dfa photo

very nice pose

intriguing photo; recommend cropping top and right sides for more dramatic effect

a very touching and beautiful duo shot (or should I say trio); nice settting with beach and rocks in the backdrop; to make the photo more dramatic I would recommend having one of the figures look up (either at the other or at the viewer); I also recommend having the man place both hands on the woman's hands or womb to complement her two hands)

a beautiful b&w head shot with a dramatic hand gesture to add life and action; recommend raising the head slightly to give more focus and some light to the eyes

(by the way I love Fuji Fine Pix cameras); this is a very nice head shot set in dramatic lighting; for future head shots like this, I would recommend turning the face slightly towards the light source (lamp in this photo) to get more direct light onto the face; placing the figure closer to the lamp would also make it more dramatic and fill the empty gap between lamp and face

a very graceful and beautiful head shot; very nice pose, especially with the prominence of the hands in a very graceful gesture; top portion of the photo is distracting and mainly empty space; the photo would work better as a tightly cropped head shot including the elbows and a slight portion of the piano; for future head shots, recommend raising the eyes slightly to allow for more light to highlight the eyes

great classical portrait; very graceful pose; beautiful lighting and great tonal quality

dramatic subject matter, but use of flash does not allow enough contrast between the skeleton and the tree

very beautiful shot, well-cropped, excellent angle on the shoe; blurring of shoe in the foreground looks distorted; recommend some blurring of pine cone ornament to draw more attention to the shoe in the foreground

excellent outdoor shot and use of high contrast

good subject matter; but tighter cropping of left side would give more emphasis to the sea and shore; a different angle, such as looking over the fence more would make the image more dramatic as well

very nice view of boat with landscape; recommend lightening the mountains and sky to give more depth of field

very nice subject matter, especially with close-up of figure in foreground drawing attention to the approaching sunrise in the center; recommend lightening the figure a little

nice portrait study and angle; recommend sharpening the features of the face to make it stand out more

tint works well for buildings but not for sky; recommend lighting the sky a bit

very beautiful wildlife image with clear sharp focus and blurring of background

very nice contrast between Big Ben and the red bus

good nature/wildlife shot; recommend zooming in on the bird more to give sharper focus to the image

nice view of river and falls but the tree trunk dominates the image too much; recommend tighter cropping of tree (or blurring of tree) to give more prominence to falls

nice creative use of shadow; recommend just focusing the shadow image on one background object (plain off-white wall) rather than two competing wall surfaces to make the contrast more dramatic

nice creative use of fence with reflection; I recommend doubling the length of the reflected fence to give more balance and sense of a double pattern to the image

nice creative image, but the chain fence competes too much with the figure of the walking woman

nice use of diagonal line across the rectangular frame, and nice use of color, but no clear focal point to the image

very nice use of shadow on a bright background image

stunning image with great lighting and tonal quality and contrast; focus on foreground rocks helps move viewer's eye from center to right and back to center again
