Nice tone and pastel color harmonies.

Good to see you shooting again.

Mooooo... :-)

A wonderful picture of the clouds without doubt.

Lovely tones, color and mood. The one little flaw I see is the moon is blown out. If you had taken a second shot exposed properly for the moon, you could have dropped the moon into the frame in Photoshop making the best possible image . Some people would feel this is cheating but I don't.

This is almost a great image. The wonderful monochromatic color harmony is muted by the overly dark pool on the left. I took the liberty of masking it and adjust the levels 1/2 stop lighter to preserve the wonderful harmonies most of the image has. PS, the white PN background makes this a tough shot to see well as usual.

This image has some nice monochromatic color harmonies, but the composition falls short.

 

My eye sees the drift on the left and then wanders.

Where to next, the right tree, the far trees?

The sky on the upper left is dead space all by itself.

A lovely contrast between the hard form and tones of the feather and the softness of the sky. Well done!

Excellent lighting, tone and color.

A lovely tree shot.

A fresh look at this often photographed location in MV.

I feel this shot has wonderful tonalities and color.

However the tree showing on the far left does not serve to frame the shot and is distracting. With it removed the shot is a solid 9 aesthetically.

Nice composition and mood.

I wished you had used a finer grain film.

The golf ball size grain of the gold 100 shows in the tonality even on a web image.

Nice composition and color contrast.

I wish the butterfly had his wings fully open though. It would have made it even better.

IMO the pattern of the flock fights the blue sky for the center of focus. A great wildlife shot has the subjects mesh in harmony with there surroundings.

This shot does not have this quality.

for an example.

A lovely mood is created by the monochromatic color harmony and tonalities. Well done!

A lovely perspective.

I agree that a black frame would give the shot more punch.

While this photo is aesthetically appealing as an abstract, not seeing the head of the 2d flamingo makes it flawed as a wildlife shot. Eye contact IMO is very important in connecting with wildlife in this type of shot.

I love the story here. The contrail clouds left as jets rush overhead, the dead lie in the ground only able to watch! Great.

 

Aesthetically I think the tombstone with cross on the right could have been positioned better. The visual flow is a tad choppy where it sits.

Wonderful use of the diagonal to lead our eyes.

Wonderful tone and texture!

I don't feel this is in the same league with some of your other extraordinary photos.

A wonderfully executed silhouette shot.

Lovely tone and color, but very little form and composition. An average sunset shot.

The cost of fertilizer must be getting out of hand.

Nice monochromatic color harmony and tone here, but the moon is just a little too big to be believable.

Perhaps you should have used a 300mm lens on it.

Very nice composition and tone.

IMO it would be even better if the grey level was shifted to getter a more contrasty and slightly darker image.

I think this image has good potential.

It would benefit from a little cropping on the weak left side and a burning in of the tones in the sky.

I feel the bottom 1/2 of this image has strong light and tone. The 1/4 is good. The top 1/4 is weak.

IMO it would benifit from cropping out some of the top.
