I'm loving this! (Sorry Mc Donalds  -I needed that line)

Great color and saturation, contrast and using the fauna as scale. All important elements in landscape photography

Vibrant,sharp,nicely composed. Beautiful

Nothing short of spectacular. I never tire of viewing images created from this location. Each one is like a snowflake. The sky obviously sets this one apart.

In your defense, these are never an easy image to capture.

The lighting for this appears to be adequate. Looking to the lower left of the frame I see a hot spot that really draws my eyes away from the subject.

The subject leaf itself does not really hold my interest, I always feel if the subject is isolated as much as this one is, the subject should really stand out as an outstanding example.  I see too many imperfections in the leaf

The vignetting does not add anything to this. I would at least have cropped the hood or filter out. That's just from a technical aspect. 

From an aesthetics POV, I'm looking for something in the image that tells me a story. I'm not arriving at that. I always ask myself that before I compose.

I'm struggling with what is the subject, the architecture or the people? Nothing here really stands forward to claim the prize.

I hope this helps.

Colorful. Dramatic. Interesting foreground. Plenty of nice elements to view here.

One hot spot just right of center, highlights are slightly blown out.....however....may not be a fair judgement as the algorithms on this website I'm finding look very different than both my home monitor and the final print version.

I can't offer a harsh critique because I agree with the previous 2.  I do think to emphasize the geyser in landscape format I would have made the subject less dominant, in other words from a more distant perspective. 

A vertical composition would have worked nicely :)

I feel your composition was well planned and executed. The lighting situation was difficult nevertheless you pulled it off. 2 thumbs up, beautiful

I agree with a previous critique, that being this is a technically excellent image. I feel a sense of awe viewing this, possibly because the openness of the landscape leaves one feeling vulnerable.

The colors are wonderful, the cool blue in the sky juxtaposed to the warm tones of the foreground grasses. A beautiful image!

This is wonderful to take in. The halo around the bright sun is proportioned well in the scene. You also handled the harsh back lighting quite well with nice detail preserved in the subject.

Pleasing photograph.  Tells a story and captures the mood.

This is a wonderful, soft and delicate nature image and quite pleasing to the eye.  The ethereal water flows diagonally L to R (nicely done) The moss and foreground leaf sharply focused, juxtaposed to the flowing water and the colors and tones are nice.   Well done.

Spectacular image, nicely composed and exposed.  My only "nit" would be a minor one, that is something about where the body of water ends to the right that appears man-made or unnatural as compared to the wonderfully soft shoreline on the left.

That said, the mountains and reflections are sooo impressive I hardly wonder if it even matters.  Very nice work.   TS

I'm drawn to this.  The cool blue juxtaposed to the warm tone of the dock is very interesting.  The ethereal water created by the long exposure is quite pleasing.  Add this to your next art gallery display!

Don't like this at all, I LOVE this :)    Deep and mysterious.  Well composed using the strong verticle lines and interesting root patterns as foreground.  Added to faves.

This image has a wonderful mood captured quite nicely!  Personally love the composition and flow, and especially the subtle tones.   Two thumbs up.  This is ART

Expertly composed, the texture and leading lines are very interesting and perfect contrast applied.  This is a wonderful B&W and an absolute joy to view.  Best ~TS

wow, I picked a good night for some amazing photography to critique!  This included, is  quite effective.  Wonderful detail in the foreground,  perfectly blurred water movement.   I could almost stand a bit more saturation in the sky, just to punch the colors up a bit.  I think the sky is dramatic enough to take it.

Ahh, sexy and seductive. This is automotive art.   Two thumbs up!

You know, this is a beautiful machine but a few tips for automotive photography.  (I have done calendar and automotive magazine work)  For a portrait like this, hood down.  Also, the other vehicles pull the attention from the subject. Note how the edge of the green fender is missing by cropping out the yellow car.

What I like, the angle (POV) you chose is flawless, and the brick pavers make for incredibly wonderful location to shoot a vehicle.

Sure, I'll go first :)    This image is a PLEASURE to view.  I really enjoy the foreground shapes, and how the rock in the lower right anchors this photograph.   If only a slight nit, my eye is seeking to find the right edge of the foreground pool to complete the circle.  

Very catchy.  Dramatic colors and dusk lighting.  Well done

~Regards, Tom~

absolutely perfect.  Interesting shapes and lines everywhere, begs the eye to explore.    The largest sunflower facing the viewer @ 1/3 from bottom seems to be where my eye tends to rest. 

I'll go first!  Good grief, this is awesome.  Nice lighting, very soft and balanced.  Silky smooooth water..lush vegetation.  If I had any nit at all,  might be some lens distortion which appears to compress the scene (lower right)   Then again I could be wrong about that. 

I think its a brilliant shot overall, my only nit being the distant background is too sharp and a minor distraction. Maybee add a bit more saturation to the green foliage?  I like it.....
