A cat I used to have almost joined me to a trip, when I was packing my bag. I only realized she was in my backpack when I was looking for her to say goodbye and she made some noise from my back!!! I love photos like this.

 

Nice look in his eyes, I don´t think it´s too dark. I´ll look into your folders for more pictures of your cat. What´s its name?

These "things" are just fishing nets, right??

 

You made them look terrible, looks like some hideous heads... Really scary. I normally don´t like colored filters, but in this shot it helps create te atmosphere.

 

Nicely done. NC

I also like the idea of a natural background. Since you don´t use vetgetation, your idea about rocks might be a good one. Use light colored ones, so the emphasis is still on the crhysalis. Maybe sand or something like that.

 

Nice photo, BTW. NC

Lovely picture.

Can´t see any detail on him, just the profile, and lots of details in the walls, a real

garage/tool shed. Framing him on the door, and exposing so you can get details on his stuff was great. And everything so sharp. Congrats!!

I like this very much.

 

Perfect framing, the spray on the right and the background surfer on the left, the wave on the bottom. I would like just a bit more contrast though.

I love macro!

 

I just said that in another picture. This one is great. I have a shot much like this, three droplets on a grass leaf. Because of the small pili on the leaf the drops look like they're floating.

 

But on this one you captured the texture and the drop is almost invisible. And that highlight, it is beautiful. It gives depth to the drop. Simple and plain, yet astonishing. NC

I love macro!!

 

A really great shot. Your did catch the right moment, that single leg in the air is great. And the DOF is also perfect, the whole body, and plenty of sharpness in the legs, and the rest is blurred.

Wow! Wow! and in case I haven't metioned , Wow!

 

When I fisrt saw the thumb, I thought they were clouds, only from a closer look I could see texture. Great picutre, leave the plane in the middle, its small enough not to upset me and gives depth to the mountains.

 

Show us more pics taken from your plane. Hope they are as good as this one.

I agree with all the comments!! It's a fantastic picture. "Fells" like a painting. Just enough detail and sharpness (to the original photograph, not the texture) to give a dreamlike effect. The pose and lighting is also perfect! A 10/10!!

 

BTW, you should really give this picture a title.

Couldn't agree more with Kurt!!

 

At first I thought it was a B&W tree trunk which you reddened in the shadows using PS or something, but now... If that was your intention, it was a fantastic idea!!!!

 

And I do prefer the red magma than the possible orange, it adds to the B&W composition.

 

Congrats, NC

Good shot, but I would lose the out of focus bottom and the big leaves on the right (they are distracting). You can crop the leaves almost totaly without cutting the dog´s ear. Is the dog yours? Looks like a good sunday nap company...

I agree with you, there are lots of things that could be improved, but nevertheless I like this photo. Unfortunately there´s nothing I can suggest to improve this alredy taken photo (maybe a little catchlight on the hamster). But it´s funny anyway.

I like the idea, but I think you could do much better. This what I think you could do to improve. Just my opinion, feel free to disagree (since I´m not a very experienced photographer :^)).

 

I like the framing on the landscape, but not on the bike. I don´t like the mirrors cut, and also the right handle. Either you show them fully (I think this is better) or crop even more. Maybe put your hands on the handles.

 

The reflex on the mirrors is not interesting, either move them so they show the helmet, or the sky, or maybe the road in the back, but not part of something.

 

I´d like the bike to be in the middle of the road (Ok, don´t need to do that as it´s dangerous), as well as moving (even more dangerous).

 

And I don´t like the shadow on the road (left). There is also some sun reflex on the right handle, it´s distractive.

 

Hope I´ve helped. Try a bit more carefully next time and you´ll get a great shot!!!!

I like it!!! Makes me feel relaxed... The colors (?) are great. I just don´t like the half tree on the left. Any chance you can crop without cutting the tree??

Sorry, officer. This snail suddenly got im my way and I had to swerve and hit you. Now may I please have my bike back??

 

Great photo!!! Could have used a bit more of DOF though (the snail wouldn´t be blurred...).

Take a look at this photo and you will see what I meant about the rocks.

I agree, this is the best of the set. I do like the framing also. Maybe get down just a little so that lonely flower would really stand out against the dark background.

 

Same thing, a graduated ND or a polarizer might have helped to darken the sky.

I like it, but I would get down near the river, and get some foregroud (again!!), and move to a position where I could make the river come out of the side (or corner) of the frame, not the bottom, and leave the top as it is... The eye would travel through the whole photo, because of the "S" of the river path. The way it is, I don´t pay much attention to left side of the frame... Which is more beautifull than the right, since there are details, like the small ridge and the cloud...

Same as the shot from the cities, too flat, lacks foregroud. I think I would try to frame this, at least on the bottom and the top (The sky is too bright, maybe a branch and some leaves would "break" that).

I thinks this looks flat, maybe some foreground might help... There´s something at right side, some walled yards, I´m curious about that. If the lens wasn´t enough to show what´s there, I´d either remove it completly or move the lens to the right (and crop some of the left, no great loss) to show some more.

The rocks are almost white, so the bottom of the photo is too light, and the mountains are too dark, there´s not much detail (might be my screen though). You said it was taken with a P&S. With an SLR, maybe use a graduated ND filter, to darken the bottom and get more detail in the mountains, but that may turn the sky too bright...

 

The rocks in the bottom produce no shadow at all (either the sky was overexposed or it was overcast - not a very nice mood for flowers... maybe a polarizer would help to darken the sky also).

 

It´s got everything I would be looking for in a landscape, foreground, sharp image, the horizon is leveled... but it doesn´t say anything to me, like if there´s something lacking... The same thing happens to lots of my own landscape photographs...

Now I´ve learned a few things I feel ready to get back at landscapes again (it´s been a few years that I haven´t shot a single landscape).

 

And the date on the bottom, that´s just awfull (though nothing can be done here)!!!!

Very nice picture. The building is very sharp (at least as much as possible), the trash and the ripples in the puddle give a nice touch.

Nice shot, just blurry ehough so you can see the landscape. Only glitch: the rocks at the top (or should I say bottom:^)). Either get rid of them, or make them more obvious. I think I would prefer more of them, it sure would be the giveaway that the photo is upside-down.
