I have admired this image for quite some time now (along with many other images in your portfolio) and think this POW (photo of the week - not prisoner of war) is most deserving! You work with a darker and more monotone color palette than most people who use color film, and it gives a great signature to your work. -
In gerneral i like the shot. but the polarization effect is (at least in my opinion) way too severe. Also, a perfectly blue sky isn't very interesting and at least in my opinion shouldn't be shown off too much (it works sometimes but not here). Thus, i propose cropping the image to a perfect square (see attached)...

I like the shot. These "dots of red" clearly are the place your eye goes to first, and since they are separated from one another i would think there should be more detail visible in each of them (most likely due to them being larger in the frame), especially the second from the right, or you could have a "sea of flowers" so the detail doesn't matter as much. Of course the detail might be there in the larger file...

ah, the last of a dead breed - the air cooled Porsche... this saddens me.

for me the flare is what makes this picture great (or is it photoshoped in)... you should consider trying to sell this to Daimler-Chrysler... -
great colors, and a beautiful image, but i can't help but think that it would look better with the bottom quarter cropped off... the rock on the bottom left seems too distracting to me.

Zim Zalla Bim! Dust be gone.

This is one of my favorites of your photos. Although the boat is unrealistically small, it works well here (in my view). You really know how to take great people pics with wide angles.

This photograph is superb, much like the rest of your first class portfolio. The intersecting diagonal lines of the clouds and the clothes lines lead you right to the monastery. I like it a lot. If i were to criticize something, and I need to look hard to do so, I would say that the polarizing affect on the sky is a tiny bit too strong... but this is a VERY minor point. Congratulations on a job well done.

I've always thought this was the most beautiful building in NY (and possibly the US)... you have captured this. I particularly like that you don't have other buildings there to detract from this simple, and excellent focal point.
-
this is really original... you did a great job - and i agree, you should see if they want to buy it for an ad. -
I like it... were the leaves naturally like that. The first thing i thought until i read the title was "what creature is that"... those leaf, although technically dead is given life in this image because it looks like some exoctic insect. -
In this photo, i think the focus should be on everything (use f-16 or something like that). I do think that the rocks are distracting. Both are, and it is not because they are there (they do frame the sea and make you feel secluded - which i would assume this picture is trying to convery), but because they take up so much of picture... My guess is that this photo would have been much better had you taken 3-4 steps to the left when you shot it (that way the rock out in tthe ocean wouldn't have been cut off by the rock on the right, the rocks wouldn't have been so big... -
This is a good a portrait. The pose, amount and angle of light on the woman and look is great. It would probably help if the background were more uniform in color, a bit more out of focus, and were one of two things:- Either a uniform dark background - in which case there would need to be a bit more light on the woman to make her stand out. (this would probably be a bit better for B&W pictures)
- Or, a lighter background.

Not too bad, I'm much more of a slob than you - our stove is embedded with food from weeks ago. -
I would have to agree with Carl, it makes me feel relaxed. I am curious, how did you get this yellow "glow" - was it a special filter or serendipitous luck?
-
Congrats on Photo of the Week! When does the gold rush at Glacier National Park begin? I'll be there.
-
The first thing that comes to mind here is that there is no sky... and i wish there were. You may need to use a polarizer or something else for B&W photography (i can't remember all my filters for that kind of work). Wait until there is an interesting sky and go reshoot.
-
This is the first photo here that gets 10 from me for originality. This was a great idea.
-
One of the great things about this shot is the background. it compliments the owl very well and is completely out of focus - terrific!
-
Marvelous

This is a great shot - i just wish the blinds in the back were perfectly perpendicular.

Like you, I am caught by the almost abstract positions that the pelicans were getting in. This is a great photo. It took me a while to figure out that two birds are on the left and one on the right - at first it seemed as if the head of the closer one on the right belonged to the bird on the left which had a very convoluted neck and was pocking another bird (not poke itself which is actually the case). Lighting is good, composition is good, and there are only two things I could nit-pick. First, it seems like the background pelican on the left slightly out of focus (although this could be because of the scan), and the second is that I wish the very top of the photo were green like the grass leading up to it (it seems like you caught just a bit of a wall or something like that - its a bit dark up there)... these are VERY minor points however. Good job.
