After taking in much of the excellent advise I received here on PN I

worked towards a fresh new angle to create a little different flower

composition. How does it come across for you? 3/3's let your voice be

heard.... In deep gratitude! ~M~

Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback, it is greatly appreciated! Most sincerely, ~Mary~

As always I am grateful for your ratings and critique. Most

sincerely, ~M~

Thank you so much Paola. I am grateful for the time you took to look and write. Best regards, ~M~

Thank you Robert for the detailed critique. I appreciate the time it takes for such scrutiny. I did visit your tulip, and took note of your technique. I solicited some feedback from friends on this one and learned a lot about what I had missed. My perspective keeps expanding and PN is a wonderful forum from which to learn. Thanks again! Most sincerely, ~M~

I try to avoid photoshop enhancement, though this one warranted a bit

of erasing of the branch in front of the hawk. How did I do? As

always all critiques are welcome and appreciated. Sincerely, ~Mary~

Thank you for your time, and sharing of ideas. Most sincereely, ~M~

Staying far enough away not to disturb this group of seals, I

appreciated my lens and loved the natural environment. Better viewed

large. Thanks for looking! ~M~

Hi Gordon, I am thrilled ( and honored ) that you are taking some time with my photos. Thank you. You are a great talent. And as always I consider your feedback very seriously. I don't mind the 3/3's I just wish I could benefit from the whys, whats and wheres. anonymous negative ratings without critique can get a little frustrating. Humility is good medicine, Thanks again... always a pleasure. ~M~

Congratulations on a 7 Gordon! You have earned it! Maggie is bliss personified! The sky compliments her as it seems to complete the expansion of her wonderful energy. I love the creativity of this one. The only thing better would have been a shot of you getting this shot. I guess it's way to much to ask if you got one with her tail in it or not? Just to add to the curve? Another tough exposure fantastic DOF! You rock! ~Mary~

Wow! Its a first! Not one 3/3 and so many wonderful people to thank! Especially Gordon, you know I rely on your honesty... Thank you so much PN advisors! Most sincerely, ~Mary~

3/3s anyone?????? We all know you're out there... please share your

comments, and critiques, yes this is bait.....

Ahh life is good on Photo Net...

Enjoy!!!! The day, may all your shots be sharp! ~Mary~

 

Thanks Leah I am glad you enjoyed the shot and felt the warmth. Thank you so much for taking the time to write. Most sincerely, ~Mary~

( BTW and sure enough a 3/3 posted without a comment? )

This was shot in the local feed store, so with that said... Will the

anonymous 3/3's please step forward? I would love to hear your

comments? and those of anyone who is inclined. With great

appreciation, Mary.

A remarkable moment. Did I capture the fire? All comments and

suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you, ~ Mary ~

Amazing detail of a beautiful flower. The light on the foliage gives it a wonderful density. I am tempted to want to see more. Perfect light on the stem, just enough to define the lines, while keeping it subtle, and blending it to the background. Very nice work on a difficult subject.

I felt that to rate a below average I owed you an explanation. I didn't see much purpose in the photo. It seemed like a snap shot and for that it was fine. I feel the work on this site is really typically so superior to such a snapshot that by comparison I rated it low. Though I believe it's always good to leave on a positive note, So... its a good one for your memories book and I'm sure it will make you smile to remember the day.

another wonderful portrait BOB!!!! Love your work!

nature's lines so beautiful and defined.

I am partial, as this is my niece. Any thoughts? As always thank you

for your time, and sharing of comments. Mary

Very nice Elaine! Symbolic and sweet. I might have played around with the crop, though it is lovely just the way it is, as well. Fortunate couple to have you at the shutter. ~Mary~

It is so interesting how there seems to be a 3/3 in the mix even in

the top rated photos???? Please let me know why? if you feel its less

than average. All critique is good critique, that's why we're here.

What a great group of photographers! Thanks everyone! ~Mary~

Again with the contrast, hard and soft light and dark and this time vivid brilliant color! Love it! ~M~

Nice job Willy! Creative and fun to view. I love the contrast of hard and soft, light and dark. Good work! ~M~

I have experienced a wide varying response to my photos. I have

noticed the same photo can rate a 3/3 and a 6/6. Please if you would?

let me know if you feel it rates below average, exactly what would

you like to see different? This is a wonderful forum for which to

learn and build our craft. Thank you so much for your time. Most

sincerely, ~Mary~
