Competition

Photo Reception and Critique on October 1 at the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts (BMFA)

Jurors: Tannis Toohey (bio)

“Very moody! Nice flow within the clouds, makes me look around within them”

Peter Stranks (bio)

“The bar is set high when it comes to cloud images and this one meets it. Beyond the technical, I find that my eye can roam around the frame, finding and making images from what I see. The framing is perfect with the eye in the lower left third and the highlight balancing it in the upper right third. Research Stieglitz's equivalence. Congratulations. Make a big print!”

Also included in the show:

Tornado Warning

Tannis Toohey:

“Oh gee! that lower dark cloud has such uhmph! I wish you had tilted the camera down a bit to emphasize that cloud more and removed that brighter patch from the top. this has real power in the clouds.”

Peter Stranks:

“Quite a strong image and well intentioned as a black and white. The wonderful strong area bottom right is too low and little. I would tip my lens down to place it more in a third of the frame. Alternatively, move in or crop by cutting the left side by 1 inch and two inches off the top.”
