Arik, through this photograph you have captured more of a feeling than an image. I like the way you rendered a peaceful, safe moment. Beautiful too. |

Melanie, to take a portrait of a tree is challenging. Yours is an elderly tree that welcomes the viewer to compare it to photographs of the weathered faces of elderly people. You captured this equivalence. My only comment has to do with the separation between the ground and the leftside branches of the tree. But that's essential to the image? |

Jack I can see why you took this photo, especially in IR. Ancient temples have a profound presence. They arouse basic questions about religions and why humanity needs them. I like the contrast between the natural feel of the trees and how they stand against the stern darkness of the temple. You brought this out wonderfully. |

Great suggestions Arik. I have to learn how to use more of the features in ACR. |

Thanks Emil, you moved the needle. This is one of those images that seduce you to take it, only to find out later that it imposes a lot of constrictions on composition, especially definition of the primary subject. |

Henry, I have a mixed reaction to this image. The tonality and lighting is splendid, and the composition is intriguing, but my eye has a little trouble integrating the stone figure. It is interesting on its own, but . . ., can't put my finger on it. |

Emil, such a graceful delicate tree. It is a challenge to take a portrait of a tree, but in this case, you have succeeded. How you managed the light in post processing gave life and beauty to this image. Very nice. |

Steve, we are so lucky to have such interesting geography in the western part of the country. Like the face of an old man, these rock features tell stories, stories about origins of the earth that go back in time, so far it is impossible to comprehend. With this image you have documented this story telling. I like the wispy sky and how it contrasts with textures in Shiprock. I can't add much except to suggest maybe working on the highlights in the Shiprock to render more dynamic contrasts. |

Sanat, this image is well composed. Although it has a lot elements, its center is obvious. You capatured the clouds and sky nicely. The popping through adds power, however, it is a bit overexposed. Perhaps you can select it and reduce the luminosity. |

Brian, this photo pops, it has power. Lots of candy for the eye. And it tells a dramatic story. I can't suggest much other than to maybe darken the sky a bit and do what you can to increase the contrast within the explosive wave. High marks! |

Don, excellent cropping. You rendered a very fetching abstract pattern. I like the colored version, but can see the purity in Stephen's B&W. |

Quang, wow, you captured the energy in that surf. Shutter speed was spot on. I also like how you brought out the blue and aqua tones in the sea water. |

Brian, compared to the original, you masterfully brought out the colors in the final version. Here's a sinful suggestion: select that magnificient bird, enlarge it, and place it closer to the horizon. |

Mark, love the umbrellas, and I agree with Brian's suggestion. You might experiment with cropping too |
