Your portfolio is wonderful! Especially the Single Photos section...what an eye for color and bold lines. You have some really awesome captures here. (And about Darwin, at least he got one thing right!)
Jill Placey , August 09, 2005; 10:30 P.M.
Ditto!
Wow, I just looked at your portfolio and have the exact same comment for you about it as Kim did. Beautiful colors, great subjects, you definitely have a lot of talent.

Thank you for critiquing my photo. I had a look at yourportfolio and I am honoured that you liked my shot, especially seeing that you are highly accomplished at seascapes. Although you have many excellent landscapes, my favourite in your gallery is Melody.
Nathan Ross , January 09, 2006; 07:39 P.M.
You have many great photos here. My favourite is South of the Sun - it immediately grabbed my attention as atmospheric and a great subject. Cheers, Nathan.
nate simms , January 12, 2006; 09:30 P.M.
The water shots are really nice, but like an earlier comment said, the split filter line is too visible and too low. it causes the water, or the rock or whatever to have a visible unnatural line across it. if the sky alone were held back, they would be sweeter, but I still definitely like them all.
Suzanne Schwind , January 13, 2006; 12:46 P.M.
by the way, i never really thought about it but you are the one who re-inspired my interest in photography... so thanks; and i got my camera back! lets go crazy..
keep up the hot photos, YOU rock

Hi Jon-Michael
Just popped in again to say I love your work - great secret beach shots - and despite your loss ($100) - I am sure it was worth it.
Bianca Van Der Werf , March 29, 2006; 06:31 P.M.
AMAZING!!!
What a briliant portfolio do you have... I'm covered in silence at this moment. Those colours burst into my room! Very very beautiful! I come back many times..
Jon-Michael Basile , March 31, 2006; 09:45 P.M.
Thanks to everyone. I had to sell my camera for rent but, I am going to raise money for a new one by selling my photos. Good luck shooting everyone.
Best Wishes,
JM

If anyone wants to buy my prints it would help me save up to get my camera back. And I would be indebted to you for ever. I can sell you anything you see of mine, as big as 19" by 12". Anything could help. Make an offer. Thanks again.

Secret Beach
I review one photo of the beach photos and gave it an average. I then viewed the rest of the portfolio and felt that I should leave another comment :). I think the secret beach section is wonderfull! Great color and framing, definitely one of my favorite type of photos.
Also, may I ask what lens you use for your Macros??
Great work!
Kazimiera M , April 22, 2006; 02:21 A.M.

Thanks to everyone. It is a great feeling to read your wonderful comments. Thank you Marc, your photos are a true insperation to me and to get a portfolio comment from you is an honor. I just started selling my work at some art shows and in a few galleries. More and more everyday I think of how amazing it would be to do this for a living. Who knows but I do know that I am having the time of my life.

Excellent Pictures
The colors, contrasts, and scenes in your pictures are amazing...
There are such an incredible feeling in them, so many life and movement.
They are superb.

Thank you everyone. I enjoy hearing all you have to say. I just recently got into the Visions gallery in Morro Bay. visions gallery

Joe Minolfi , May 25, 2006; 12:59 A.M.
Jon
Plain and simple. Your photos are a work of art all deserving a home on someone's wall. I also have the sigma 10-20 DC AND the same Cokin filters you use only I haven't used them much. Are you going to upgrade to the canon 5D?

Very nice
Came across your portfolio and it caused me to stop and ponder your many images. I've come away from my time here feeling uplifted, inspired, and satisfied. A very nice body of work Jon-Michael.
Jon-Michael Basile , June 22, 2006; 03:14 P.M.
I want to say thanks again to everyone. I just won best of show in a big California Central Coast exhibition and it felt so good. I think the reason why I love photo.net is it is like therapy for me. I need people to enjoy my photos so I know I am making somewhat of a small difference. And hopefully my photos can make someone's day a little better.

Jon Martin , June 27, 2006; 11:27 A.M.
Jon-Michael
I think this is a very strong portfolio and you have indeed found your outlet. Your composition is precise and sympathetic to the subject and allows the image and the sence of place to flourish.
I will keep an eye on your work as I have drawn inspiration from from your work.
All the best
Jon

Jon-Michael Basile....you are becoming one of the best photographers on Photo Net! Each and every one of your images is superb. Although i'm not the biggest fan of sunset shots (just look at my biography) I do know a good one when i see one. All your shots are amazing and you should be proud of each and every one of them. WONDERFUL, wonderful stuff!!!

Your work has really developed well since I last had a look through your portfolio, although many individual shots have caught my attention in TRP. You certainly have developed a personal style, even though your seascapes are surprisingly varied. I have also enjoyed your non-sea-based shots very much and hope you continue to explore other areas of photography. I hope you're having some success with your foray into the profressional ranks.
Justin Johnson , August 22, 2006; 02:34 A.M.
I enjoy visiting your sunset photo's!
Congrats!
Ken Simm , August 24, 2006; 10:13 P.M.
A body of work to be more than proud of. There is a layered richness to your work that makes me stand in awe. I'm aware that mutual appreciation non comments seem to be a fashion lately but it is rare to see such serious work of outstanding quality. Regards Ken.
Bharath Nair , August 28, 2006; 10:44 P.M.
Well Done
Your eye for composition is quite amazing.. its distinctive enough to have created your own style.. spectacular. If I might post a critique, the pictures seem a little over saturated. Toning them down a bit would still bring out all the beauty of these amazing pictures. Keep it up
