If not for the log at the bottom I would barely be able to tell where tree starts and water ends. I like this because it's so complex and dark and a bit scary. Kudos to the photographers that have the fortitude to go out and get these kinds of shots!

I love several things about this image:

1. The black and white gives it a classical effect while the graffiti keeps the modern feel

2. I agree with the previous poster about the shadows. You see none of her "goodies" but you can still see the important parts of her form - her lines, her shape, and her physique. Very nice and very tasteful!

3. The contrast between the beauty / softness of the model and the grittines / edginess of the location. (!)

Love this shot.

I like how the branches in the foreground seem to frame the rainbow, and the rainbow seems to frame the trees in the distance. Very nice effect.

Wonderful shot. I love the B&W conversion. The composition is great. Very inspiring! Thank you for this shot. I love it.

It looks good but I can barely see it (maybe you intended it to be this way). It feels like I am peeking through a hole in a wall, the way the frame is. I would love to see it twice as big as it is. I was looking for the "Larger" button. It looks very nice as is but I'd love to look closer (I think this is a sign of an intriguing photo!). The light looks interesing; is your subject the couple under the tree? Cheers!

I like the motion effect with the clouds but would like a little more foreground.

I was moved by your photo and your dedication. My fiancee recently lost her mother. Best wishes to you and your family.

Ironic title...when I first saw the pic thumbnail in the forum I thought it was ballet dancers on stage. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on it to find a picture of fire. Great imaginative capture.

National Portrait Gallery, Washington DC. We had a great time goofing

around with our cameras. When I saw this hallway I had to snap a few.

Thanks for your input!

Looks like you're standing right next to it! Razor sharp. Great photo!

This is the old DC post office at about 7am. Critiques are greatly

appreciated. Thanks!

I feel cold just looking at this. Have you considered a cooler white balance? I would love to see this with a bluish tint.

I love it -- definitely conveys the idea of introspection to me. It looks as if the subject is pondering life in a beautiful location. I like the reflection of the dome in the river, the texture of the cobblestone, and the bridge on the left which leads the eye from the foreground to the background. I love it.

It would be nice if the left side of her face had a bit more light. Also, to me it looks as if the right side of her face has been retouched and the left has not. Otherwise I like the contrast in this shot and the light on the right side of her face is very nice, and I like it a lot.

In this case I think the bluish snow works - it does convey the early morning mood & light, as does the orange reflections in the water. I think if you did adjust the picture or your exposure to get the snow perfectly white that the image would be overexposed and you'd blow the highlights. I really like your image -- it makes you feel the cold. I would only recommend maybe some more of the background / less of the foreground and/or some creative cropping. Cheers!
