John:

I like it. You may have a pretty good portrait of the third girl who is looking at you too. You might try cropping her out of the larger image, and post her as another photo.

Regards. Paul

Pavel:

I really like what you did here. It actually looks like a fine art painting. Very Nicely Done.

Regards. Paul

Gregory & Verena:

Very Nicely Done. Very Sharp. If I had to make one critical remark it would be that I "Might" add just a bit of brightness to it. However, It would get an 8 of 10 from me if I was grading it.

Very Nicely Done. Very Sharp. Good Depth of Field, Color, Brightness, and Contrast. Thanks for Sharing. Cheers. Paul

Madeleine:

You have some beautiful work in your portfolio. You are obviously very skilled at post processing. However, I would make a few minor adjustments to this image. I would reduce the sky by about 1/3, and I would brighten the little house in the right corner. Otherwise Very Nicely Done.

Regards. Paul

Very Nicely Done. Beautiful Composition. Love the Bold Colors.

Very Nicely Done. Love the texture.

David: Nice shot. However, I think the photo would have benefited from a wider crop, especially at the top. And it could be a bit sharper. Regards. Paul

Eliseo:  I like this photograph. However, I would square up the Vertical lines of the buildings. It is an easy fix in PhotoShop. Regards. Paul

Jan: I like this shot very much. However, I would make a minor change. I would crop the top about 10% to eliminate the stripe of difference in texture, and color. Other than that. Nicely Done. Paul

What a great shot! The only thing I might be inclined to try, is brighten it up just a bit. And I might also dodge the face just a little. But that is just nit picking. This shot is worth a lot of money. But if you are ever recognized by him in another crowd,,,he will have you your legs broken, by some guy named Vito.

Nicely done. However, as good as her legs are, the hair hanging down over the gas tank of the motorcycle, creates a distraction. I would like to see the shot without the hair. If you crop the hair out, I fear you will ruin the good elements of the photo. So, you might want to do a re-shoot. It will give you an opportunity to call her again. That is definitely a good thing.

Montgomery:

 

I like the pose, and the tight crop. However, If you have any post processing software, like PhotoShop,,,I would tweak the color a bit. I think it is a little bit too blue. Give it a try, and see what the changes do to the flesh tones. But then,,,,,It may be My Monitor. That is the only thing that prevented me from rating it a 6/6.

 

Regards,

 

Paul

Clive:

 

Nice shot of Downtown Houston. There is one element, that I would "Try" to remove. I am not sure that it could be done. BUT,,,I would "Try" to clone out the cable in the upper right corner of the frame. Cloning it out of the sky, is no problem. Cloning it out of the building, would be a challenge. But I think it is possible. In my opinion, it would be worth the effort.

 

Regards,

I am a "Minimalist" as well. I like this photo very much. I like the texture. Don't change it. I would not do anything except possibly jack up the colors, brightness, and contrast in PS Adjustment/Curves. And I think I would clone out the small gray strip in the bottom black triangle.

Sundee:

 

If you compressed this image from a larger, higher resolution, version for posting here, you can crop at will. However, when I saved your photo, and went to PS to give it a try, it looks like there isn't much you can do, if this is the original. Your image will pix out, and the resolution will fall off, to the point that you won't be satisfied with it. I like the shot as it is, except, as was previously mentioned, the exposure could be tweaked a bit.The girl is beautiful. That being said...It is probably pretty difficult to get a bas shot of her.

Breeding Plumage of the Great Egret. When they put on their formal attire, they are spectacular.

And,You did. Congratulations. This is a incredible photograph. Beautiful model, beautiful, very tasteful pose,beautifully captured,

John:

 

I am not going to tell you that this is not art. It may be. However, I hope you don't have to explain to a judge why you think it is. This is pushing the limits a bit. If you are not aware of that,...you are being foolhardy.

 

I wish I could do this sort of work. I am a PS idiot.

Beautiful model, Beautiful skin, Beautiful pose, Beautiful lighting. I don't know how it could be any better.

Amazing photo. I don't know how it could be any better.

Get yourself a good field guide. I am NOT a Birder, but I DO know a little about birds. This shot is of a Falcon. The Birders will tear you apart, and feed your remains to the Vultures. Other than that, it is a nice shot of a Falcon.

I really like this shot. You should try to sell it to a formal wear company

What a Great Shot! You Captued Her Joy, and Excitement.
