It's a nice drawing, but I wouldn't really consider it as a photograph due to the very heavy photoshopping/editing.

Elegent, simple, clean. I'd like to see a version with some more sharpening on the distant part of the leaf. I love the tonality of this image and the feelings it instills.

As usual, wonderful black and white work! The only slight criticism I would offer is that to the right of the last piece of wood the tonality of the sky does not match the rest of the image.....

Very well done! Sharp focus, good lighting and composition. Personally, I would have framed the starfish a bit farther to the left. Good job!

I really like this shot--the contrasts in color and subject matter are excellent. My only complaint is that the Nuns feet are cropped out--I'd like to see just a touch more foreground.

I live very close to Crater Lake, and so I can really appreciate what it took to get this shot. Well done!

It's pretty hard to create something original anymore, and you've succeeded in leaps and bounds--bravo!

Very nice capture! Oh how I miss my African Grey...some day when I stop traveling so much I will definitely get another one!

Wonderful shot! The sky looks a bit uneven--just me?

Love the model and her expression, great lighting, not so crazy about the background--too distracting with IMHO conflicting textures.

Why do you keep re-posting this same image over and over?

Original and well-executed. Thanks for sharing!

Very nicely done--I wouldn't change a thing! Tonal range, composition, lighting, all spot-on in my book!

Very nice! It's hard to come up with a memorable sunste/sunrise shot, and you've done just that!

Very nice Chuck! Folks who call for "more sharpness and detail" probably haven't done much underwater work....it's really hard to set up that tripod at 150'.......lol!

If this is not a composite image, then I like it very much!

Very nice capture! Personally, I'd crop out the tree on the right for better effect. But this is a refreshing shot captured in the wild as opposed to the many caged bird shots we see here.....

This is a nice image, however to me it highlights why I dislike composite/manipulated images so much--it's deceitful.

 

It leads us to believe that you witnessed this beautiful scene--maybe even visiting several times to get an idea of how sun and shadow moved across the scene, or even camping out there until the conditions were just right (as myself and many other landscape photographers have done) and then captured it at just the right moment--but that's not the case here.

 

To me it's like comparing images of Eagles that were taken in the wild to images taken of caged Eagles. They may appear equal aesthetically, but there is really no comparison when you factor in the degree of difficulty.

 

Don't get me wrong Kevin, I'm not picking on you personally, and I do note that you checked the box indicating that it might be manipulated. It's a pleasing image, but very much devalued in my mind because it's not real--kind of like the prom date with tissue in her bra......lol.

Very, very nice! Simple, clean, elegant--well done!

This is the type of manipulated image that I like--where you are actually CREATING an image, not lying by trying to fool us. Creative and well designed.

This is a nice shot, but way too dark to me. Would be interested in seeing different versions.

Magnificent! The blue tone really works well here. I'd also love to see a B&W version of this image.

I think that this could be a fine image, but for me the "digitization footprint" in the top right corner (by steps and wall) really ruins this shot. I'd love to see a re-do of this image.

The composition and lighting are wonderful for this image--it's really too bad that the corners are so soft. Nice capture!

Wonderful portrait! I see some very small black flecks on her face--not sure if that's dust or natural blemishes. I'd be curious to see a version of this with the right side cropped very close to her ear--to me the out-of-focus locks of hair detract rather than add to the image.
