I like the elements in this image. Good balance in lighting...contrast of textures between the rustic window, greenery and cat. Could make a great B+W.

Really nice shot, especially considering the tight space you had to work with. The windows are an interesting draw to the eye...but not overpowering. -
Really cool...for me, the tight crop works well here.

I notice the strong patch of blue sky pulling my eye away from the blossom; my recommendation would be to take it out with the cloning tool. -
Totally love it...Congrats!! -
Striking portrait. On my monitor the left side of her face is little hot, but it's offset nicely by the sharp detail of her eye...I think it works. -

Comments appreciated. Thanks! -

I like what you are attempting to capture here, but the image is held back in a few key areas. The first being the horizon...granted it could in reality be sloped, but the light poles off in the distance are clearly slanted. I would suggest rotating and cropping the image. Second, the lighting contrast is too great and has blown out all of the sky detail to save the shadows...shooting at a different time of day would improve the situation greatly. Third, I see a lot of purple fringing in the high contrast separations of the tree branches and sky...there are a number of software solutions to remove this, but again, shooting at a different time of day would likely eliminate the problem entirely. That aside, there's a nice "S" curve to the flowing water to move my eye through the composition, textures and shimmering reflections. Best wishes, Mark

Compared to the typical hummingbird posts the vantage point of this image is both interesting and original. Subject is indeed centered, but I don't find it at all detracting. Lighting/brightness on my monitor seems a bit flat; IMO it could be punched up a bit. Overall though - Great Job! -
Brilliant idea and execution, I imagine quite a bit of patience was involved!

I like the image, on my monitor I see a slight greenish cast above the sun in the upper left, but nothing too strong. What did you bracket at and over how many exposures?

What a fantastic folder, Leo! Both the color and B+W versions are appealing; the color having a painterly look and the B+W that of a fine sketch drawing...for me it's really a toss up. Best wishes.

I like how the red pops against this scene. My suggestions would be to crop a bit tighter to the left and clone out the protruding strap.

Beautiful color and detail; great composition. I would suggest editing out that strand of hanging grass, it seems to pull my attention away from the bird. -
IMO some go overboard with blurring and skin smoothing to the point it no longer looks like a person, but but more like a wax work figure...it just doesn't appeal to me personally.
I like what you've done here because it really does look like controlled DOF. Her eyes and eyebrows are sharp; and cheeks have texture...I expect to see skin texture and you've provided it.

I second all of Michael's comments, very well done. My only nitpick would be the top of her shoulder appears a bit hot, more skin detail in that area would draw my attention to it less.
