Nice lighting, a bit cramped on two sides with unexplained space on the other - is the cup going into motion? But, above all - what is the point? It does feel distinctly unpleasant, not a bad quality in itself, but only if serving some purpose...

I like the mosaic, almost chemical crystal effect of it. I would, however, add a bit of toning, if only a little to separate the shades of gray which may be too close to each other. But - a very nice shot overall.

Any way of telling if the apples came out too soft in the shot?

Tried switching it on. Doesn't work

... and I need your opinion on what came out. Thanks

See it? I can't figure out whether it's a reflection or the structure

inside and with Tuscany behind me there's no way of checking...

Please, compare with another version in my folder. Thanks

Belive it or not, I shot an entire roll twice. And that's the only

useable survivor. Or is it? I would very much appreciate your opinion

in this case as I am really undecided whether or not the image has any

artistic merit at all.

I think it's that type of grain which is neither smooth, nor 'golf ball' enough to be attractive, clumpy sort of. Specks of dust, easily clearable, do take away from the image, as does some irregularity on girl's cheek. Lighting is good and dof too, facial expression is very good. Although the pose, especially given the lady's dimensions, is somewhat awkward.

Probably not. How's the picture, though?

Was topical for St. Valentine, I suppose. Please, judge. I am also

interested of your opinions on the look of red parrot's front

feathers. Is it something called 'blooming' or is normal? If it's

indeed blooming, what's the way of rectifying? I tried to supporess

saturation increase on this area, but only just.

great moment. Shame about colour correction!

Great greens. I've got a different perspective on the same, much less color

Well, you could put people there, but only on promise not to bulid anything above three men height. Toning is a bit peculiar, I'd like to see something a tad bluer and a bit less saturated (simple colorisation at 218:11 something like that). And what was the light - is it a night time or dusk with a very long exposure? Very good picture indeed.

Too banal?

.. or is there something which attracts you too? Can't really pin it

down, but I reckon something is appealing. What?

am I being filthy or would just a trace of skirt here would greatly increase the joke?

I appreciate that shooting this remote place was awfully difficult. But still, in an ideal world I would prefer more sharpness on the front face of the rock and something instead of a burn in the top part of the sky. Strange wavy perspective on the left also chips away from the magic of the image. But just. Still looks amazing.

In my opinion, it's balancing on that edge between a composite and a processed photograph. I can't believe the clouds were present as they are, this type of cloud can't hang that low as to envelop the branches. Foliage lighting is too diffused for this type of day. Don;t know why, but it does bother me as a viewer - if the author would make it more obvious it's a composite, a mix, I wouldn't trouble questoining it, I suppose. Then again, it's not for nothing that all composite tutorials spend all this time on correct shadow arrangements and relative brightness...

I can't measure the range of contrast between the truck and ground in the original and the exhibit, but it still looks unnatural. What's most important - it doesn't have to be that prominent, the image would work fine without so much of the accentuation on the Rover. Otherwise it's really good and I don't care where the sky came from.

Would look boring without the bench, don't you think?

Please, critique

Does the body on top distract?

Adverts come and go and this one is no longer, but I wonder if the

owner of the flat below ever felt anything special.

The amount of colour information is minute, yet it does mean a lot. I suggest beefing the orange around the eye a bit. Very good shot.
