The foreground's soft focus and the right side limbs take too much away from this well composed scene. I think this has potential, maybe a re-shoot?
-
Its all there, but, the focus is taking away from an original image. I would make this spot for a return visit and really work on depth of field and tack sharp focus. Graceful framing keeps the viewers eyes circling. -
Please review, I Welcome all thoughts.

Very strong bold image, I just have difficulty with the very large © and signature. Let the work speak for you. -
Looks familiar, nice color ;) -
I like the brilliant colors here, but I am waving my hands to try and get that plant stem/ vine thingie out of the frame. I think you might have more success working on your composition, the elements are there, just find the correct POV and keep shooting. -
What a great moment in time. The position of both subjects is great. The overworking of the image is regrettable. This shot deserves more tonal range and balance. It becomes too muddy and looses my attention. All of the background elements are taking away from a classic parent child moment. -
Not to often do we get this type of opportunity. The angle of the ice and the ships rigging reinforce each other. I am sure the sky was complete overcast and the digital folks may encourage a bit of tweaking to punch up the red and to darken the sky. I think that may loose some of the feeling of cold this image expresses. It would be desirable to have the crew a little brighter, they seem to blend together a little.

The image has great potential. I think you captured the light perfectly. I am tempted to suggest cropping or re-framing the image in an exaggerated landscape format to lengthen the bridge. I enjoy the bridge taking the viewer from the known, right edge to the unknown disappearing int he distance.

Drying wood that has begun to turn a silvery color can make a fantastic subject for a black and white or in this case sepia and white image. I would hope for some darker tones to give the shot some tonal bottom. Also advancing the POV and filling the frame with the split wood might also be interesting. I like the quality of light captured here and the focus is tight. Try some adjustments to get a real dark tone, and try other shades of brown or black. -
I am wondering if this is the strongest orientation for this powerful image. I assume its a color image on a very monochromatic day. The ocher wave splash is the only strong indication of color, perhaps it could stand to be a BW image.

Oh, to have the chance to capture that expression! Her face is more than enough. All of the distractions don't help tell the story, her face is all you need. The darkness on the bears side of the image draws too much attention. This is candidate for some creative cropping. Your focus should be on her bright eyes, and not her hand. Keep taking pictures of this subject, she a natural. -
I don't want to be trivial but, you framed the image with the tree in the center, ok, interesting choice but then you take away from this strong composition and distract the view by the choice of a frame and then you selected to place your © signature on the lower right. I am also noticing a horizontal line where the gradd changes color almost at the bottom of the frame that also takes away from a strong initial idea. The simple image is enough, don't complicate such a strong idea.

David,
I find this a strong image, the colors are vibrant. It is challenging to see in B/W. I struggle with it like so many others. Glad to review any other work if requested. Keep shooting.
Regards

When the subject is bands of mountains in the smoke, fog, clouds or mist there can be no distractions. On my monitor I am picking up at least three small sky objects, two on the right side above the mountain and on top center. Please keep capturing these types of images and understand the fewer elements in an image the more scrutiny the viewers will apply. Keep shooting.

Thank you for not placing the turtle in the center of the frame. Enjoyable shot. -
I enjoy the space this shot expresses. I wonder if other framing ideas may also strengthen this shot. Consider reducing the amount of sky? Maybe framing to an exaggerated landscape format. -
This nice profile may have been stronger if the subject had chosen to look toward the sun. With the apparent low sun angle it might have made a stronger image.

Nice soft tone poem. I have been moving a white card up and down over the foreground grass to see if I might suggest a crop. I am leaning toward cropping. The small group of red trees makes this a much stronger picture and gives my eyes a place to go back to as I enjoy this image.
