It's cropped a bit tight on the left. I would crop tighter on the right to balance the image. Because he is a border merger I thing the shadow of the lamp post should be closer to the edge of the frame. Neat image.

I would burn in the upper corners to darken them a bit. They are not adding to the geometry of the photo. Nice abstract composition.

You can see the shoes because they are stationary for a moment while the person is walking. If you opened up your aperture a bit you would have captured the people better.

I would like to see a bit more space above the dogs head. It would provide better framing. I would vignette the dog to pull the eye there. There is a competition between the dog and the owner to be the subject. I would clone out the border merger on the left, upper corner.

I would like to see a person here to give a sense of scale. There is no clear subject. My eye keeps going to the AC unit, the sign, and the door.

I would like to see this as a vertical format rather than a square.

August 6, 2009

I would crop a bit more from the left of the frame. That space adds nothing to the image. Excellent use of depth of field.

August 6, 2009

I'm not sure what the subject is here. The girl by the fountain, the children walking out of the frame, or the musician could all be the subject. If you created a vignette around the girl at the fountain it would help lead the eye better.

I would not have shot so tightly. The subjects foot being chopped off is distracting.

Blur the background or crop tighter. The heavy equipment is distracting.

August 2, 2009

I would crop tighter and loose a bit from the top and right side.

August 2, 2009

I like the way you used the white bricks to isolate the subjects. I might add a bit of a vignette and darken the corners a bit.

August 2, 2009

I like the way you isolated the subject but I think it's a little too small. I would re-crop and eliminate the windows in the upper portion of the frame.

August 2, 2009

I would crop just above the light post. The sky is adding nothing to the photo and weakens the strong leading lines of the street and the pipes.

August 2, 2009

I would crop out the upper portion of the frame. The clouds are distracting from the subject.

August 2, 2009

Lose the shoes. They give you a double subject. A little too much space on the left of the frame.

Her left hand and foot make things look a bit odd. They spoil the curves.

I like the shape and how the model is posed. I wish her face was a bit lighter.

We new there were eagles in the area. We never guessed one would try

something like this.

There can be beauty in death. The death of this car is a tragedy.

I agree with the double copyright comment. I would crop the left image to completely remove the head.

August 31, 2008

I would crop a bit tighter. The sky is competing with the subject. Perhaps a bit of fill flash or just a curves adjustment to brighten up his face and eyes.

August 31, 2008

I would crop a bit tighter and as a vertical.

August 31, 2008

I really like this photo. I would like to see it a bit darker. A little more detail in the highlights and a little darker in on the left side to frame the image.
