AARON:

After 1.5 years, I just realised that I misunderstood your post. hehe...

Your idea was actually good, cropping the centre off a bit of that left hand side flower in the background to make it more even. I didn't think of that. I thought you wanted me to include the whole centre of the top flower - which I should've done. I'm not sure why I didn't include the whole flower of the top one, maybe there was something else behind the flower (object) or I was just totally careless. Thanks!

Barbu:

It's been awhile since I looked at this picture from last time. And I still think that I don't want a deeper DOF.

With more DOF, you'd see the dog's face right through and there would be less personal feeling, but from my eyes, this shallow DOF makes you look at the nose first, and then your eyes will be set on trying to find out more about the face/eyes of the dog, therefore you'd give more attention to the picture itself.

I think DOF like this gives it a different, more personal feeling. But of course that's just me though.

This is really nice. I love the shadow landed on the leaf itself.

This is only minor thing, but I think the leaf on the back is a too bright - easy fix with photoshop though.

Very beautiful image.

I wonder whether the jeans actually decrease this "nature" effect. I was thinking maybe either naked or some white clothing - but then it might look too cliche.

When I shot this bridge, I actually did it from the right hand side from the bottom of the bridge (since I walked from Circular Quay), but I guess you are not as lazy as I am and you walked a bit further to take the shot from the left? :)

From the right hand side, you can get some palm trees included in your picture. But I guess if it's windy, palm trees maybe not a good idea for night, long exposure shot. Or it might work to, I'm not sure - have to try it myself.

Albert.

I think the strength of this image is in the pose itself, not details. There is something weird/creepy feeling in the image. Maybe a slightly dark B&W version will add even creepier feel to it.

Albert.

I actually like the colour tone. My only input is probably the photo needs to be rotated just slightly (1.2 degree maybe?) counter clockwise.

Nice picture though.

Albert

This is a very good combination of pictures indeed. If you could make all the drops and focus on every slot as sharp and bold as the 1st one, you'd have even more beautiful picture.

But it's really good as it is already. Nice job !

Dillan: Yes, they sound better than they look like. I think the metal body and the sound, and the look overall really make it worth the asking price.

Carlo: Thanks! Make sure you remember to come back! :)

PS: I'd kill for your camera and lens! :)

This is nice shot indeed.

You know what, is there a chance you can re-do this shot?

Looking at this picture, an idea just came right away, why don't you try to do similar shot, but putting at least 2 models in there, therefore it will give you maybe a picture of 3 arms or legs hanging out from the tub.

I think it will really make a unique (if not slightly creepy) picture.

I wish I could do it, but I don't have the tub, the models and maybe the skills to do the shot. lol. Great picture by the way.

Albert.

Nice. Very original.

I like the framing too.

I think it would look even nicer with whole focus.

Albert.

Agree with previous comments. The pose is very natural, simple yet beautiful.

The lighting is just right too.
