to a black so velvety you could sink into it.

The composition is also excellent,with the chair just placed so and that figure so beautifully choreographed.Yes,i use that word as although the figure is static,there is such a lot of movement and fluidity.Moreover,i can visualise the position being changed and rehearsed,to get it just right.And just right it is,because i cannot imagine it being made any better.

Personally I regard this excellent work of Gwyneth as a example of minimalism. It honorably happens to be the very first image in TP's HoF pool.

First of all the composition is the soul of the success. The kite and kite-flyers are placed uncommonly near the corner of the image. This large empty space between them seems to extend the distance a lot. Further more the position of the kite makes me feel that it's flying out of the image. I love this image mostly because it makes me think and feel.

The choice of black and white is also adequate. The tones in the image clearly s
eparates the ground and sky. This separation, plus the composition, push the kite even higher. It also helps me concentrate on the key elements without being distracted by the blue sky, green mountain and white clouds. I can't even imagine
what it would be in colors.

Digging out an interesting image out of simple things, events or activities is always difficult. This great work of Gwyneth inspires me a lot.

I love a good landscape photo of snow-covered mountains! If there's a lake with a beautiful reflection, all the better!
