I love the colors and softness of the water.  The only thing I am not sure about is how you used the rocks...they seem to be the focal point and while they make the shot more interesting, for me the sky/horizon line is the best part of the photo.  

Hearing the thoughts of other photographers on my work really helps me. Please take

a minute to tell me what you like and what you think I need to work on...I take all

advice seriously and use it to improve my work...thank you in advance for taking the

time to tell me what you think.

I would love to hear what you think of this one. All thoughts and advice welcome and

appreciated!

This shot was unplanned. We were sitting out on our balcony while on vacation

sipping wine for the sun set and the moon, which I did not realize was out, came into

view from behind a building. I could not pass up the opportunity to get the moon with

the amazing sunset colors.

This was taken in late April during a small flurry. This was really a run and grab your

camera moment. All thoughts and advice welcome and appreciated!

I took this one of my son while testing a new shooting location. I would love to hear

what you think! All thought and advice are very appreciated.

I love the color, light and light flares.  Nice work.

Nice shot. I am guessing this was not posed at all, but I would have loved to see her sitting so that she had a reflection in the water.

I love the colors of the bird and in the blurred background.  The composition is also nice.  I just wish the bird was in focus.  

When I look at this I can not stop wondering is this a great crop job or did he get soaked?  I love the movement in the water.  I would love to see this in color.

I would try to highlight the catch lights more in her eyes.  In lightroom, I  use the Iris enhance brush on the whole eye and then dodge brush just on the catch light for this job and if needed I use the burn brush just on the outer circle of the eye.  Next time, try to position her so that you see more light in her eyes.  

Patrick - I stand corrected, the original is not RAW - I had my infant son strapped to me that cold, winter, morning and I must not have checked my file setting before shooting as the original is a jpeg. 

Patrick - First, thanks for the CC, I really appreciate it!  Composition is usually the weak spot of my shots!  As for the color, this was taken as a RAW file, the 'intense' yellow happened when I processed this.  It was done in LR5, mostly when I removed the highlights, turned down to -78 (I usually go all the way to -100, but that made the yellow way too crazy).  I am not sure how I feel about the yellow, I like the intensity, I dislike the unnaturalness of it, but when I have put this photo out in other forums most of the feedback I get is that they love the 'look' of the color.  

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to give me some feedback on this image.

This is sunrise at Pt Lonsdale Pier in Victoria, Australia.

Thank you for the flattering feedback.  

thank you for the compliment and the welcome!

Janine - thank you for the compliment.

I like the blue tone in the original...

I am dancing the line between amateur and professional family photographer and

feedback on my work is critical in helping me continue to grow as a photographer. A

big thanks to anyone who takes the time to give me some CC. This shot is of my son

and was taken during a practice session.

I love this photo!   The only thing I do not like are the power lines - can you crop them out or get rid of them in photoshop or similar post processing program?
