5 Great Photographs (And Why I Like Them) 

Thoroughly enjoyable. I'm looking forward to more of these videos.

I love the images and the comments - but the animation of the text takes my attention away from the image as the words are forming. Thanks for doing this, Tomasz!

Wonderful presentation of these photographs and background music.

Great concept Tomasz, thoroughly enjoyed viewing the video. Wonderful selection and good variety across the chosen 5. Look forward to seeing more.

I love the explanations of why you like them. Knowing what makes a photograph truly great is the most important thing that you can learn

For me it's like a ten minutes of meditation. So inspiring and good for your photographical sense. More of this!

lovely to spend time just looking and not scrolling! Thanks. Enjoyed all the photos, especially the couple in black and white.

It a great pleasure to read your thoughts to each image. It makes them so much more valuable. Thank you for sharing this.

Magical! Shows the power of photography.

This type of video is what helps me as a photographer understand the elements that make for great photography. It helps me reflect on my own work. Looking forward to more videos of this kind as I look to improve my work in 2023. Thanks Tomasz

I truly loved this format and appreciate the work you did to create it. I really liked the music!

Oh this is a beautiful account of a life well lived. I love these photos!

Great selection of wonderful images representing a range of styles. Loved watching the video, lots of food for thought there thank you. More like this please.

Yes! Great idea and awesome selection. Thank you!

What a great variety of photos. I love this.

A great presentation and comments. Hope for more. Thank you.

I really liked this new segment. As before said it is almost a 10 minutes meditation. Vey enjoyable and it gives a new approach of watching photos; deliberately slowed down, insightful comments that are intellectually intriguing and smooth conducive music to tie everything together. Looking forward to future segments. Thanks.

Yes.. this is a great way to absorb images and your thoughts around them!

Enjoyed this video and the variety of images selected. Appreciated your critique of each. Helpful! Look forward to seeing more videos.

Lovely idea I really enjoyed this👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love the concept. Want to see more.

Love this set and the slow viewing along with your commentary!

What an excellent idea!

Great video Tomasz, love this idea.

Love this format, and hearing what speaks to you. More, please!

Very much enjoyed this format.

Je viens de revoir ces images. C'est un visionnement bien monté avec des textes consis et une musique enveloppante. Bravo!

Excellent concept, excellent images. I am looking forward to more as it’s really good to slow down and be able to immerse as if at an exhibition, thank you.

great idea and selections, I enjoyed it.

I really like this concept and would enjoy this as a regular feature and addition to my Frames subscription

Wonderful! I spent time really enjoying the images as you suggested. Like a mediation.

Tomash, excellent idea. I realized I was flipping through images too quickly. Inspiring. I may agree or disagree with your comments, but I don't want to argue it. To me, there are so many excellent photographers and images out there , it takes a lot to stand out.

Good selection, and accurate remarks

I love this Tomazs, good concept!

I am really enjoying this series of videos.

Nice job. Loved the images, but also the way you slow motioned the captions. Keep it up.

Great selection Tomash. Feels great to see a fellow photographer being featured in the shortlist. Excellent initiative to pause and enjoy the images just as I have started shooting an all manual lens in the fast paced world of Af.

Excellent quality.

Lovely images. More of this type of content please.

This was most enjoyable a good way to learn more. Thank you.

I agree with K E Lok. Viewing these beautiful photos was like a form of meditation, but also a mini-course in good photographic principles and techniques. I love it. Hope to see more.

Great way to end the day. Thank you. BTW they all looked so analogue! From Kodachrome II, to 4x5 black and white, to Polaroid!

Really like this kind of video. Very inspiring. Great concept and I hope it will be regular. Thanks Tomasz for your involvement.

Seeing your comments helps me to form vocabulary for my own thoughts about photography ... thanks for sharing.

Excellent!!!

As you know, my interests are not in conventional photography but I enjoyed reading your comments. THANKS!

very interesting choice and informative comments. As others have said, I like this format and please make some more choices and videos.

all fabulous choices Tomasz 👉🏼💪🏼💪🏼🌟

Wow, das ist echt tolles Video! Danke Dir!

The first photo reminds me of Alex Webb’s work. He shot street photos with several people and layers in the frame. He also worked in vivid color.

Love this video, so relaxing to watch great photos with great music in a slow tempo. I like your comments but not the text animation. Thanks.

Lovely selection and thoughtful comments. Not crazy about the animated text, however, finding it a bit distracting. Overall, though, I really like the concept and approach. Great stuff, Tomasz!

Thanks great video, great concept too. I even stopped the video for a while with picture 4. I hope you will make more video's like this :)

Loved this! Your comments were insightful. It was great to be able to focus on and think about the images.

