Very nice portrait. It says all really.

Totally amazing shot. My jaw needs much tightening!

I like it. The path leads to the heavens. Really awesome capture, and the tones, the tones! How does one achieve such beauty?

The elements are well placed, and tells the story immediately. That's what photography is all about! Well done!

Alvin

I see all the right elements, person looking at camera, good framing depicting the scene. You got some good lighting as well, nice contrasty mix of mids and shadows. And the colors, nice and saturated but with good skin tone! Awesome job!

Alvin

I like the triangular shapes and the contrast between them. I do think it's underexposed though.

One wonders what is around the corner....

Also, the photo seems underexposed. Some levels would fix that right up I'll bet :)

Tawny Frogmouth :)

At a glance, I found this photo quite confusing. The greens somehow clash with the reds, and my eyes just wander all over the photo and can't seem to settle. The building behind further adds to my confusion. :-/

Alvin

I like the placement of the birds. The exposure seems overly dark though.

Alvin

Hi! I think this is a natural occurrence, I've seen them with different colored eyes quite a few times :)

Alvin

Wow. Just wow.

From the thumbnail, I thought this was an ambient occlusion pass! Sorry, being a bit nerdy here.

This is art.

Oh wow, did not realize they were flamingoes till I saw your title! I thought "gotta be another flower shot"

Very well done! Looks very ethereal, love the softness of it.

Alvin

I like how you use the negative space!

Very nice shot. Only critique I would say would be to push the grading, give it more contrast. I also wonder if cropped to square it could be a stronger composition.

Mrrr, I like how there are two curves, the light in the sky, and the curve made of grass....

i think the vignetting is a tad too strong for my taste.... else the photo is great!

Alvin

Beautiful! The color contrast is perfection.

Nice use of a fisheye! Love how you got the timing for the evening colors.

Alvin

Very simple, brings the message across. Also enjoy the strong colors and the negative space works well. The backlit petals are really nice!

Alvin

I laughed when I saw this.

Nothing to say, it's superb! I wish I had your skill!

I'm with Marc - I think this image doesn't work for me on a whole, but I can understand why it engages the eye. There's at least 3 points my eyes are draw to - the crab, the breaking waves, and the distant forests.

On a closer look, is this a composite? I'm detecting at least 5 separate images here. The scale of the water in the middle of the photo is of a fairly higher frequency compared to the patterns on the sand besides the crab. The sand grains in the center of the photo is also of a very different size compared to the high frequency waves. Plus the perspective of the foreground sand seems a little off compared to the midground water. Plus, if we are getting that beautiful crest of a wave - there is no cause to it as the rest of the ocean behind is placid. The wave itself is also of an emerald hue, which I doubt will happen in real life because you need bright bright light to get that kind of effect, whereas the background shows of as a very soft, filtered light.

Exposure wise, I think the waves themselves are underexposed - I'd imagine them taking up near pure white but on my monitor they are almost mid tones. Again, could be a disparity on calibration as well as you, the way the artist wants to represent this image.
