Wonderful shot Michele - am a great fan of these type of photos and love yours.  For me, I dont think that the telephone pole in the middle actually adds anything to the photo, might be just me though. kind regards

Very nice landscape. Lovely greens and blues. The clouds really add to it too.

What a great shot Rassie - I find it actually very amusing! The barbed wire may keep larger creatures at bay but not this one! I would guess that he might have quite a way to go before the next fence post so that he can find earth again!!! To be very critical I would prefer if he stood out a bit more against the background.

Wonderful image! The pose of the man on the very left is great. Can virtually feel the exhaustion of all the hard work. Kind regards

Beautiful flower. Well done. To be very critical, it could be a bit sharper for me, but still lovely.

Beautiful. Personally i usually don't like photos that are processed. This one is quite magical...i just want to open the door and see behind it!

Beautiful, it says so much. One can hardly imagine the stories that he can tell. Love the colours.

For me this shot would still be great without the butterfly - just love the texture of the leaf!

Wonderful expression! To be critical I wonder if you could lighten the eyes and I do find the "spots" at the top left distracting. Just a personal opinion, still a great capture!

Beautiful, amazing in black background. Nothing further to add!

Beautiful flowers. To be harsh I would prefer if there were three, just a personal preference! I feel it would add more balance... nice shot even so!

Wonderful...it isn't easy to be harsh on a great shot - i wonder how it would look if it were inversed left to right? Great shot :-)

I really like your shot, and your choice of Depth of Field.  Kind regards

Alf, Many thanks for your invaluable advice...it is precisely for this reason that I post.  All of your comment make total sense, will have to put them to the test! I will see if i have another shot of this boat at a different DOF. Kind regards, and thanks again, Liz

All comments and critiques on how to improve are gratefully received!

Thanks!

Nice shot Corinne, I think you could try cropping the beach. Also the blob on the horizon to the right of the people is slightly disturbing. Well done!

Great shot Jorge, the depth of field seems to be just right. I love the eye and the white beard, for me it really adds to the shot.

Brings back fond memories of PNG! Great shot, and love the way he is holding the green leaves. I wonder what the background was? I look forward to seeing more! Regards

Beautfiul shot of this stunning landscape! I wonder what this shot would look like in landscape?

Stunning scenery Michael! For me too the colour saturation is slightly too high. Being very picky but would love to see the sky making the mountains stand out more. Would love to have been there!

Your comments and critiques are gratefully received. I think this

angle is slightly better? Thanks!

Many thanks Nico for your helpful comments.  I have to say that I am the same...I prefer not to interfere with my subject...i prefer to take the shot as the scene truly is. Every photographer is different though! I guess it makes it much more difficult for me to capture that white cat!

Kind regards, Liz
