I'll be honest with you here, i think it's too busy. My eye has no place to rest from all the lines and reflections and lights. Maybe that's your point. Not sure. My two cents...

I like the composition. I would have liked to have seen the whole leaf in detail as opposed to just the little bit that you have here. Nice job though!

This is a classic shot in my opinion. Great expressions on their faces and the composition with the car window frame works very well here. Nice job!

Very nice use of light and dark.

I like it. Great mood you've captured here.

Very cool. This looks like a miniature version of a cart that you've captured. Nicely done.

Great composition. I like how you've kept the plethora of geese on the top 1/3 of the frame and left us room to breathe from the chaos on the bottom 2/3. I would crop just off the top to get those trees? or hollow points out of this image. Also I would play around with the sharpening and levels just a bit to get more contrast and clarity. You've captured a fine image. Keep it up.

Pretty cool abstract. I would have liked to have seen more of the bottoms of the boats, but it turned out pretty nice as it is. Maybe try stamping out that white line on the bottom right corner of the frame in addition to the white speck in the middle of the photo. Nicely seen and captured.

A very nice and serene photo you have taken. A few suggestions: the fountain is tilting slightly up towards the left; IMO there is a bit too much room left up in the top of the frame, leading the eye up towards the lighted trees in the background as opposed to the lovely fountain; also i would try bumping up the saturation and playing with the Unsharpen filter in PS, if you have it. I've attached a version of my suggestions. You've captured a great photo. Keep it up.

Very nice shot. I like how you've positioned her in the vortex of the lines behind her. Clever. My only suggestion would be to brighten the whites in her eyes in PS in addition to using the Unsharpen Mask. But that's just be picky. I think you've captured a great, memorable photo. Your little girl?

Nice shot. We're you waiting for pizza?

Great shot. Love the sharpness and the composition. Maybe use a little more lighting for the eyes. I feel there's a loss of "connection" with the viewer due to the darkness of that area. But all in all a pretty good shot.

This is a great shot. It looks like something off a postcard. I like how you've kept everything true to vertical and center. And the last bit of sky on top allows one to breathe from the heavily decorated facade. Nicely seen and captured.

I like the colors very much. And the clarity is nice too but IMO you seem to have focused more on her hair line than her eyes which might draw the viewer in a little bit more. Good job though!

I think this shot is pretty good but could use a few things...

 

First, the Nikon 18-200 lens that you used for this is prone to creating barrel distortion that is evident in the bulging of the granite slabs on the bottom of the frame. I have this same lens and find that every time I shoot architecture it becomes very obvious.

 

Second, there is some sort of pink line that is going down the right side of the frame. Not sure what it is???

 

Lastly, IMO the composition of the photo seems a bit off. To me a haiku should feel finished even when it is not. This photo is almost there but then you kept that last window on the right of the frame. I would either stamp it out or zoom out and bring it fully into the photo. This would then lead the viewer towards the "unfinished" windows that seem to best epitomize that word.

 

I've attached a version of my suggestions.

 

Keep up the good shooting.

Great DOF. I too like the colors. A suggestion: try shooting her about 5 feet down the bridge so as not to have the beginning/ending of the railing in view, on the bottom right of the frame. IMO, it distracts from the fluidity that the railing in the background provides.

 

Keep up the good work.

Very interesting shot. I kind of like the shot as it is, without the matching up of the two buildings, being as they are so different from each other and yet blend so well together. But on the other hand it might be a good idea to see if you can do George's suggestion about aligning the buildings.

 

Good eye for the photo.

Great shot. Might have been interesting had you positioned the mirror to see the open road behind you as well. Well done.

Nice abstract.

Nice shot. A cropped version....

 

Very nice abstract. It does get one thinking...

Great abstract! I like the top-down view on this. Well done.

Great shot. Love the contrast of the fuzzy background and crisp bird. Well done. Might try cropping from half the width of the branch on down. The bottom space is not needed IMO. Keep up the good shots.

Tomas,

 

It's an interesting subject matter in the first place: death. Never a fun thing to observe or come across in our daily lives. But it is always a stark reality that we can not run, or in this case fly, from. You get thumbs up for the subject.

 

As a photograph i think it's missing a few elements that would make this stand out more than photographed road kill. First, the levels and contrast can be adjusted to lighten the photo up a little. Second, i would try bumping the saturation to bring out more of the red in the blood and the yellow in the beak. Also, adjust the Sharpening of the photo. Which brings me to the last part of the photo: the composition. I think it would be more effective had you placed the bird more towards the right side of the frame. This would then have given more room on the left side, thus forming a chaos vs order play to the photograph. I've attached a version of the my suggestions.

 

With all of that being said, thank you for the photo. It makes one think...

 

Great symmetry, composition and use of natural and available light. All in all a very good shot. Well done!
