  1. Beautiful work. I would be very proud of this. I like the way sand and sky appear, as well as the symmetry of the rings of fire. The only improvement I could suggest would be a little more space on the left. (I don't like the way the fire comes to the edge of the frame.) Over all, gorgeous work.

    Interesting. Like the color of the eyes and lips, I assume the eyes are also color-enhanced. The black print running over the face is an idea worth exploring, but it's not quite there yet. For instance, it still runs in very straight lines over the curves of her ears. Keep experimenting with it.Good luck.

    I think this is the most beautiful picture in your portfolio. The lighting flatters her body in a wonderful way. I also like to see her hands, which I think are very beautiful. I agree with Steve that more detail in the hair would be nice. I wonder why you cropped just below the top of her head? Beautiful model, beautiful lighting and photography.
  2. Good stuff. Captures the feeling of cold and isolation. The orange contrasts nicely with the gray of the sky and water. I suppose you show so much water and sky to put him in context, but I would have liked to see the subject fill more of the frame, and to see his eyes. I think a tighter crop around the man would be a more interesting treatment.

    Very nice, classic high key portrait. Simple background, good focus on the eyes, a subject at ease, with a face that speaks volumes. Very nice work.

    All the surroundings are quite dramatic and unusual, and are revealing something of the character, I think it would be improved if more attention was paid to the man. I would also like to see his eyes. Still it is a subject that drama, and promise.
  3. Very dramatic light. The foreground gives a sense of place. Have you experimented with different croppings? Perhaps including less grass in the foreground, or using a vertical cropping around the storm? Nice work.
  4. Captures a mood. The fact that the signs are not readable in some ways makes it more general, but takes away some of our context for understanding the scene. (probably a deliberate choice). Love the contrast between the hands tattoo and the anger. Very nice work.

    I like that you included the sign, to identify the place. Makes it feel stronger for me, somehow. The spread arms are almost a crucified posture. Good strong image of a too common sight.
  5. I realize you're working in difficult lighting, but the blurred face is very distracting to me, especially since other items in the picture are sharp, which are probably not the intended subject (e.g. guitar strap, print on shirt). It might work better if his whole body were in motion.

    I like the overall composition and framing. Perhaps there is more detail in the silhouetted region than my monitor allows me to see. I think more detail there would improve it for me. Also like the patterns in the sand under water in the foreground. Over all, quite lovely.

    I like it. It is without question a dramatic location in dramatic light. The yellows seem a bit washed out. Have you taken other photos of the same location? How would this look with a vertically cropping?

    Beginner photographer, my first experiment with dramatic lighting.

    This is unmanipulated, straight from the camera. A daffodil set in

    an unusual glass candle holder, lit from below. Single source of

    light.

     

    Automatic focusing and autoexposure. Camera hand held.

     

    Any and all honest critique greatly appreciated.
