Always a tough image to capture. I can see what you were attempting but this needs a little more thinking about the framing to make this work for my eye. -

Interesting image but you can't see the little blokes face in this image. -
I would have liked to see more space in front of the action. Currently it looks like a snap shot. Feeding ducks, throwing rocks, who knows.

Nice image. Would have been improved if you were able to wait for a boat, ship, rower etc.

This isn't the type of shot I normally appreciate, but this is an exception.
The composition and production of this image is wonderful, even the dark area seems to work.
Congratulations.

Interesting image of a tree branch. Maybe this should have been of the creature hidden on the branch by reframing.

Great images jd colours. I feel the top of the image has been strangled a little. Perhaps using a full upper third might give a little space to make this image work wonderfully.

Hey SIna,
There are lots of contradiction and breaking of rules in this frame...all of which seem to make sence. It feels like a shot about textures...but then loneliness, then intimacy...all of which I can argue strongly for. Then the little break of repetition in te top right...it all works for wrong reasons.
I do like it...I like the framing and given the varying elements that normally I wouldn't like, these come together as a theme IMHO.
Nice work

Hey Blaz,
This is a lovely setting, i love the way you have used complimenting colour of forground and background surrounding the slightly differing colour of your model.
Two things that you could consider.
1. the tree growing out of the models head.
..although I am sure you know this.2. The large bright area, particularly above the models right shoulder steels my attention due to its brightness but then leads me nowhere. Might be a good argument for a little burning in PS. If you don't like that idea, consider that in the "olden" days of wet photography they would have dodged and burnt this image to their hearts content with no complaint
Other than that, this is a very nice image
Keep up the good work

Hey RA,
Nice image...I can imagine some desolate music topping this image off.
I like the repetition of theme through the road, snow, fence etc. I also like the way you have captured the isolation of this image.
The large empty triangle in the foreground is a little disconcerting with my eye searching forlornly for something in the large area to keep my eye. Perhaps a slightly lower angle and bringing the road all the way to the right third may have helped this.
Either way, a nice image

G'day Lannie,
I see your simple rustic style shines and develops over time...even a touch or macro in there as well.
So nice to see your work again and how it continues to evolve.
I have just come back from Antarctica.
While I never paste my good work online, if you are interested, drop me a line and I will email some small versions to have a peek at.

PS Happy New Year
PPS Nikon Australia loaned me a D3 - the first to go to Antarctica - it is awesome

Hey Cal,
This is so very nearly an iconic shot. Clearly you have the eye for the shot but maybe some thoughts on technique will turn great shots likes above into an awesome keeper.
For mine, the background mountain is too washed out and the foreground nicely saturated but perhaps a little too much or lacking in detail.
Two suggestions come to mind.
A. I little time to the levels in Photoshop could even out the shot or...
B. Take two shots a differing spot metered settings then bring them together. The pundits won't like this suggestion but sometimes...
As an after thought, use a Gradiated ND filter.
Good luck with your work.

Hi Ken,
Just a little too much fill flash takes away from this being a great shot IMO. It is very nicely composed managing to tell a story within the frame.
Nice work

Hi Paul,
After looking through you portfolio on this forum, I have to say..."give up your night job" - I am assuming it is wedding photography.
Your eye , creativity and composition work are beyond words.
I must admit that I wonder why people put their best work on these sites...I would never do that...only my second level shots reach these pages for protective reasons.
Good luck with your big future Paul

Capturing flames is something I have tried for years to attain....This one frame exceeds any of my attempts...now where are those matches...
Nice work

Cropping on the LHS may have immensly helped this image

The addition of people in this shot is the difference. A VERY RARE 7 from me.

Lovely mood shot that may be helped a little with a touch more detail in the trees.
