Hello Donna, FWIW I would crop out the building in the background as it takes away from the solitude presented by the bench in the foreground and the unblemished snow. Even just to the edge of the tree so that the white part of the building was not competing with the bench.

Andreas, Very nice image with the mountains framing the fjord. I very much like the composition but think you need to add a little punch to the image through post processing. I am not sure what exactly as I would have to play with the image to see but a little more contrast for starters, maybe bring out a little of the green in the mountains with a little more saturation, lighten the shadows a little. If I could tell you exactly I would. Maybe a little more warmth to go with the overcast sky.

Excellent Capture. The b/w presentation really emphasizes the power of nature in this shot. Well Done

Hi Tracy,  I like your edited version better, but that is only my opinion.  It is a very nice composition either way and a pleasant scene and story that you have shared with us.  thanks

Hello Tracy, I like the subject and composition but on my monitor anyway the bridge and background seem rather flat and overexposed. I think the image would be helped by adding some contrast and by bringing down the exposure a little as well.

Hello Stanislav, I really like the out of focus background here. I think if you brightened up the white petals of the subject flower or just managed to create a little more contrast between it and the background the image would really pop.

Hello Dave, I am not a big fan of over saturated images but you have done a real nice job with this. The composition works for me and the color highlites it very well. Nice job.

Hello Tatiana, The browns of the shoreline really bring out the greens and blue of the sea and sky. I think it would have been more interesting to see a little more of the rocky cliff on the right of the image and a little less sky.

Any comments and or critiques are always appreciated. I am not sure

if the lower right is a good or bad element.

Beautiful image Camilo. I think you should move your name to either left or right as the two large rock structures almost frame it and lead my eye right to it.

Thank You Carol and Boeboe for taking the time to look and comment it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Radu.  Your comments and critiques are always appreciated.

Very cool shot!

Daylillies sure seem to get their fair share of photo ops and then

some here at photo.net. I have quite a collection in my garden and

they are often times the subject of my photos when I just want to

"play" with the camera. This very bright yellow flower with the green

throat really stands out as it almost has a fluorescent quality as

compared to all the other yellows. Thanks for looking. Comments and

critiques are always welcome.

Very Nice job Marco.  Colors, composition perspective all excellent.  I just wish the 2 sides of the yellow path were perfectly symmetrical. Same number of chairs, umbrellas, only seeing backs of chairs etc.  I think that would have put it over the top.

Really well done Greg. It is interesting that you chose to turn the flower sideways if you will. I like the dark background with the deep rich purple as it makes the eye really pop.

Really nice image. If you could just brighten up the front of the snail just a touch so that the real dark area between the head and the shell was a little more visible I think it would make the image even better. Nice work.

Mihai, My guess is that you were trying to pan with the horse and rider to show motion with a blurred background. The only problem is that the horse's behind is the only thing in focus and you really needed at least the rider in focus. Panning is very difficult to do well. Keep practicing.

Hello Richard, You have captured a nice smile and expression. On my monitor however it looks overexposed and in need of some post processing. I would suggest bringing down the exposure, adding some contrast and sharpening the image would improve the image quite a bit. The white balance could probably use a little tweaking as well but I would better be able to tell once the exposure was corrected. He sure looks like a happy guy.

Nice timing Frank. The one element that would most improve the image would be the players faces.

Patrick, A shot like this really needs to have the whole car. That the front is just clipped off really hurts.

You have a good concept here but there is no real focal point, My eye goes to the out of focus building in the background and not to the area in the foreground that is in focus. In my opinion the wheat in the foreground needs to be more prominent or the building in the background needs to be in focus and the focal point of the image.

Thank you for your comments Charles and Radu.  Your inputs are greatly appreciated as always.  After all that is the point of why I post for critiques.  Thanks again.

Hello Sheila, I really like your image. It is a shame that the car is there as it takes away from the image in IMHO.
