He looks like quite a character, and you've caught that pretty well.

His hands are cut off by the frame, unfortunately. 

Beautiful night shot.

The lens flare from the lights is interesting.

The composition is just a little bit static but with a very dynamic subject --

I'm not sure exactly how to improve it, but maybe less foreground, or slightly tighter crop on the left?

Very nice exposure.

The two points of land at either side of the frame compete draw attention making a pretty successful tension that drags interest across a dramatic sky with an interesting distant horizon below.

Note: the horizon seems tilted slightly low to the left though, and this should be fixed in PP. (I'm sensitive to horizons since being nailed onstage in a public critique, years ago: "It looks like the ocean will pour right out of the picture....")

Hi, I like the concept of using the panorama in vertical format. This time the example does not seem to draw the eye to the intended subject, the small chapel cut into the forest on the hill. In fact I'm left uncertain what the subject is until I read the title.

There seems to be extraneous detail that competes for attention, while the framing includes the roofs at the very bottom which drew my eyes, but didn't really add to the composition.

I think I would go back another time with this result in mind and shoot when the light was more interesting and the sky was blue.

It's a very unique view of a crab, and not a crab I'm familiar with!

This bear I had not heard of before.

The shot is through glass and shows a reflection of the surrounding areas.

Thanks for looking!

Outstanding moment, great vantage, just wonderful!

These horses are enjoying a fine spring day together in the mountains.

Thanks for your ratings and critique!

Extraordinary landscape; the colors are a bit too much...what is that black dot in the center near the right edge? That should go!

She is a lovely girl, with beautiful features and body, and the technical details are very good to excellent, her expression is a bit unhappy or contrived, either one, and the composition has her looking out of the frame. She seems cut off too much near her hips. I think if she was more to the left, or cropped more behind her it would be a stronger image.

/..

Strong, forced composition is not always successful, but works well here. Good tonal distinctions and variety, with the rope separate from the water, the concrete, the sky and the hull of the boat.

/..

Drawn in by the obvious attraction to a lovely girl, but the strong graphic qualities, with geometric elements gives more depth. The spot of color is not out of place, it adds more interest.

Thanks for taking the time to view, rate and critique my photograph!

Bon chance,

Outstanding image. Love the orange hues. Lake Geneva has always been one of my favorite, most beautiful places, and this photo does not disappoint!

The strip-print format for presentation is good, but the white bars outlining the photo, top and bottom, reduce the serenity of the shot and are very distracting. They take the aesthetic rating down 3 points!!! Alas.

Nice, sharp appearing and contrasty B+W. But the processing and burning of the sky and lower left corner detract from the image. The tonal values don't balance, in fact, in several parts of the image. These excessive effects don't aid this image.

Hi! This occurred in my pepper garden. It looks like another critter

has placed cocoons on the living caterpillar. Nature at work....

This is a fun shot. Nice red background, but I wish his head was turned slightly more forward.

Looks like he's hollering for his mate or yakking about territory.

/..

Nice. Looks like a 'green tree python'. They're not very friendly like some other pythons are, but are very cool looking.

Nice background and good depth of field. I like the view of his/her eye, very cool!

/..

Dark and moody, very nice. There is little to show that this isn't a medieval village.

I like the painterly effect.

Thanks for taking the time to consider my work and let me know what

you think! The best way to develop as a photographer is by listening

to the constructive critiques of you peers.

Great depth, liquid light!

Sinuous subject, interesting tonal range.

Really nice textures and it's great that you went with B+W for this shot. A very intimate shot of these animals.

Unfortunate to have the weeds in foreground left + right; they are not effective to frame this shot. Maybe a tighter crop from this with less distracting elements?
