Loved the clouds that seemed to wrap themselves around the lighthouse.

Any ideas or critiques are more than welcome.

With this one I tried to turn it into a moody picture. Used a

polarizer to create a dark sky so the high cross would stand out more.

What do you think? Too 'gray'? Too 'perceived'? Anything else you'd

have preferred differently? Thanks for all your critiques!

Honest critiques more than welcome. I'm very willing to learn and

want to know from anyone if the picture 'works' or doesn't work. In

this case, does the strange angle get your attention, or is it

distracting you? Thanks!

Before taking the picture I was playing with some of the settings of

the Powershot G2. Although I normally like my pictures to be sharp, I

set the setting to soft to see what would work. Any other critiques or

suggestions about this photo (or any of my other ones) are more than

welcome as well, of course.

Honest critiques are more than welcome. I'm seriously looking for good

advice on what works and what doesn't.

Looking for honest critiques to get some perspective on what I'm doing

out there... Thanks!!!

I've been looking at my own pictures so often that I can't be

objective anymore. Some I've grown to dislike, some I simply cannot

dislike or even find things wrong with. So I'd love to get some

honest critiques...

The blue sky is great. I like the movement of the mills as well. Only thing that doesn't work for me is the blurring of the road and the rest of the picture. At least something should not be on the 'move', I think.

The aperture I used wasn't that small, actually... only 4.0, exposure was 1/50. That seems a bit weird, but I actually had two filters on the G2 for this shot, a circular polarizer and a red filter. Luckily the G2 has quite a wide angle, so you can achieve a decent dof with a relatively large aperture.

Personally I was bummed out by the sign on the right hand site of the

picture, but unfortunately I could not go back to redo the shot. Any

comments anyone?

What do you think about this photo? Are the people on the bridge

disturbing? Water too dark? Anything?

Just give me any feedback you'd like to give. Thanks a lot.

I think I would prefer this picture without the little toy thingy. Maybe there's a specific reason you've put it there, but I personally think it kind of ruins the great atmosphere you've created with the colours and the composition of this otherwise very nice picture

I've only recently started to take some portraits, so I can use all

the advice I can get.
