Published in a LensWork Book- Seeing in Sixes

Indeed, what Phil said. Congratulations, Slobodan!
That first image is stunning. The moon is small, but just in the right shape and position.

Thanks, Les!

In management theory, it is known as "managing by walking around." Or, as we photographers would say "composing with your feet." I actually walked around the building until I got the moon right where I wanted it. I could have achieved the same much easier in Photoshop, but I have my scrupuli

Great, Slobodan. I'll be getting the book shortly if Brooks is on the ball.

The balance of that one is amazing.  Each of the main diagonals that it follows are, of course, slightly offset to the general trend line they create, and then the moon is just slightly offset from that same trend line but in the opposite direction.  I don't think a Ps job would have considered that subtlety, and for me it just adds even more.  That you did it by taking a walk is wonderful to hear.  I spent 90% of a fortnight in the Simpson Desert using just my 50mm lens and being forced to walk (or run) around to get shots.  I loved it!

Lovely work Slobodan.  From shot through processing.

These are exceptional, Slobodan. I'm so impressed!

You certainly have a very aware eye for this kind of imagery; it might make sense to concentrate on it and not spend time with other genres. I would be inclined to stick with b/white, but I would imagine the spin-off from colour will probably be greater. But hence the beauty of digital: you can often get them both working on the same shot.

It's not to suggest you are lacking in other types of photo, simply that time is not elastic.

I hope they're paying you a good advertising fee for the use of your six pix.
In any case, congrats: really classy work, as we expect from you.

Wow, congratulations! Super images too. The moon one is my favorite.

[Farmer]

Fantastic (again/still)!

[Rob C]

Congratulations, Slobodan.

Shame that the bottom row of images is jarred by the levels of the two shots on the right: I think they could have made better use of that part of the space and copy. It's the kind of thing that caused various magazine photographers to frame their work so that it became almost impossible for layout people to mess with their shots.

However, it looks as if the whole is spread over two pages, which relieves the effect somewhat.

But hey, your images survive!

Great images Slobodan, congratulations!

... it looks as if the whole is spread over two pages, which relieves the effect somewhat...

Yes, it is printed, in the book, as six pages, three double-page spreads. I just grouped it here for a single shot.

And it looks really good in the book.

Hoping my copy will arrive today.

 Warmest congrats Slobodan!!! This makes several times you've been published, not many here can say that.

It's a very good set of images for sure.   A good job not only on the images themselves, but the collection as a whole.  They really work together, which is a talent all its own, and something I personally struggle with in my own work.

Part of the credit for "working well together," at least in print, goes to LensWork. Notice how well they paired the images? The first two are all about straight lines, the second two about triangles, and the third pair about curves and diagonals.
