I think this will make a fabulous print

Fantastic dynamic in the image. Beautifully done

Comments and critiques welcome, thanks in advance

Davide, it's probable that JPG compression and/or a poor resizing algorithm is doing the banding, especially if you're not seeing it other places or in your original. It's a beautiful image, but the banding does catch my attention.

Dang, didn't realize this was 4x5, now your talking :-) Who makes images for the 'net anyway. I mean really!

Great ominous storm light.

Nice shot of the Bridger Jack mesa with one of the six shooters in the back. I love that area and haven't been back in a while.

This light looks nice, but the saturation looks extremely pumped up.

Daniel, it's probably lichen covering the rock that gives it that color. A lot of backcountry granite in the area has that yellow-green lichen on it. The reef of rock on the north side of Mt Lemmon is another example.

This is much more natural looking, though I didn't mean anything bad with your previous example. There's nothing wrong with pumping up color, by any means, I certainly do it. You simply need to find your style and taste for it. This is a beautiful image and I'm looking forward to seeing your processing skills grow.

The colors seem very muted for some reason. But I do like this view of last light on the cliffs, especially with the Abajo mountains in the back.

Beautiful image. I love the mystery. My complaint is the central placement of the child, I think more to the right would have made a more dynamic image. Processing is beautifully done.

Very interesting. It looks as though the color tones could be banding or stepped, which may mean you pushed the processing a bit much.

Classic fall color scene

Nothing really to say. The composition is nicely put together, good light. Nice work.

Actually, the jumping cholla (or hanging cholla, or chain fruit cholla, by other names) are different than the Teddy Bear cholla. They both hurt though :-) This looks like more like a chain fruit cholla.

Very pretty light on the trees, I might work a little sharpening and some local contrast.

Very nicely composed. I like the inclusion of shadows as you've done too. Good work.

Beautiful light and portrait, but the left side is very yellow and looks quite unnatural.

March 11, 2008

Nice. Beautiful light. Compositionally, I wish you had the camera pointed just a little more to the left, but I wasn't there so can't know your reasons. Still a beautiful image of the dome.

Nicely done. It may be an optical illusion, but I feel tilted CCW. I like how the clouds continue the shape of the near waterline. Is the the Owen's Valley?

Comments & critiques appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, the exposure is not perfect. I love the composition, but the water is totally blown out. I'd suggest metering so that the histogram doesn't hit the right edge.
