Very nice, I like your choice of a fast shutter speed in this, the water looks excellent.

I'd reeeeaallly love to see this in black & white. It's a great photo but in candid's and street photos I always love to see them in black & white.

Wow, I love the steam/mist rising from the hill. Not to mention the toning is just as good as the saturation.

Nice subject, but you made one major mistake. The girl's eyes are Out of Focus. Rule of thumb: Always focus on the eyes when they are as visible as in this shot.

Could've been composed better (not putting the subject in the direct center of the frame. But the exposure is excellent.

It's white around the person's head because of the use of Shadow/Highlight to correct his dark face.

"Lord of the Rings Style" says my little brother.

I think the mist in this photo does give it that 'mysterious' feel, and the waterfall in the bottom definitely adds to the composition of the photo.

Hmmm... I think you really should've focused on the girl's eyes and/or stopped down the aperture to get both the flowers and the eyes sharp. But remember, always focus on the eyes.

The photoshopping is far from subtle, I could tell even from the thumbnail.

Great Pic. That thing would scare me to death, I hate fish.

The first thing I thought of when looking at this photo was the Avian Flu... but this guy isn't where a biological spacesuit thing.

I think the 2nd stick helps you realise that there's actually a game going on, if you cloned out the stick, then it may lead the viewer to think it's only him which completely changes the story.

Also, the kids helmet reminds me so much of the little comics of the minor hockey player, I can't remember his name, but I've seen them so many times through my 9 years of minor hockey and this was definitely a refresher.

Beautiful mountains, beautiful colors, and the silhouetted trees in the foreground look pretty good also. I love the sky.

This is awesome, I love the expression on the squirrel's face. I got some photos of a squirrel a couple days ago, I was standing 6 feet away with a 28-105mm lens on my D30 (160mm with 1.6x crop), they turned out Ok but not as close as this. Excellent Photo.

3 legs and glasses! What a unique dog. But, great exposure on this, the top of the head is a bit overexposed but it's not very noticeable.

This is an excellent photo, the only thing I could see that'd be an improvement would just be to have a great DOF to see the goldfish clearly. But this photo is different than most wildlife shots in the way that it's not just a photo of the animal alone or even just the animal's head, this photo tells a story because you included the scene, and for that I'm giving you a 7 for originality, very nice shot.

Wow, this is great, I love the effect the bright window gives on the image, the only thing that gets me though is that it seems slanted to the left a tiny bit. But other than that, the tone and shadows in this image make it incredible.

^^ I don't think people inject stuff into their face.

April 22, 2004

I love this, it almost looks as if you're looking up at the person from underground... some.. magical way? :P Excellent shot.

I love how the baby is looking up at the camera, very cool.

^ It's better this way. It's boring to see just the rider in the photo, this way you can see what's going on, where he is, what he's hitting etc. etc.

By the way, that landing looks pretty flat. Love the pic though.

April 7, 2004

Wow, such a beautiful exposure. Great composition and colors, I love it.

MMmm... greeeen. I love this, the water droplets look great as does the black areas around the leaf. The one thing I don't like is the blurry leaf section up in the top left of the leaf, other than that it's excellent. It almost looks like your normal leaf but the silhouette of thumbs holding it, it's great.

Very nice photo. When I was in Prince Rupert, B.C. for Christmas, my uncle and I went out to find some stuff to take photos of. When we were out at a tugboat place there was a blue heron circling above us, looking on land on "his spot" which was a log in between the dock and the land, it was the perfect opportunity for a photo, unfortunately it saw us there and didn't land after all. But yeah, you're lucky this one was on ground, and you got an excellent photo away too.
