I enjoy this perspective and composition. Thanks for sharing.

I like the mood you've captured here...the composition really works for me, beautiful light.

Any thoughts on composition, tonality?

I like the sense of light that you've captured here, and the dreamy, ethereal quality of the picture. Thanks for sharing!

Any ideas on how I can improve upon this image? Thanks!

This one may be my favorite of all your photos. I think the rule of thirds composition works well here, and the distant mountains have a unifying effect on the entire composition. I think it's difficult to achieve this unity in a shot like this one (given the fact that each area of the photo has a strong visual interest), but you have pulled it off in stunning fashion. My only complaint is the light patch of land in the middle/left area, which I would prefer to see burned in a bit to match the rest of the land masses. Anyway, I guess you could say that this is the kind of shot I'm always looking for when I'm down on the Columbia River. Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous tones, textures, and light!

This shot caught my eye. Nice forms, great colors, beautiful natural light.

I really like this one a lot...very peaceful as opposed to the chaotic energy of your crab pot photo. Both are worthy of a larger series, in my opinion......

The liquid trees are a perfect contrast to the metal culvert. Good eye, striking photo!

I can't decide if the branch is really a necessary element of the photo. It is an interesting branch on its own, but it definitely disturbs the serenity of the overall scene...to what effect I haven't decided. I think it is worth returning to the scene to re-frame just to see what different moods you can create with various vantage points.

Great image, very mysterious, ghostlike, dreamy. I like how the window panes look like

3 repeated crosses...you've framed them well in my opinion. I think the image could be a little less crooked, but the off-kilter framing could be part of the emotional impact of the shot. Nice job.

The black line doesn't bother me, but darkening the other black line in the background might reinforce their presence in the photo.

Robert, this is a great shot...I seem to never get enough of well photographed calla lilies. My personal preference would be to bring out the highlights of the background foliage a little more, but there is also something to be said for the subtleness of the shot you posted. Keep 'em coming!

I like the fog and the low-contrast. Looking at this photo makes me feel like I'm really there. Good job!

The expressions in this photo are gripping, and the exposure looks great to me. The blown out portion in the background doesn't bother me that much, but I'm not too picky about that sort of thing if the subject is well exposed, which it is.

Robert,

I can't see a lot of graininess, but the size of your image could be the limiting factor here. I agree with Dennis, this is a very pleasing shot.
