Manages to look medieval and futuristic at the same time. Very nicely composed. I particularly like how much of the fire you included and your decision to take the shot from this angle. The glow on the shields and all the smoke shows that the fire is bigger than we see directly. It's an image that asks questions and also can easily become a metaphor. Well done!

hits all the right notes perfectly. excellent dynamic range. -
I guess you could have a variety of responses to this image, but what it immediately communicates to me -- with the ruined building, depressing sky, barren earth, stark antenna and frantically screaming thin children -- is this: RAGE AT NO FUTURE.
Very strong image. (I'm sure you could sell it as an album cover too.)

Nicely compressed space shows a reflective young girl and the world she reflects upon. Good use of colors and composition and depth of field. -
I pass by most pet photos, but this one--you're right--that's one happy dog on a fine day. So well taken! You might want to consider using a clone tool to get rid of the black zone in the upper right. Usually I don't volunteer tweaks, but this one would focus the image more.

Love this quirky image. Doesn't come off as heavily manipulated. By blocking her face partially, you've allowed her personality to come through more forcefully than it might have. Because of her jacket, it doesn't look like summer wind, but rather a wind that is turning away from summer into the early precision of autumn coolness. So you might want to reconsider the title. Great shot!

Usually I don't critique sunsets in harbors because they are so often so literal there is nothing left to say (or feel). You just say, "Well that's nice" and move on.
But this is on another order of magnitude. You've made the water look like wet liquid and you've captured the sky full of weather and circumstance and the sunset promises a good tomorrow. Everything works. A nice element is the ramp in front of the sunset and, of course, Sheila & Ivy, at labor, heading out to the lobster boxes. Wonderful, wonderful picture.

This is a really great shot. Lots of impressions. Taking down instruction from Above? Logging sins? A few more confessions and he'll have enough material for a screenplay? I don't mind the bright head, as it adds to the darkness and the white collar.

Nothing wrong with that sun. Afterall, the woman seems to be recoiling from it, so it should seem strong. Great shot. -
Ignore Dale's rude and non-instructive generality. Check out his portfolio before you take his remarks to heart. I like your image and the way you've expressed a metamorphosis from the physical to the spiritual. While it is not immediately clear that this is a bird, the energy and intention of flight is felt and perhaps that works on the viewer better than a more literal (less blurry) version. The quote works too, but something in your own words would work equally as well. -
great choice of motion and arrangement. The image is composed as a circle laying flat, so it adds to the depth. The blur migrates the image toward the feeling underneath the Wildebeest forms in motion. Strong, tough, fast, agile, surefooted. Not hard to see how cave painting came about from such sightings. -
This is an excellent "dog's life" shot and one you should get published. It is composed so economically the initial impact is very strong and immediate. Very well done! Pass this one around, it deserves to be seen more. -
good image of perspective, texture, shape, color, hue, saturation and progression. I don't mind the blown yellow wall toward the top, as it explains the strong edges on the shadows toward the bottom (the right triangle along the left border). Emotionally, it gives me a feeling for the dwellings of man taken as a category. There is a window, slightly open at the bottom, an arch further up on the left and finally, a well directed turquoise door at the top. The gate at the bottom and at the top is also a nice harmonic.

Two jobs involving mortality. -
Nice, hovers between a jazz abstract and a history of violence. -
Beautiful in a dreamlike, idealized way. I'm betting it was equally vivid without the blur. -
The form of this image is very powerful, simple and catching. The content (interpretation of form) is even better. The association of a tethered balloon is that it will rise if released. The dominant mood line is "rising", due to the tent frame. The sky is the destination. So I'm feeling a lot of potential energy just bursting to go kinetic. -
Just to add to my comment about the rider out of frame and why I like it: the viewer has to contribute his imagination a bit here, and that is always a good thing.
-
Beautiful but could use a bit more contrast or latitude to bring out the far ridge line a bit more and to dramatize the vertical light just beyond the foreground.
-
Great shot. Having the rider out of frame like that punches up the drama and turns it into a high-risk aerial act.
-
I like the darkness. It adds to the ethereal nature of the ascetic spirit and the loft of pose of the monk's demeanor. He is tied less to the physical world than many other people could even comprehend. You got a lot in focus in the small f2.8 window. Luck happens to those who work hard.

I'm a sucker for this kind of collage, though it does look like a photo-real acrylic at a mid-size gallery. Suggest you do a series of "things falling from the top frame" that would add impact to each individual picture and brand you in the public's eye. Really think your line "The Return of Old Yeller" works best for this picture.

I agree with Julie's take, except the foot works for me, as it shows him to be an average, casual guy caught in the mesmerizing slack of a casino. Technically, the glow both from the machines and reflected on the body wonderfully supports the emotional impact this image delivers.
