We took advantage of the last bit of fall color on our trip to Ohio.

This is our kid playing in the leaves at 3+ months. Any critique?

One minor issue is the sky at upper left. I'd probably clone it out

to be dark for a print.

Good DOF? I definitely wanted the focus on her, so the aperture was

as wide as possible with this lens. I cropped slightly off the left

and right, though this cuts out part of her veil. I didn't much care

for the veil as it is white and not obviously a veil in the original

anyway.

 

Anything I should change? All critiques are appreciated.

How's the crop? Lighting? saturation? My only complaint is the

imperfection in the grill, and possibly the shadow being cropped off

the left taillight. Thoughts? Thanks!

I'd like to see Evans (the person holding the child) cropped out a bit more on the top, almost all the way to the top of the child's head. The nose is distracting for me. I think the shoulder, however, is good use of negative space. It should not be cropped. Keep shooting!

It's quite good. YOu havea full tonal range. the only issue I have with it is the angle. It either needs to be at 90 degree angle or 45 (+-5) degree angle, not in between. Good stuff!

The scene certainly has potential. As is, it just seems like a "here are some sails" shot. Maybe you could try an up close shot, where the sail, instead of the sand, takes up the foreground space. Level the horizon, and chop it up into thirds; sail on bottom third, sand on middle third, sky in top third. just some thoughts. Keep shooting!

Ran this through the digital diffuser (blur -> overlay). Is it too

much? I thought this was just the right amount of saturation and

diffusion (glow).

Nice use of negative space at the top. I really like the color gradient. Personally, I'd like to see some foreground detail or crop off much of the darkness at the bottom.

I really like the "glow" of this image. I've just started experimenting with it myself. Makes for an ethereal feel, which fits with this image. It's ghostly. I'm not a big fan of the dramatic fade to black at the top, however. I might like to see the fade toned down or eliminated altogether.

I shot this guy at the ROT Rally (biker rally) in Austin, TX June 4.

There's a couple things I'm not so sure about with this photo. His

expession is one, though I like that he's not *just* looking

somewhere. He's in thought or he's got windburned lips or something.

Also, is the crop too tight? This is what came out of the camera,

but still, what's your feeling on it? Thanks!

Just looking for general suggestions. I personally like the way this

photo turned out. I like the converging lines effect here with the

clouds. The buildings seem very forbidding, and pointing to the

clouds, which seem to be coming up from behind rather than moving

across the sky. Any critiques are appreciated. Thanks!

I like the idea, but I think I would try to seperate the foreground bike from the background clutter. Maybe use a shallow depth of field? Maybe move to the right and take the photo angled down on the bike? The bright sign at the upper right is distracting. Good idea though!
