WOW! Very colorful, beautiful exposure, detail and color - and what a story this tryptich tells! Amazing what goes on at the hummingbird feeder!

This is really eye-catching. The colors compliment and the arch draws the eye to the back of the photograph. Nice composition, nice use of color and perspective.

I don't like to be negative, but...all I see here is a grossly underexposed photograph of what looks like a pretty boring wooded slope...There is no point of interest, and if there were, there wouldn't be enough light to see it. I cannot see good basic photographic techniques (other than the hill doesn't cut the picture exactly in half) or aesthetics displayed here. Whatever might be there for us to see, I guess I just don't see it....

The blaze of light in the upper right seems overdone - it overpowers the rest of the picture and creates too much contrast with far too little detail for the viewer to easily see what the photo is about - unless you are trying to portray glare. I found myself wanting to squint at it on my monitor!

Nice catch! Unusual subject composition. Good color and foreground detail. I like the mostly monochromatic color composition. Nice piece of work!

This picture has a nice solid blue sky and very un-noteworthy terrain. Nothing catches the eye - it's really very boring. There seems to be a tiny dot in the center of the sky - is is the moon or something on the lens? I honestly am not sure, and that is not good. Objects that are supposed to attract attention in a photo must be large enough to be easily seen and recognized.

I am fascinated every spring by the beauty of wisteria and dedicate a fair amount of

photo time to capturing the tiny blooms in a variety of settings. This is one of my

favorites. Comments/suggestions? Thanks.

Sea Lion basking on the lava cliffs of the Galapagos. Any comments/suggestions

appreciated.

Another is my series of experiments in photography using abstract elements created

by nature. The photo is digitally unaltered and has minimal CS2 enhancement.

Comments/suggestions welcomed. Thanks.

Red crab in Galapagos. Comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I was looking at this photo again and had to add another comment. The vertical shot is too long for my screen. As I was scrolling up and down to look at it, I realized that the top half and the bottom half this photo are each so strong and so well composed that you could cut it in half and have two wonderfully interesting and very different photographs. This can be said of very few photos and makes this one a real standout in my opinion.

I love the use of cold neutral tones - the strength of the very large barren trees, the repeating horizontal lines and the contrast of the delicate reddish brown grass in the foreground. NIce work - really portrays a mood.

I think would like this photo a lot better without the use of the star burst and spotlight effects - or with added more artistic effects to the landscape. For some reason the blend of real and surreal doesn't quite fulfill its promise.

Beautiful use of colors - warm tones of orange and yellow with cool blue of sky, of course, white snow. One of my favorite composition "formats" is the use of triangles; you have several trainglular areas, and they work beautifully together. Very nice piece of work!

I love the feeling of height, of downward motion and flooding light - very nice effects!

Great colors and nice contrast between the gray pavement and the autumn hues. I think I would like the picture better if you cropped the bottom (somewhere between the first and second "dot" in the dotted line) to eliminate so much foreground pavement. I think it takes away from the foliage even though the colors are a great contrast. (Too much of a good ting?) To my eye the centerline is more effective being a bit more subtle.

Very nice composition and color - and a very clear reflection on still water.

So simple, yet so dramatic, at least to my eyes. Minimal digital correction - I shot at

dusk, used the flash to light the subject and exposed for the foreground.

Comments/criticism please.

This is an angle most photographers won't get; I shot it from the front porch of my

sister's home. I love sunsets, but most shots are very predictable. I thought this one

had a little more individuality than many. Manual exposure, 300mm focal length with

my D100, minimal CS2 enhancement. Comments/suggestions welcomed. Thanks!

Close-Up of a Queen Conch. I'm not sure which of us was more interested in the other.

I wonder what he/she is looking at with her other eye stalk! This shot is uncropped

with minimal digital enhancement. Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

This is one of my favorite UW techniques - exposing for the foreground, getting the

strobe light just right and high-lighting against a dark background. This shot is

uncropped with minimal CS2 enhancement. Any comments/suggestions? Thanks.

I was raking leaves when I chanced across this tiny arachnid. Swapped the rake for

my camera. Comments/suggestions appreciated.

Wide angle shot. I was trying to capture the expanse and aloneness of the deserted

beach and emphasize the clouds and coming weather without making them the main

subject. Does tis work? Thanks for any comments.

Uncropped close-up of a Grouper in Turks & Caicos. Comments?

Photo is uncropped. Any comments/suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
