Thank you for critiques!

I said, out loud, "Oh my," when I saw this picture. Great shot.

Thanks in advance for critiques! Please compare to color version.

Thanks in advance!

Great composition

You should post a mini-lesson about how you got this shot. How you managed lighting, composition, equipment, processing, etc. I would love to know. This picture is truly great.

Great shot. Good lighting, composition, & DOF.

You got the colors & the lighting perfect.

IMO, it's just a little too obvious that this is two pictures combined. I like the idea, though.

I wish you were just a bit to the right so her feet would be in the frame.

I might try to crop or edit the tree out of the picture. Overall, striking photo of the cathedral.

OK, it's a Ukelele, but let's see who's first to get the reference...

 

I used my new lens, Canon 50mm 1.4 USM, to capture an indoor scene

without a flash. I have a rule that if the colors aren't interesting,

make it B&W, so a color drain & a black border, a little lightening,

and here we are. A sweet moment with Uncle Matt playing the Ukelele

with Liam, and I think I have a pretty decent picture on my hands. But

I'm biased; it's my picture and my family. What do you think?

This picture was taken in the family backyard on Father's Day. To me,

it shows how much easier photography is when you have great lighting.

After reading through Ken Rockwell's website, I've been experimenting

more with trusting the camera's automatic functions. In this photo,

everything was automatic, in program mode anyway, except for the white

balance, which I still control better than the camera. I think it's

given me more time to shoot and capture "moments" rather than fiddling

with every detail of a shot. For example, in this picture, Liam's

face has an almost adult expression. I think I'll try shooting this

was a bit more. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your comments

& critiques.

This is Liam, very proud of himself, just after his first crawl. Can a

picture of a baby be interesting to people that don't know him? You

let me know.

I like the color cast.

To me, this shot seems squeezed in. It's just dying to be shot in landscape rather than portrait. The eye naturally wants to see what's to the left and right of the shot. Good color & clarity.

Reminds me of Ansel Adams.

Great sharpness on a 20 second exposure.

Pretty much as good as it gets in flower photography.

You can tell it wasn't sent through Photomatix because the people look good. I'm glad you're working with Topaz products. They're what I use the most, even more than Photomatix.

 

Excellent use of the software to create a semi-surrealistic picture and to capture the mood of the show. I also like the wide-angle decision.

Perfect control of DOF. Isabella is completely in focus, with a nice, soft blur of the background. I do agree about the sky, though it's a minor detail. The eye isn't drawn there. But it might be a cyan desaturation that is called for.

I love the great detail, and B&W was the right move.
