We are pleased to present the work of Igor Doncov as the September 2016 Gallery of the Month.  Igor has been a regular contributor to the NPN galleries and I think it's safe to say that we have all enjoyed his participation.  Watching his work get better and better has certainly been an inspiration!

Congrats Igor, and thanks for posting your work on NPN!

Thank you, Jim.

This just makes me want to work harder. I've been so lazy.

Igor, you have such an excellent eye for composition, especially shooting intimate landscapes.  I always enjoy your work.  In some respects you and Pete Hyde are similar, and both are a true pleasure to view and study.

Thank you for the compliments. I'll try to not let them go to my head. Actually, my son is my greatest critic. He keeps me grounded.

Bill, thank you for bringing up Pete Hyde. However, I'm not in his league. Actually I'm always on the lookout for any mentions of good photographers. I look them up and follow some of them on a daily basis. Each is different and I learn from every one.

My list is:

Guy Tal
Marc Elliott
Michael E Gordon
Jack Dykinga
Charlie Waite
Chuck Kimmerle
John Paul Caponigro
Charlotte Gibb
Pete Hyde

Do you have favorites you wish to add?

My favorites seem to change frequently. Don't know if it's because of familiarity. I like the British photographers particularly because of the restraint in usage of color (Marc Elliot and Charlie Waite).

Pete Hyde is probably my favorite photographer.  His compositios and his processing just kills me. Guy, Chuck, Michael wouold all be on my list, as would Clyde Butcher.  I'll have to check out a couple on your list.
