I poked around and found the images hidden beneath the page. I particularly liked http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Photo%20of%20Week/00220.jpg (signature Manley), http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Photo%20of%20Week/00308.jpg (she has great dignity *and* the colors are a sensual treat, even if a little cool), http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Photo%20of%20Week/00317.jpg (great sense of space and converging lines), http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Photo%20of%20Week/00519.jpg (the subject's knowing eyes are compelling). http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Photo%20of%20Week/00416.jpg is just a sensual feast of color, nearly irresistable on that count, but I wonder whether it holds up otherwise -- the portraits seem to work better when the people are being engaged directly. http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Photo%20of%20Week/00207.jpg: I don't know whether the diagonal-ness condemns it as gimmicky or doesn't need to. I'm still looking at it. I know I've taken my share of photos compositionally akin to that which looked cool in the viewfinder but didn't stand the test of time; but I'm not Tina Manley, either. H'mm.
