I'm glad you had a chance to enjoy one of Kirsten's wonderful setups. We admire her ability to find and add beautiful backgrounds and interesting objects. |

It is fun to see someone doing sports on a Sunday! This looks like a successful intentional motion blur. I can see how sharp the skier's face is. I love the motion of the arms and ski poles. The white areas behind the skier's head are both a distraction for me as well as a means of returning my eye to the skier, thereby reinforcing the skier as the main subject. You might want to consider brightening the entire image. |

What a great setup with all the elements of an interesting scene! I especially like the text of Sunday. How nice of you to incorporate the assigned subject like that! The sharpness of the rolls makes them pop out at me and say, "eat me!" Your choice of soft side-lighting emphasizes their roundness and makes them look even more delicious. Love your choices for the background flowers and wall, too. |

Another "cup of coffee (tea)" photo but without the cup, just the activity surrounding it on a Sunday! I laughed when I read yet another person does that! I don't drink coffee or tea, so I forget people even do that on any day! I was happy to see the feeder because it sets the scene for me. I like the white vignette which makes the green stroke "frame" even prettier. I have the same depth of field problem with my flower photos. I've tried all sorts of combinations of aperture-shutter speed-ISO and lenses but still haven't found something that works every time. Good luck with that! |

Taking a nap is a great use of a Sunday. To me, this picture looks like I could spend all day Sunday petting the kitty! Two great activities for a Sunday! I think the diagonal-ness of the cat and basket is a good thing. The soft lighting compliments the white fur and basket. You might consider sharpening just the eyes. |

I like the directness of your image - leisurely reading with a handy beverage. No distractions. The "yellow" color looks like a natural indoor scene next to a lamp and doesn't bother me. Your story about the ipad is an added element of interest. It was especially fun to be able to read the words and see what he was reading. |

I think the darkness of the cup shows that you get up EARLY. I'm surprised that my eye went straight to the coffee, because it is the darkest area of the photo...just the opposite of going to the brightest area! The photo is like a great advertisement for "coffee"! I think a finishing touch would be to clone away the bright green things in the upper left corner. On the other hand, you could darken all the bright areas and lighten the dark areas using the Adjustment Brush in Photoshop or Lightroom. |

Yes, totally iphone camera. I have a 2020 iphone SE. I think the photo quality is supposed to be like an iphone 11. But even my old iphone SE took (and takes) great photos. I rarely have to open Snapseed or any of the zillion other photo apps I have! I just tap EDIT and maybe crop or vignette a little. |
