    A very nice line to the house but an uneven shadow across it. The house does well to be the brightest object, a slightly lower perspective could make it more dominant - playing with a little cropping at the top left corner does a similar thing.

    A bit dark - it would be nice to emphasise a line through the apostles using photoshop to bring it up a bit. Also, the magenta tint is a little strong (but pleasant.)

    Photographs should speak for themselves - too much leading critique by you I think. The contrast in the shirt colours is good but no ball. Also they are a bit straight which makes it more static - if the tacklee was leaning forward it would have more impact. Nicely framed, background a bit bright above the crowd.

    A shallow DOF, nice water drops. The red colour here holds the eye out around the edges lessening the effect of the dark interior - which could hold attention.
  1. I actually like some of the detail in the full that's not so obvious in the crop. The red detail on the mountains is superb and there's balance with the snow capped mountains. The trees do add interest on the right where the greens are duller - but the eye is drawn to the red and the path to the sun. Looks like a great day - with the cloud keeping the contrast down. What are you joining with - the exposure balance is not perfect.

    I'm pretty new to macro and don't have any of the clamps and stuff - I

    was handholding the camera and flash for this one and focusing by

    moving myself. Would appreciate some tips ('buy more gear')

    It's a nice scene, well done as it is and can be improved further. The transitions at the horizons and rocks would be better done using 'old fashioned' digital blending and limited contrast masking, blending everything actually loses drama and moves towards 'plastic' as sharp local contrast is lost.

    A characterful face and supporting treatment that brings up the wear and tear of age. Overall it works well except for me, the eyes which look softened and a bit lifeless. (I am not viewing on a calibrated monitor so this could be a problem on my end).

    Nice shot, happy smile, isolation of the bride. The bridesmaids blurred is a good idea but what's behind them should be even more out of focus as it's distracting. You could crop a little off the right to get rid of some of that. Would also have been nice to place the bridesmaids a little side-on.
