When I blank off the window, that was necassary for the superb soft sidelighting, the model is accentuated. She doesnt need the crumbly window for contrast, as she is already a full composition with dress etc. Excellent exposure.
-
Didnt really notice the hands..but... the lighting could have been softer, say from a window on the side, for dimension and contrasts. The pose is contrived.. staring at the camera. She could have been looking at her 'hands'. -

Moon could have been a bit more dramatic, using at least a 200mm lens. As starlike as it is, now, it could have been left out and the shot taken in vertical format. The right side of the pix would then be the end of the bridge, and.. more canoes coming into the foreground, maybe out of focus to add dimension. Spot on exposure, super lighting.

Mid horizon boring. Camera tilted down till the top of the spires touch the top of the pix, and you would have then got in all the reflections, and.. obtained a more earthy shot. Exposure is super, composition is strict and clear.

Fun abstract result. Made to look dynamic with simply a zoom! Exposure came out spot on. Good balance of light and dark in the shot.

The embroided tablecloth takes attention away from the eggs. The background should have been tidied up, with the excess cloth folded out of the way. The lighting and exposure are good. Framing is tight and the composition is strict and clear. -
Beautiful composition. Getting closer, but this shot still cant mach a fuji velvia or agfa, for vibrant natural colors and more contrasts from shadow to sunlit. Digital clouds still lack texture. For the price of this experimental- digital camera body alone, one could have gotten a film camera, superior-to-canon optics ie zeiss, voigtlander, and a hundred rolls of natural color and texture films. -
The background buildings slightly out of focus would have accentuated the canoe and added more dimension. Different sun position would have given more dimension and added interesting shadow on the beach. With such a wiiiide angle lens, getting even closer to the canoe would have made it a more dramatic shot. Exposure spot on. Composition strict and clear. Beautiful sky.

For close up nature work you need a macro lens, and at least f2.8, and film for natural color and vibrant texture. Tamron 100mm macro f2.8 is superb and affordable. Fuji and agfa make film! And a tripod so you can compose and move the leaves around for thebest effect. Here just the right leaves, shot closer, with all the rest out of focus, (f2.8 or better), would have been sufficient for a strict composition. Sunlight through the dew would have been stunning. -
Too much detail, and not enough detail, Jon. With the camera on tripod, you have time to compose. The back, distracting white flower? should have been moved out of the frame. The background and some of the further leaves should be more out of focus. You need f2.8 or better and macro, if you gonna shoot closeup flowers. Tamron 100mm is superb and affordable. Side (or rear) sunlight is missing. That would have added dimension and vibrancy to the shot. Film would have given natural colors and believable texures.

The xposure is good, and there is a pleasant balance of dark and light.As the prominent foreground pillar is not the subject, we can safely blank-off, (crop) the left third of the photo, (and... all below the models feet). Then the composition becomes strict and clear. If the model belonged to the photographer, the head needed to be raised some, and be sunlit. -

Great capture. Backlighting thru the steam would have made it stunning. Background out-of-focus would have added dimension, f4 or better. -
Great background contrast and focus effect. Top left rear petals should have been moved out of the photo for a more strict composition. Lighting flat, needed some sunlit highlights, especially on the water droplets. Either camera shake from missing tripod, or lack of top optics and film, have lost fine textures and contrasts, that would have given life and vibrancy to this nature shot.
-
Stunning colors that only film, with better optics, can gice us together Poor digiheads wont find a program to bring this vibrancy to a nature shot. The water is well captured to give movement,1/120sec?. To accentuate the rapids, and rich rear scenery, and add more dimension to the shot the foreground could have been right out of focus, for a soft blur of color. Exposure, perspective, camera posn, compmposiztion clarity are all... spot on! -
To improve dimension, some direct side-sunlight would have also brightened this up. If the sun was on it, the digits didnt, as usual, capture the fine contrasts ot textures. Everything being in focus makes the composition more of a catalogue shot rather than an 'interesting' photo. As all the stuff is on the same plane, one would need f2, or better, to soften some of the details further from the lens. The background is excellent as is the perspective and camera posn.

I bet the electronics on the old one hardly ever fail. I have heard of several new ones being flatbedded back to the garage due to the computor saying. I dont want to work today. Actually all new cars have that nightmare, including mercs and bimmers. That why I drive an 89 merc and will keep it till its obsolete due hydogen, which BTW, was already patented in 1935, Garrett, USA !!! Re the photo, As the sun is shining in the field behind, I would have driven the old one, and towed the new one there, for highlights, contrasts, life. As shot here, background should have been out of focus, f4 or better, to accentuate the cars and give more dimensoiion to the shot.

Placing the Volkswagon at the extreme right of the pix would have added the effect of motion. Near the middle looks like the engine broke down, and all is stationary. Cropping off half of the foreground, would have made it a more ethereal and dramatic shot. Great capture. Stunning lighting and exposure. Camera position and perspective superb. -
Agree with above comment.
