It looks like a piece of blown glass work and pasted over the Hubble 'Galaxies' picture. ???

Straight out of 'Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy'  ;)

Siamak,

  I have looked at three of your latest photos and they show a common factor:  They all show framing, and or compositional problems.  You shots are technically very good, and the subjects as well...they just need a little more thought put into them before pressing that shutter button.  

Subjects centered.  The shadows, which would give indication of where this couple were heading is cropped off.  In my opinion framing that couple to the left and upwards (so as to get the shadows), as well as leaving more space downwards and to the right would make for a picture with a story.

As it stands...just a snapshot.

Es sólo una instantánea de todos los días. No se puede hacer mucho con esto. Inténtelo de nuevo y prestar más atención a la composición.

If the right 1/3 of the picture were cropped out I believe this picture would be closer to great.  The rays of light emanating from the clouds are the key.

I am great admirer of Chinese, and Japanese gardens.  Somehow this 'çover' as transitioned one into a stylized Pizza Hut.  Don't get me wrong it is technically very well executed.  Its just that the technique executes the garden!  ;)

...to be nearly perfect.  Well done.  I would frame it.

Now I would disagree about that little vertical white cloud.  I would crop it it out because it only draws the eye away from the main subject(s).  In addition that extra info on the right unbalances an otherwise beautiful shot.

Needs some cropping.From the left all the way to the first lower bush in the middle ground.  From the right to just inside the right edge of the small puddle.  This would eliminate the unnecessary clouds and extra foliage on that side.  By cropping out the right edge of the puddle it gives the illusion of continuing onward, and emphasizes the diagonal line up o the lone trees on the left which themselves are a component of the strong horizontal of the falls.  Lastly, crop down from the top to nearly, or actually touching the top of the Left tree.  Those clouds and sky add nothing to the pick, and the further cropping will move your horizon up nicely.

My opinion at any rate. ;)  But I like the subject matter and composition a lot.

I exploded that pic opened in PS and put a horizontal line across the pic.  You are correct technically the box it level, BUT only if viewed with a blank background.  The table top, and particularly the legs cause the illusion that nothing is really level.   Perhaps (if you want to keep the same viewing angle you could move the camera forward enough to crop out the leg below the table level.  This would help, I tried it by actually cropping the pic.  Personally I would move the box around and my position such that only the one more centered leg came into the shot.  It is more vertical and interferes with the reflection much less.

As for the color thing, that is my subjective opinion only.  You might go ahead and try the B/W, or better still  a duo-tone.

ohhhhh, if only it weren't centered!

Superbly done! Kudos.

Need to get rid of the tan lines!!!!!!!!

I am rather liking the exploding head effect...complete with spreading cloud...mushroom it is assumed.

A rather intriguing shot.

Hay un matiz azul generalizado que distraiga ... en mi opinion.

First the whole picture seems/is tilted.  Secondly, and this is my subjective view, is that since it appears the box is the subject, then the wood should have a rich natural glow that would set it apart from the gray/charcoal-ish background and table.

I like the concept, and think it is definitely worthy of a thorough retake.

Nothing to critique that I can see. And all I have to say about it this:  If I had a print of it, I would hang it!

Spectacular shot. I wish the highlights were brought up a bit and the sharpness was were better.

Truly statuesque!  There does seem to be too much 'smoothing' for my tastes though.  May not be the case in an enlarged version.  One last thing the far right background doesn't add to the pic, could be cropped all the way into the outer edge of the back trees roots I believe.  Nice though.

a pair of the stair steps and a potion of the door and frame seem to be blown out.

Too much light on her left side. Portions of cheek and neck are blown out.

...but I would gladly hang this one.  And I would do it exactly as Leon suggested.  Well done!

My problem with this shot is the background.  Opening up and blurring it more would make this a 'keeper'.
