  1. Very nice color but there are too many elements competing for attention. Additionally, the background to too much in focus and it too tries to steal the attention of the viewer. I really like the color, but I feel some selective composition and focus would have made this even a better picture.
  2. Interesting grab shot of a wild creature invading the domain of the photographer. The white area on the left side of the picture is a major distraction. If you had time (and you probably didn't because spiders, etc. will not wait for you to reposition your camera), you could have moved slightly to the left to eliminate the distraction. Maybe it's the digital reproduction of the picture, but the spider appears out of focus.

    Even though this picture does not give the boat breathing room on the left-hand side of the picture, the composition is interesting and pleasing. There is a good sense of color and screnity. Nice job.
  3. Nice picture but the subject should be closer to the left side of the picture. You have "Bulls-eye" composition, i.e., centered subject which is a cardinal sin in photography. Nice leading line, but it would have been even more effective with the subject on the left side of the picture.
  4. Nice intent with this picture but there are two glowing errors. One, the horizon is crooked. Secondly, the picture is cut directly in the middle making a potentially great picture look static. Recommend thinking more about composition -- where the subject needs to be in the picture; this includes horizon lines their position in realtion to the picture.
  5. I absolutely love night pictures, but a cardinal sin was committed with this picture; the main point of interest (the subject) is centered. It would have been a much more effective picture if the subject was repositioned either in the top 1/3 of the picture and let the water reflection balance out the rest of the picture. Centerd subjects are too static; unfortunately, there's were the typical light meter measures the light and people get accustomed to centering their subjects. I'd recommend working on composition and learning how to measure the light to get the effect you're after. Following the meaters reading will spoil more pictures than creat great ones.

    Almost a great picture. The horizon painfully cuts the picture in half -- a cardinal sin. Additionally, the reflections could have been employed more and then leaving more of the sky out of the picture. Nice try.
