Please don't feel down. You captured a strong image. With images like this, you do not have time to stop and think through every possible approach. It's easy to look back and say, "What if I had done this?" At the time, a few moments and the scene would be gone. |

Thank you for your review. Yes, I could have gone either way. I chose the direction in which I went so that you would see the tree without the distraction of more reflection in the background. Also, I usually place my subject on the right side of the image when possible, due to the fact in most cultures people read from left to right and their eyes are trained to naturally move in that direction. I don't want to place a large, or important element on the left and block the eyes at that point. I want the eyes to have room to enter the image and move around. |

This image cried out for B&W. The original color image is well composed, but my eyes seem to look for color variations and pass over the details if the scene. In B&W, my eyes look for textures and tones. The gnarled tree truck becomes the main subject for me. I, too love good B&W.
Some years ago (many) I attended an out door art show. I walked into one booth divided between color and B&W Photographic prints. I approached the photographer and asked, "Do you sell many B&W prints?" He sort of looked down his nose at me and replied, "Tourist buy color, collectors buy B&W." |

Sometimes we wish to have a different camera set up with us, when what we have can do the job. What you had did the job. This image carries greater impact than it would have in color. While I like the image as presented, I wonder if turning the camera a little to the left so that the woman and the horse moved down toward the lower right might have brought in more foot and hoof prints to form a leading line and place the subject more off center. Although, if I saw it, maybe I would not think it to be as strong an image as this. Just a thought. |

I think I understand what you were going for. If so, well done. But, the bright area at the bottom right of the image catches my eyes first, and I have to work to break free to see the rest of the image. Easy fix in LR or PS. |

It is a lovely portrait of a beautiful daughter. The direction of light, natural expression on the face, and B&W presentation create a peaceful feeling. I would like to see an indication of your process. |

What a great way to keep your wife happy. I like the square crop and the centered image. It works well for this subject. The DoF is enough to place the flowers in their setting while not being sharpe enough to to let the mulch distract from the plant. |

Very nice. I can only imagine the skill required to record this image. Still, I would like to see a little more room in front of the bird to allow space for it to fly into. Did you fill the frame, or crop? |

Thank you for your review. I too love B&W and will try a B&W conversion of the image. |
