Nice action and dynamic image. The angles of the players give a real compositional drive to this picture. Only comment is I would have cropped about 1cm off the right side to remove the bit of white disk which intrudes onto the orange background.

I love old doors, and I love the texture in this one.

Very nice image, and I really appreciate your control over the texture (and sharpness) and also the soft mid-tones in this capture.

This breaks all the rules of an image I like, but I like it. Most likely because of the combinination of action and seasonality, and the joy expressed through it. I could make comment on technical aspects but that would be beside the point because at the heart of this image is a great, simple, fun little story.

Love it! My favourite of today's bunch of ratings by far. The composition is simple and classical, the tones are sublime, and there is a real mood to this image. Congratulations!

Nice work - this would have been a difficult exposure and is very well executed.

Beautiful portrait, and in particular great rendering of the eyes, and great choice to contrast the red hair against the black mask and background. Lighting works really well too,

Great composition and geometry, and I thought about the inclusion of the car for a while and have decided it is very clever tobring a sense of dynamism and reality to this image - and of course the touch of red colour.

Gorgeous work Matthew and I can only imagine what this looks like in full size! Makes me wish for a second I was back home in Australia.

Beautiful still life! I appreciate and admire the control in all aspects of this image - tone and colour, lighting, composition... excellent!

Nice moment, and nice social comment with the young children against this slogan (and I enjoy the intellectual tension between the hope and crass commercialism of the message).

Great silhouette, and your decisions post-processing make this awesome (sky tones, cropping to give the strong, dynamic diagonal lines to the jumping girl, etc). I very mcuh enjoyed this image.

January 10, 2011

Impressive landscape, and your post-processing of colours makes it more dramatic still. Well done.

January 10, 2011

A little constructuve criticism here is that it may have been better compositionally not to 'cut off' the lemur's backside and feet. Otherwise, a nice image.

January 10, 2011

Nice! Wonderful idea to find this geometry, and the colours and texture are great.

January 10, 2011

I really like it! Composition is strong yet classical, and the way you have done colurs and saturation gives a slightly fictitious feel.

January 10, 2011

Very interesting perspective and idea. This is certainly an original night-time landscape.

Very cute and well taken street image. The edge-lighting of the girl's hair is well achieved, and this is a really nice seasonal image.

January 6, 2011

YES! This is excellent, I love it. Great treatment, including the basic image, the post-processing decisions and all elements contributing to a very moody portrait. My only slight question is to the model's left hand, which is a tiny bit distracting as a highight outside of the face-area focal point. But overall this is wonderful.

Lovely closeup of these wild grasses (which, as you would know from my own portfolio, is a favoured subject). Interesting tones also in the background.

January 6, 2011

Intriguing and well taken. This is one that I lingered over for a while, looking at the elements, and the interesting, incongruous background. Congratulations on a very though-provoking image.

January 6, 2011

This is a challenging image to look at compositionally. It has many lovely elements and is well taken. However the splash of strong red in the foreground seriously draws the eye, compared to the more muted, beautiful colours in the rest of the frame. Did you try this in B/W?

January 6, 2011

Lovely. I really like the subject and especially the lighting. Your decision to do this in B/W is excellent.

January 6, 2011

Nice image. My suggestions would be to lift the exposure a touch on the bird, and also maybe to use a more open aperture so as to further blur the background (which is a little 'busy' and stops the subject from popping as much as it could). But overall a nice image.

Smiling as this image reveals what the item was in the last, close-up image that I rated!
