With all the recent unrest I thought I would post a few images from my trip to Burma a couple of months ago...

Hi Mitchell,

I received - and am still receiving - a significant number of error messages that look like they're coming from your hosting server.

It seems that you're restricted to just 3 viewing clients ... and consequently I'm unable to see any of your images, in either this, or your other, post.

I can't see the last image for some reason, but the first two are fantastic, especially the 2nd one with the cows! I would be very interested to see how the No.2 turns out in B&W. I think the green of water distracts from the strong perspective element of the image. I think the image has strong contrast to look great as b&w.

I hope I have fixed the problem with the images not appearing...
Cheers

Can see the shots. All excellent. I like the one of the little guy trying to waterski behind the buffalo. :D

OK I can see them now and it was worth the wait.

#1 - great framing and use of colour in this one
#2 - inspired composition - it's such a different perspective to the usual and works fantastically well
#3 - not a big fan of this other than the fact it's recoding something that no doubt means more to you. It's a bit unbalanced and my eye is drawn very strongly to the right upper corner away from the subjects
#4 - a great intimate portrait and good use of available light

Love the lighting in the last one too, now that I can see it.

In contrast to Peter I actually like #3. The group is posing for a photograph that will capture their likeness for ever...but when the eye slips up to top right we see a group who are not involved. They miss out on being immortalised and yet they are no less important. To me the image illustrates the fortunes of life. Fate draws us to our destiny. Lady luck deals the hand.

Interesting discussion on #3 - very poetic Matt!!!

I was randomly wandering and watched these boys have a game of soccer. As soon as I pulled out my camera they magically formed the pose in which you see them. One shot and it resonates with me for some reason. I liked that with no prompting they instantly struck a team pose that somehow seems universal.
