  1. Wow! You nailed it! Exposure is spot on, and the magnificent rooster tail balances the bright yellow boat. THIS is one photo where the rule of having action move into the picture, not out, is very successfully broken. A wall-hanger for sure. Now go take some more pictures!

    What a little cherub! Like has been mentioned, a little fill light would help. Not much, just a smidge (which is about 1/3 stop) would add sparkle to the eyes. Beautiful as is, though. A definite wall-hanger.
  2. It just may be my monitor, but my personal preference would be some more detail in the shadow areas. this might be one where a graduated N.D. filter would help. I may have to get me one of those. Overall, nicely done, and the figure gives just the right touch.

    Just one good one out of 36!? OOoo, practice some more! It is a good character study. The earlier accident explains his somewhat pensive expression. The thing on the wall is a distraction, and a bit of fill would help the face, but generally, well-done.

    Nice composition. I am not one to use graduated N.D. filters, but I love to see detail in all areas of the photo, and this looks like an instance where one would definitely help. The square whatever it is needs more detail, IMO. If it were bigger, a silhouette would work, but don't lose that magnificent sky!

    Busy! Ken: meter for the flesh tones, which are usually the most important for people pix. If they look about right, generally the rest will work out o.k. Averaged reading, open up one stop=pretty good skin tones, or set your exposure compensation for +1. Don't forget to change it back, tho.(don't ask me how I know this!) Just let the other elements fall where they may.
  3. Lovely, pensive mood. I have mixed feelings regarding the column. It could be either left in, or excluded. The railing to the left of the column should be cropped,though, as it adds little to the overall photo. The rule? Take your photo, then eliminate everything that doesn't look like a prize-winning photgraph, but not too much. THAT's the hard part! hee hee

    Shannon: I like it. It may be the scanner, but the flower appears somewhat unsharp. My preference is for needle-sharp photos, and to paraphrase Mark Twain; soften at your leisure. Nonetheless, beautiful.

    What a pretty little lady! A great first effort. The only suggestions I might have is, as mentioned, fill light on the face, and move the hands back toward the body. This is someone you obviously like a lot.

    As I sit here , eating my peanut butter and jam sandwich, lo and behold, this marvelous picture apppears. Is this a good day or what? Yours was, too. Some days, it is better to be lucky than good.

    Marvelous portrait, exposure is where it needed to be. The only "improvement" I might suggest is moving the head position slightly, so the girl is looking into the photo, and not out of it.
  4. Mark: You did good! It is better to be lucky than good, some days. But good is there, too. Given the apparent candid nature of the photo, not a lot of improvement could be done, but if it were a set-up shot, it just cries out for a head- to-toe of David, and a slightly more frontal angle,(for those who are familiar with the sculpture.) which may have eliminated some of the complaints about depth of field and isolation of the subjects. Great photo! I got a crick in my neck just looking at it. CC

    Marvelous! This is obviously somebody you really like. The eyes need to be more sharply focused, if the true character of the subject is to show through, but the softness doesn't detract, in this case.
