Timing is everything,--as well as having the right camera/lens at the ready. Super job! next time (to make it better), have the whale do this in front of a setting sun...

I know a lot of work went into this shot. Great expression with the kitten. The splash of color makes the shot!

Outstanding example of contrasts and juxtaposition. Super!

The difficulty in capturing lightning at the right moment cannot be overstated. You have captured the peak moment while at the same time have a marvelous composition. The use of a sepia tone is the final effective step to a first rate image. Nicely done.

A nice shot,--would have liked it larger.

Many of the early digital cameras were designed without any sort of IR filter. As a result, they have a better response to IR than current models that have an IR filter just ahead of the sensor. Shot with just the 093 IR filter by B+W.

Again with this shot, you need a higher shutter speed to capture the action. Your focus may be off as well, or you have moved the camera during the shot.

Be considerate and resize your stuff.

Ever heard of RESIZING your photograph prior to submission? Way too large. Go with something on the order of 12 inches wide with 72 DPI.

If you had scaled the moon down in size abit more it would be more believable. Otherwise, nice scene.

The most important 'modification' you can make now is to resize these images. Otherwise you have to scroll back and forth to see it.

Way too big a submission. Resize it to something like 11 inches wide, at 72dpi. Lots of color fringing (mark of a cheap lens) on this shot. Look at the red fringing along the front vertical columns.

Just the right blending of contrast for an excellent photograph.

Nice work blending in the PSed background. Better lighting on the aircraft made this come out so well. Here's one of my better aircraft without any alteration:

You have a very strong composition here. I guess I'll need to head up to Yellowstone next! Thanks for sharing this.

emil,--I was quite surprised by the closeness of these images, but you clearly have your own style of imagery! If you get the chance, try to find a copy of The New Projection Control by William Mortensen (©1942) by Camera Craft Publishing Company, SF. Take a look at page 95. --Dan

Looks like you got your inspiration from William Mortensen's "Fear" almost entirely. Was that your guide?

Very nice composition, good work with filtration, but generally too fuzzy to be commercially useful.

Steven is absolutely right,--one critic can't seem to produce anything this fine but puts it down. I think it looks great!

A wonderfully fresh view of San Francisco.

Fuzzy, and too small. If you're going to submit an image for analysis, make it of a suitable size for it to be seen for it's pros and cons. I personally find the tree too close to the center. Sometimes that's fine when the tree is the sole subject, but your wide angle suggests that you're emphasizing the sky and foreground as well. Sorry.
