I think I would have tried a lower angle.

Nicely handled. The light is not over-dark, as so often in forest shots, and the blurred water is not overdone. 8, 7

A little overdone, but I like this sort of thing, so: 8, 6.

Shadow detail lost in face. Yeah, fixing it will lose the sky, but waddya gonna do?

July 1, 2002

Needs a larger presentation.

If this was all sharp, it would be killer.

Good, arresting. I'd like more highlights on the bees. Strobe, perhaps?

I would crop tighter on left and right. Ithink this would work very well in square format.

July 1, 2002

Good. I like the darkness and coldness of it. I would tilt it somewhat to the left.

July 1, 2002

First rate.

July 1, 2002

What the heck is that thing?

I like the diffused light.

July 1, 2002

I would crop it tighter.

July 1, 2002

Good! crop tighter on the right.

WHile black background are often effective for nature closeups, in the case of this subject, it hurts. A leaf or something would have helped.

Yummy. I love this sort of thing. I'd PS-out the wisp of clouds at upper right.

I would crop this to remove the lioness. Also it looks tilted to right. I would try and crop that out.

I'd like this better without the blue cast. Still quite nice.

I think the bridge photo is definitely the stronger of the two. It's coffee-table-book quality, imo. :)

December 22, 2001

I would crop the blank left side

December 22, 2001

I think this would be stronger if the tree was cropped out.

December 17, 2001

I would crop the vegetation off the right.

First rate. Shades of Eric Meola. :)

I think this would work better if the vantage was shifted to the left. Having the vertical bar "run into" the end of the semi-hoop in back is distracting. Also it would help if the background was further out of focus.

A strong image. I like the somberness. I think cropping off the top portion of lighter sky would make it stronger yet.

Overall, I like this. There is an ambiguousness in her expression and hands that is appealing. Is she robing or disrobing? Is she speaking? What are her eyes so intently focused on? Interesting.

The only real aesthetic problem I have with it is the prominence of her right ear. The way the lighting is set up, this is just about the brightest part of the exposure. My eye keeps being drawn to it, as if it is some appendage. Not that it's an unattractive ear, but it draws the eye away from the interesting parts of the photo, which is her hands and expression. I'm not sure how to fix it. Lighting changes would help, as perhaps would some adjustment of her hair.
