It looks over-saturated to me. The leaf is positively fluorescent.

That has got to be the strangest bug I've ever seen.

The shot is good, but the fore and background on the left are distracting.

August 22, 2005

Genuinely amazing. I can't image how you got this one. Can you give some details?

August 22, 2005

Excellent shot. What is the location?

August 22, 2005

I would crop this vertically to include only the plane on the left. I think this will make a much more striking image. Also, the picture looks a bit light on my screen.

August 22, 2005

I like this very much. I just wish I could see it bigger.

August 22, 2005

This is a beautiful shot. The only nit-picking suggestion I have is that there is a tiny hotspot in the upper part of the frame above the mountain peak. It is a little bit distracting and can easily be taken out.

August 22, 2005

Great shot. What is it a reflection of?

August 22, 2005

Beautiful color and quality of light. Well done. Can you describe how you did the lighting? Thanks!

I'm not sure if you intended it, but I think you did from the title: this is a funny picture. It is as if the two arms of a monster plant are about to crush the crane.

Good shot. I'd crop out some of the empty blue sky, though.

I think this is your best deer shot. I have two suggestions: Crop the right-hand side to make a vertical framing. Also, you can digitally put a little highlight in the deer's eye to make it look more alive.

Sorry, it was Oliver M. who made the comments I was agreeing with.

I agree with Giuseppe: the foreground and background don't work together well. I found myself looking at one or the other in a disjointed way. I'd cut it into two pictures. I think there are other shots in your excellent Scottish Landscapes folder that are more compelling.

Nice color and exposure.

It would be better if the background was blurred. You can do this with GIMP or Photoshop or whatever.

A very dramatic shot. I think it is weakened by the bright water at the bottom of the frame. Consider cropping or burning in that part.

December 28, 2004

Excellent job. It really looks like a painting. I can't think of anything that could be improved.

December 21, 2004

I'm not sure what it is, but I like it. I think it would be improved by cropping the dark part on the left.

December 21, 2004

Nice. The subdued colors work well, as does the horizontal composition. Is this a crop or a composite of several photos?

December 21, 2004

Very effective diagonal composition. I particularly like the curve of the lizard's tail.

Suggestion: the background is distracting because it is too bright and sharp. You can fix this with GIMP or photoshop.

December 21, 2004

A pretty shot with good color, but I for one find the lighting of the flower rather flat. It looks like head-on flash.

December 20, 2004

Very nice. I wonder if it would be better if it was blurred? It has a creamy/dreamy feel, which might be enhanced by soft focus.

December 20, 2004

I agree about the front lighting. Also, the crop seems too tight on the sides and not tight enough on the top. That said, it is still a very nice result.

December 20, 2004

Great shot. The layers from dark at the bottom to light at the top gives it a very three-dimensional look.

Two suggestions: 1. clone out the porch lights (or whatever they are), since they are distracting.

2. Cutting down the neighbor's tree will be easier and quicker than extending your balcony, or trying to remove it in postprocessing. :) Seriously though, you might be better off including more of the tree so it looks like part of the picture instead of an intrusion.

December 20, 2004

Good exposure. (Snow isn't easy.) I also like the sense of depth. However, the branch at the top detracts from the photo. You can probably remove it with GIMP, photoshop, etc.
