They are often used to indicate whole seconds rather than fractions of seconds. |

I would not use dodge and burn - I have used curves pulling the centre spot down diagonally to get the grass tone, then increased the saturation of the lavender to make more prominent. With the stronger outdoor colours the pole and wires became more prominent so they were cloned out as was the bucket. I also as suggested cropped off some of the boards above the door. |

Man-made snow is something we will probably see more of with the climate warming up, going into the European Alps during the summer one can see large numbers of snow canon and special water reservoirs ready to ensure that they will have a good long ski season. The kids look as though they are really enjoying themselves sledging on the inflated tubes like tyre inner tubes. There is an excellent impression of speed of movement. I feel that the blue tinge to the shadow area in front of the tubes would be better neutralised. |

A simple but very effective image. I like the 2 opposing diagonal type events of the stems under water and the lily and its shadow, and the strong colour/tone contrast between the lily flower and its dark shadow. Like Lauren I would have eliminated the light area top left and possibly the stems under the shadow of the leaves. |

I like this simple table top image, with the cup and saucer placed on both the diagonal and the intersection of the thirds - a strong position. Well done in getting all of the elements sharp as there was quite a depth between the rim of the cup and the newspaper.
1:1 Macro means that the size of the image recorded on the sensor is exactly the same as the original object. A 1:2 means that the size recored on the sensor is half of that of the subject; 1:8 means it is an eight of the size of the subject. Your lens therefore records something 17 inches long as 1 inch on the sensor. Many macro lens have a scale on them which indicates the size ratio as you go in or out from the subject. |

Your cameras HDR has made a very good job of the interior of the building, and a acceptable rendition of the lavender field behind. I assume that the camera only recorded one file of the image, because if it had records the component images as well I would suggest the one of those which gave a slightly darker version of the lavender rows was stacked with the HDR image. I would be inclined to crop the boards above the door off, as this would remove the light coming from between them. I also feel that a little dodging and burning on the floor and cloning out the bucket on the left would strengthen the image.

I can see what you were trying to achieve, with the bee approaching the flower. I feel that you crop of the flower is appropriated appreciate that it is very difficult to get the bee to be in the perfect position for the image. The main difficulty of this type of image is that the black of the bee usually does not reveal a lot of detail, because unless the sunlight is almost behind you the bee needs about a couple of stops of extra exposure to bring up its hair detail. |

Your treatment has created a very effective image. The rotation of the light beams would make having single longish exposure completely destroy the dark sky and the stars, so making a composite was essential, so that the position of the beam could appear to be at one point in time. Usually the the rotating lens has 4 fresnel type lens to control the beam and often the land side of the lamp shielded to prevent the beam going in land. I would have preferred there to only have one beam shining towards you rather than 2 of the beams. I like your use of the square format with the milky way sloping down and across. |
