    no photoshop or lightroom were used on any of these pictures

    the whole developing process was done in a dark room

    constructive criticism would be very much appreciated

    Photograph Rocks!

    WOW the concepts make me so giddy 8D, the airplane one especially. Good use of depth of field and focus, try to experiment more though.

    Your pictures are stock like, which can be good and bad at the same time.

    I really do enjoy the concepts though, keep up the good work.

    I can only agree with what others have said before. :)
    The picture of the airplane is fantastic, it expresses alot of emotions and I was stunned when I saw it.
    Good job, and the smell of a darkroom is amazing, don't you think? :)

    i really like them, somehow black and white pictures look better to me than colour pictures, i guess it's the larger contrast you get from black and white

    anyway, nice work!

    Wow great job
    I liked the one of the girl playing chess.

    I would love to give you a little tip:
    Watch for destracting items in the picture (parts that are directly related to the main focus)
    For example the blur patch near the bottom of the castle.

    Yay I love darkrooms :)

    Um, I'd recommend using a finer grained film.
