The out of focus building in the background is very distracting. I'd either change your point of focus to the building from the railing, or shrink your aperature to get more of the entire composition in focus.

Nice work. I really like the colours a lot.

If I were you, I'd put a reflector on the other side to bounce some of the light back. As it stands, the right side of the picture is too dark.

I would zoom or crop a little tighter to the rocks, so that the extremely bright sunlight in the center of the frame was removed.

Well, the first question I have is "What is the subject?" I think that maybe I would choose one thing to focus on in this picture...maybe the red on the leaves on the left side of the frame, or the water itself. Either way, I would crop down the top to remove the swatch of white sky, because it is distracting.

It's a little dark, and the interesting section is the red, I would crop tightly down to that area.

Beautiful sunset. I would consider cropping the right side so that the plank in the water comes directly out of the corner.

October 30, 2003

Very nice placement of the swan in the frame.

October 30, 2003

Very nice. I think I might crop down the top so that the grey rock on the right touches the top of the frame.

October 30, 2003

Very nice use of the light and the fence.

Just a bit too fuzzy.

Has a very "Galen Rowell" feel to it. The only thing I might have done differently was step just a couple of feet to the right, so that the branches of the close tree didn't touch each other in the silouette.

Yeah, that is definitely cool. Very interesting subject matter, and you captured it excellently.

I like the angle too. It makes it feel like the woman and the child are almost even in importance, and that the woman has to work to keep up with the child. The reflections are excellent as well.

I like this a lot. I think the balance of clipping off the corner of both the butterfly and the photo really works. It could have used a slightly smaller f/stop so that the entire butterfly was in focus.

The colour tones are excellent. I agree that I would move the frame so that the center sprocket is either in the upper left golden mean point.

His face seems a little dark, although that may be my monitor...

July 10, 2003

Nice. Only issue I have is the change in color of the background near the top.

The message and the execution of the foreground are excellent.

July 10, 2003

I really like the way the shadow adds weight to the bottom of the frame. Nicely done.

July 10, 2003

is is very cool. It almost looks like a close up of steaming skin...very alien.

I do like the desaturation. The feeling of age is very appropriate for a subject matter like this one.

July 9, 2003

Very industrial. To me, the shaft in the center brings the whole thing together nicely.

July 9, 2003

Again, very nice. It looks like the foreground is just a touch out of focus, but that's a very nit-picky criticism. I'd be very happy to have taken this shot.

July 9, 2003

Well, I think I would prefer the barn to be in focus, but I do agree that the out of focus leaves in the foreground detract from the shot. I like the placement of the bee, and the colours are really nice.
