Nice shot. I'd try bumping up the contrast to accentuate the trees more and then flip the whole thing upside down. The tighter crop might help with this as well. Still very nice as presented here. -
Nice shot. The static composition works well here with the inclusion of a fairly large portion of sky. I particlularly like the view through the doors-- a picture within a picture. The sepia is appropriate for such a scene.
-
I like it, too, but feel like I want to see more of the background. Not much, if any, sky, just more of the grassland and rocks in the distance. I would keep the lichen covered rock as the prominent foreground subject. Beautiful colors-- looks like southwest Oklahoma (near where I live).
-
I agree with you and Thomas. Just too much black in the shot. The darkness on the left is distracting as well. I'm curious about the left-sided darkness. Were you by any chance using a polarizer at the 18mm focal length?
-
I agree that this has been done a lot before but it is still well done. The second hill adds an element of depth. -
I agree with others, this is an intriguing shot. Road shots like this are hard to pull off in that it is difficult to find the type of surrounding landscape to match your vision (at least in my case).
I am curious about the large area of featureless white sky in the middle-- cloud?
Overall, excellent shot.

She's obviously beautiful and you've captured that well. I think the fairly close crop of her head tends to lessen the emotional impact of the shot-- I feel like I want to see more of her shoulders and upper body to get a feel for her emotion. I guess this feels more like a record shot-- although an otherwise well-executed one. Hope this makes sense. -
I guess I'd prefer not to see the finger covering the mouth, but other than that, I think this is an excellent portrait. Tonal scale and composition are good and you avoided blown highlights on the right side of his face and detail-losing darkness on the left side. Now, if you tell me he's a painter and the painting in the background is one of his, even better.

Excellent capture. I bet the couple loves this one.

I like this a lot. The lack of sharpness doesn't bother me (I'm obviously not a sharpness fanatic;-)) and I think the composition and expressions are wonderful.

Well done! Colors, composition, tonal scale, everything is right on. Added to my favorites.

Well-done. Reminds me of this shot of mine:

But yours is more dramatic.

I agree, the frame doesn't really do much for this excellent image. Nice work. -
Thanks for the info, David.

The only drawback here is the high contrast. I understand the lack of image-editing software, but the real issue here is the light. The harsh, direct, overhead light has resulted in the high contrast and washed out color. Simply shading the subject and adjusting the white balance in-camera (or let the camera auto-adjust) would do wonders. I like the DOF, and the central composition works pretty well here.
-
I know these shots are not easy. You've managed good sharpness and adequate DOF here. However, the colors are a little flat and I think the damaged leaf is unfortunate as it is hard to overlook. You might want to check out the macro work of Mark Plonsky on this site.

I'd give this a 7/7, but then I'd have to look at it every time I checked out my favorites. -
I think I prefer this one over the one with pine branches. I was just thinking that the outline of the foreground branches is such a nice fit for the outline of the distant trees that this could be accentuated by not overlapping them. It's still a wonderful shot. The series, in general, is great. I would, however, thin it a little as some of the shots are redundant. Keep it up, always a pleasure to look at your stuff.
-
I definitely prefer this square crop.
-
I really like this a lot, Doug. It's the kind of thing I like to shoot. However, I find myself wanting just a little separation between the foreground branches and the distant trees. Also, the more I look at it, the crooked horizon bothers me some (although I am not a level horizon freak, in general).
