this nice image could be strengthened by cropping quite a bit from the top and right side; also cropping a bit from the bottom, and just enough from the left to eliminate the vertical orange part of the building.

Nadya, would cropping from the top just a bit,  down to the top of the squarish gray spot increase the effectiveness of this composition by subtly directing our attention  to the ice formation?

Concept and execution are masterful...very striking imagery

Yes, all of the oyster boats at appalachicola have the shack at the stern. Thanks for your comments.

thanks for the helpful comments, Nadya and Pierre!

one of my first serious tries at digital b&w, after years of shooting on tri-

x and tmy400

I'd like to see some detail in the person and in the foreground.

Square format is perfect. Dynamite colors!

Very good capture-the purple flowers dotting the foreground really make this pic work. 

Nice atmospheric b&w, but I'd like to see a bit more shadow detail.

A very nice image that could have been even nicer without the branch, sticks, etc. in foreground.

Good composition. An effective pairing of yin-yangish shapes.

different from the typical run of the mill stuff on pn...I like it and I have two suggestions: the craft or creature thing in the air at right might benefit from separation from the mountains in the distance...would seem less static if we could see sky between it and mountains. In addition, the object on ground at left needs better separation from background. Good work.

brite colored blouse good choice...pleasing portrait

needs more sparkle (contrast) in clouds, or even overall

nice, but wish spikey plant owned more of picture area (camera closer to it)

it could be selected for a jigsaw puzzle box art. having said that, a nice shot.

critique: get rid of the dayglo wheelchock

something about this makes me want to see a little more white or brightness in the cloud.

really quite good.

 So-called amateur photography has gotten so good, how does it get better?
