Think that the colors need to be adjusted a little in photoshop. Looks like a little bit too green perhaps...

beautiful but lacks resolution

nice. Like the mountain, too. The tree on the far left would have made a nice piece of foreground! Taking the photo lower to the ground with a lower horizon would show less dark ground and more sky.

nice but it's difficult to know what I'm looking at. Is he fishing? relaxing? The title gives no clues.

nice use of color and tone. Good photoshop work.

colorful

Nice. LIke the aurora. Sky looks a little digitized, you should lower your compression or get a nicer camera!

nice colors and tones. Consider changing your angle so the waterline is parallel to the bottom of the frame.

Posing not bad, cut off the feet though. Try a more interesting background, like a playground.

Looks good but I wonder if you could emphasize the beautiful vaulted ceilings more if you had taken it from very low to the floor. A little smoke or dust in the air would also make the sunbeams more striking. Nice photo though!

Include a picture of the bridge with no charges detonated. Also you could try blending the pictures left to right into one using photoshop.

I wanted a floor line that was even with the bottom of the photo,

but that didn't show the garden well. Does the line of the floor

detract from the photo?

What feelings, if any, are evoked?

The exposure is during the day, about 10 am as I remember. I shot these on Bulb with various times. As I got more experience I think I overdid it on the fog here and the water would have looked better with shorter exposures, more texture and flow. Anyway, I didn't have much time as two surfers wearing bright orange decided to play by the ship a little after I was shooting. I also only had two days in Salinas, so I didn't have too many choices in how to do it.

Yeah, you can photoshop it, but I like the old fashioned way. Chefs

don't use cake mixes.

Something doesn't look right about the sharpness, especially the buildings in front of and behind the castle are quite sharp, but the castle itself isn't as sharp, and there is a big line where the background hill meets the foreground buildings, and the line around the castle is odd... It looks to me like at least a composite of two photos, especially the hill in the back with the great sky. I don't know, it's a nice composition, but there's something my eye doesn't believe.

I am not sure if this is a normal thing for elephants to do, or a

special thing I happened to catch. I liked the way that the

composition worked out, but is it special?

I disagree, I like the wood and lighting. We all see skulls with fog and blue lighting, to make them look scary, but the plain wood and the coins suggest a different atmosphere around these bones. I like how it is different.

I didn't notice the gun until you said it in the title. Maybe it would look more like she was travelling if she was at a boxcar. This kind of looks like a fuel car, though, so she kind of looks like a terrorist to me.

Need to be careful taking pictures of Wild Weiner Dogs in Nature. They often roam the plains in herds, and no one can escape a stampede of these majestic animals.

I agree that you shouldn't choose not to shoot often-taken shots. I thought bridges were pretty much off-limits for photos after Sept.11th, though. The composition is nice, but the colors look a bit strange. I think the one thing that stands out to me is the color of the sand, how it is brighter than the border of water. Looks like you did some curves adjustments to me... Also something else to look for is the two plumes of cloud coming up from the bridge in my opinion are distracting.

I like how you told us the true story! That's fantastic. The composition is nice, and the pastel colors are a nice contrast from the usual oversaturated tones you see around here.

Thanks for posting the original. I think that I like it better without the alterations, but I am sure there are others who prefer the altered state...
