2 weeks ago I had leave before sunset. This trip we got to stay up

here past dark and it was well worth it.

Is it too distracting having everything be so blurry, or does it draw

your eyes to his eyes.

I just wish I could have stayed up in this meadow until sunset, maybe

someday.

I like that in this perspective you can see some of the shoreline, but

do you think that it's too much so that there is no focus?

It was great to be able to wonder and photograph in such a beautiful

place.

Thanks for the reviews and ratings.

I took a look at the file and there doesn't appear to be any information hidden in the whited out area, so on a duplicate layer I cloned some over from the other part of the sky, cropped it to just the upper corner and used the advanced blending options in photoshop to make blend it in with the original layer, a little smudging to even out the sky and this is the results, not a great job but just a quick idea of what you could do. After looking at it again I think I might also try to darken the pines on the right of the building.

Advice or praise always welcome. :-)

 

This was shot from the bell tower of a church during Holy Week in

Guatemala.

Thank you for the views, ratings, and critiques.

One of many beautiful Spanish churches that now lay in ruins in

Antigua. My worry is that this image is visually boring. What do you

think?

This town was really colorful (their main crop is flowers). I wish I

had taken more photos.

There is a sort of triangular patch of light above her left eye that you might want to try to minimize.

I really love the subject matter in this photo. It seems like the only photo's of kids playing with simple toys outside came from the 50's. A really good photo in the technical sense to. At first I was a bit unsure about the cropping but it really seems to work in this picture.

I think having the legs run over like that gives it a sense of dynamic. I think if you had seen there hole leg it would have felt like they would be sitting there forever. But now I feel like even though they look relaxed they are about to jump up any minute.

Great shot, the title helps make it. Where as so much of the nudity on this sight seems to focus on the beauty or nudity with nature, I feel like this shot goes a lot deeper. It's that feeling you get when your really learning. You have to open your mind and really put yourself out there sometime, and there is a venerability to it and a feeling of rebirth that comes along with it. That's what this shot really says to me at least.

This photo is good in it's idea and composition. It is a little rough on the eyes because there are only little patches of the flower that are in sharp focus. I feel like it's ok to have most of a photo out of focus, but generally when you do you need an area of sharp focus for the viewers eyes to "rest" on.

I love the lighting here, the way the color at the top of the bird pops, and it gives it such a fluid shape, and then you see the subtle details like the rocks on the bottom and the ripples on the water.

Comments on composition, color especially welcome.

I always liked this photo but found the angle of be a bit unsettling.

This was a great place to think why looking out over the town and the

mountains.

great shot.

Any suggestions on what you would do to make this picture better? Thanks.

great use of tools to get this effect. Nice and fluid looking.

I'm looking for constructive criticism here. Thanks for your help

Great shot, its a great blending of styles between what I see in your landscape shots and what I see in your model shots.
