    The Wedding Day

    Natural unposed shot. White steps in the background are not good for contrast. A much lower camera position would have gotten the darker part that is slightly vivible, as a great background. A touch of sun sidelighting on any part of her, would have added contrast and depth. Dont worry'bout the hand, you need all of her in the shot for the composition, which is strict and clear.

    I would..move to the right so that the tree tops are in the V of the mountains, for more balance.. tilt the camera down so that the right mountain top touches the top of the pix, for more foreground and more earthy feel... and wait till the sun comes out for more shadows, contrasts and drama..a little sleepy right now, and not misty enough for another mood.
  1. Superb, dynamic, contrasty mountain. Excellent exposure. Polarizer would have given a deeper blue sky for more drama. The tree seems to balance the mountain but at the same time detracts a little. I wonder how the compostion would have looked with tree out of focus, (f2.8?), to accentuate the subject mountain. Would be interesting to see one more shot for comparison, with the camera tilted down so that the top of the mountain touched the sky, much more shadow, for a more earthy feeling.

    Composition strict and clear. Front and back of shot should be more out of focus for added depth, and to accentuate just a few central flowers. Lacking the natural colors and textures of nature due to experimental digits. Film is still king for nature.

    Waterfall dynamics well captured with correct shutterspead, (125?) but could be one stop down for correct exposure of white water, and to add more balance and drama to the shot. The guys in the canoe could have been out of focus, as the main subject seems to be the falls.
  2. Excellent composition and black background. Digital lost the fine textures and natural colors that would have given 'life' to nature . F2.8 would have just given the main flower and immediate leaf focus, and thrown the rest of the pix much more out of focus, for added dimension. Bright side sun lighting would have added shadow for depth, and rear lighting would have been stunning. If it is sunlit, the digits didnt give us the contrasts.

    Superb film colors. Fabulous lighting and exposure. Perspective and camera position excellent. I would just crop off the end different-colored/lit wall on the right of the pix, to make the composition much more strict and clear.

    Composition strict and clear BUT..rear flowers detract from the subject, and should be out of focus... just a yellow white blur. If you dont have f2, they can be pushed or bent back. Background contrast excellent. Lighting could have been back, for a stunning result, or side, for more shadow for depth and dimension.

    Intersting composition. If I blank (crop) off all the sky above the 2 black window 'diamonds', losing the uninteresting blue sky, it becomes more strict and clear.

    Drab dead featureless digital clouds and dull green digital grass do not a nature shot make. Apart from that, the composition is neither strict nor clear. No direct, or behind sun, on the overcropped subject plant to bring it into prominence. Backlit would have been stunning, and that is where digital can get away with it. see photos4u.dk for ideas from a king of light and composition.

    Well captured. Good exposure. Backgound very noisy, would have been stunning if right out of focus, f2.8?. To give more dynanmics to the pix, the wild ducky should be at the extreme right of the pix, and have a little space on the left to fly across, OR a slight panning to show a blurred background, ..OR a slower shutter speed, that would have resulted in blur of the flapping wings, all indicating movement...now our ducky is just frozen in space.

    Lower features in the composition are interesting, stray petal top right detracts. Colors artificial digital. Nature's vibrancy calls out for film. Side lighting would have given shadow detail for contrast and dimension. Back lighting would have made it stuunning.

    Great composition, but poor lighting changes title to papyrus with rusty objects embedded. Ideally the background should have been out of focus, f1.4(?), and light on the keys. For a still life all that can be manipulated. It wont fly off.

    Colors drab digital. Digital clouds lack texture. First few feet foreground could be out of focus for added dimension, and a more relaxing composition.
  3. Natural unposed shot. Good background contrast/choice. Too much blank space on the left of the pix. Cropping off half of that, makes the composition more strict and clear. Sorely needs some side-sunlight to light up the faces to give depth, dimension and drama. See photos4u.dk, master of light and composí´©on.
  4. The in-focus, excellent-framing, close, upper branch detracts from the said parrot. Maybe one more shot with that branch as out-of-focus as the background would have made for a much clearer and stricter composition. The lighting and exposure, the perspective and camera position are all excellent. Ndege maridadi!

    Any larger and I'll be blinded, but... the exposure is excellent, sun is tele-bold, composition with much sky is ethereal, and final result is dramatic. lens flare is acceptable.

    Strict clear composition. Dynamic angles on the clouds match the dynamics of the worker. Beautiful cirrus clouds, (ice crystals at 30,000 feet, normally heralding an incoming weather front). Camera position excellent. Great exposure.

    The framing is excellent, and came out too well. That made the deer secondary, ie you have to look for them. If you shoot deer, you need a good tele with f2.8 at least, to put the background and /or foreground out of focus, for dimension and drama. Lighting was OK.
