Moon Over Miamiby JuliBocComment: Unfortunately, the highlights on this are very overblown. Yet something about this is very appealing to me. It somehow looks like something from the 1950s. I'm not sure if it would loose that vintage feel if it were properly exposed, but if it did, I'd take the over-exposure just to keep that old feeling! |

Natural studyby hajekaComment: Weston never really used shallow depths of field like this. He was into texture and tonality, both of which are lost when you open up the aperture. |

Weston's Tomatoesby littlemavComment: I know tomatoes always seem to look out of focus is photographs due to their strange skin texture, but I think yours is actually OOF since the leaves aren't as sharp as the stem. Weston usually used small apertures and long exposures to get a deep depth of field. The texture in the stem is great though. |

Horseby PaulComment: Great floor and background wall--they fit very well with the Weston style. The strange, slightly awkward pose is also typically Weston. I only would have liked to see a deeper depth of field to capture that texture in the floor and wall. |

Fan VIby TiberiusComment: I love the near-symmetry. I would have liked to see better detail, particularly in some of the shadows. |

Soft Spotby glad2badadComment: I love that you used a flower on wood, yet didn't exactly copy Weston's most famous image of a flower on wood. This is simple, yet beautiful. I still would have liked to see more detail and a bit more localized tonality in the wood. |

Lettuceby james_soComment: I don't know if it is the light or the BnW or if this lettuce is really wilted and dead. Either way, Weston had a way of using light to make the subject come alive and look incredibly lustrous, and, for me, you did not do that here. |

Desert Flowerby balancedfoxComment: The composition is nice, but I would have preferred soft light since that's what Weston usually used with this type of subject. |

Lite Pearby KelliComment: I think it looks very strange how the subject has so much grain and the background is mostly smooth. |