Thank you !!

This was so enjoyable and inspiring! Please continue doing this!

Hi Tomasz, wonderful idea... Personally, I'd lose the captions all together (keep the title, of course) and would prefer just to hear your voice over which is always expressive and detailed. 😊

I liked your choice of photos & agreed with your comments on them. An impression I'd add on the last, tree, photo is that the yellow & green color grading they used enhances the feeling of the subject matter... I also like the idea of your video using descriptive assessments of well-done photographs. Only one negative (at least to me) that I'd prefer be changed - I really didn't care for the text randomly floating in & out (but I don't like Powerpts in which ppl feel compelled to use all the wacky fly-in/out features either). To me, it detracted from the overall calming/artistic video preso. Could you perhaps experiment with just a straight left to right 'wipe' of the text or a simultaneous fade in/fade out of all the text vs random letters flying around? Thx for sharing your insights on the photos!

More like this please

A truly fully deserving selection of photos , love this Idea a great show and tell ..Thank you for doing this :)

Thank you for this presentation. I am new to the channel and I am loving it, I think this format of leaving the pictures on the screen for some time with your comments underneath works very well. Maybe a little roundup at the end to could add to the experience. Thank you again!

Hi, i really like that concept and enjoyed seeing your five picks and why you chose them. I have two suggestions: keep your own intro very short and do away with the animation on your text: it doesn’t add anything and is distracting.

Wonderful images! And I love this entire concept as well. Cheers!

The concept is great, we could all benefit from learning to slow down and take time to look at and think about photographs. Small niggle for me was the way the text appeared which I found distracting but great initiative, more please!

I enjoyed looking at these photographs through your eyes (via the comments) though I had a few reactions that were different eg I also enjoyed the patterned areas and how they were situated in the plain, in the first - and the nephew and girlfriend told me a whole story so I felt no need to know more - but different responses means a complex and interesting photo. I agree re the shifting letters, interesting the first time, then frustrating waiting for what you had to say to emerge after that. The music was fine.

Great photographs full of inspiration. The first image Tomasz is, as you comment is full of vivid colour and good composition. One thing though in my humble opinion I thinks it's a stated photo. Look at the guy coming around the corner on th left and compare it to the guy coming down the alley. Their facial features are the same and both are holding phone to their ear. Clever composition but staged.

I liked taking time to look at these images deeply. This is a very good way of presenting images. I hate the 3-second swipe.

Really enjoyable. Before the comments came up I formulated my own response to see how it compared to yours. Surprisingly (for me at least) we agreed on a lot of things!

Hey Tomas, The photo reviews were excellent. Being as you ended the video with a snippet of the Frames magazine being printed & considering the recent debate on the future of the magazine, how about an in depth video of what it takes to get the magazine to distribution?

Great concept! Really enjoyed it and looking forward to seeing more of this! :) The only thing was that I found the text animation a bit distracting!

Super images. Found the light on the first portrait a little too "hot" for me but enjoyed them all. Great variety of styles also. Like others have said though the floaty text was very distracting so perhaps that could be addressed next time.

Yes, very nice way of demonstrating the strong aspects of the selected photo's. The way you handel the captions I find a bit distracting.

I really like the idea of “Slow Photography” - some great images and enjoyable to engage with - the only negative (for me) was the text “build”. / animation, which was annoying and distracting. This is meant as constructive criticism…. I really like the idea :- )

The format works well. Suggest changing the style on the captions. Simplify and eliminate the timing difference on the character appearance. The first image looked staged and was not comfortable to look at. The rest were worth the time and option to look at again. Also like the musical backgrounds. It helps keep me focused on the screen and covers up background noise. Please do more.

Great concept and a thoroughly enjoyable viewing experience but please, no text next time 😊

Great idea, I like the video, even though I still prefer to look at pictures on paper than on the screen. But what I find annoying are the bouncing letters of the text....

I like the idea and hope to see more similar videos, but the text animation is very annoying

These are 5 excellent photographs. Some I hadn't seen ; and I am glad to have been able to discover the work of the photographers. But I am not sure that a video is a good way to present these photographs ; I would prefer a comment on a page (even in FB) with the chosen photographs, explaining why these are great photographs.

Hope this becomes a cycle!

How do you distinguish between what is a technically perfect photo and one you “like”?

Really enjoyed the images and your critique of each, especially why you liked them. However I found the music loud, annoying and overpowering

Excellent photos, but please restrain yourself from playing too much with the text effects - they are really distracting.

I find the text under the photos distracting , it keeps putting me away from the photo, I would rather you speak to us .

Annoyingly you can't edit comments. Not stated,staged
