Love the first & last ones especially! Well done!! The last one has a feel of old time movies to me.

Welcome to DGrin!
I really like this one

http://rundadar.smugmug.com/photos/145108131-S.jpg

The composition really tells a story to me. And the light - nice. I'm wondering though if this isn't just a little dark, like maybe the exposure could be boosted about 1/2 stop?

I like the B&W conversion of this one:

http://rundadar.smugmug.com/photos/98159742-S.jpg

But I think a little more contrast would boost it a bit. I would also have cropped it a little tighter, especially on the right side.

And this one

http://rundadar.smugmug.com/photos/133290567-S.jpg

I don't see anything I would change on this one. This is one terrific image!

The last one

http://rundadar.smugmug.com/photos/120991670-S.jpg

The guy looks like he was not at all pleased that you were pointing your camera at him. Again, a little more contrast and a boost of levels might improve this conversion a bit (but that's just MHO).

For whatever my vote is worth, these are some really fantastic images. Looking forward to seeing more!

I like slighty dark. Seriously.

Well, it's a actually a joke (did you notice their shirts - the picture on one and the sentence on another?) :) So... I wanted to keep this shot real (less perfection/composition) - even the B&W conversion chosen is intentionally flat (panchromatic)

And this one

:agree with everything that Scott said. Welcome to Dgrin and im looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[urbanaries]

these show an amazing range of style and quality. I love them all individually although I'd have to say the last is my favorite. It's simple and engaging, and leaves you with a bit of a question mark. Welcome!

Wow... these are really nice. There is character in every one of these shots. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

[saurora]

Welcome to Dgrin and wow, what a great first post! :clap

#1 Great composition - unique angle.
#2 Made me laugh!
#3 An all-out beautiful capture! (My fav)
#4 Funny! All the eyes! I like the direct eye contact (even though there's more than 2!!!)
#5 A strange expression, but an engaging image. Sure makes me wonder what he is thinking about.

Hi Rundadar,
really like them all, except #2. Very very nice candid shots, full of vibe. Maybe I'll try and take out that blue cast on the last one. Veyr well done in my opinion.

Judah,

Thanks for your comments. But please don't take out the blue cast on the last one. It's a half-tone and was added on purpose during the B&W conversion.

Good variety in both approach and in the photographed subjects. First three images are particularly well done. Bravo!

Thanks a lot, eh :) Your Hebrew is better than that of billions' of other people (it's an undeniable achievement to be better at something than billions of people!). And your Hebrew is better than my Hebrew 16 years ago :)
