Thank you all for your comments. This photo was more of a quick snapshot taken during a hike rather than a planned shoot. I'll review the image again and consider everyone's comments. Thanks again! |

Hi Adi. I like how the tree serves as the main focal point, and the mountains add a nice sense of depth. The crop and the sky work for me since the clouds are visually interesting. However the tree branch brushing the edge of the frame is distracting to me and would suggest removing it. |

Hi Bill. What a great image especially with Halloween - or Samhain, as it's known in Ireland - right around the corner. For me, you captured the eerie vibe of a haunted asylum with the black and white conversion. BTW, do they offer paranormal tours..it would be very interesting if they did. |

Hi Gokul. The hardest part of a scene like this is that it looks amazing in person but is tough to capture well in a photo. As a documentary photo, it shows the story of place. The orange sunset is beautiful and reflects on the water. However for me, my eye stays focused on the sun and the small group of birds while everything else competes for attention. Zooming in tighter on your subject may give you a more compelling and simpler photo. |

Hi Grace. A circular fisheye lens was never on my list of lenses to try, but I have to admit it's probably a lot of fun to experiment with. The bridge is perfectly centered, making it a strong focal point. I like how the curve of the bridge cables and the trees in the background help to create a nice flow. However for me, the lighting feels flat. Possibly consider a bit more contrast to give it more pop. Nice job. |

Hi Michael. The colors alone make this image captivating. The golden light illuminating the mountain peaks blends nicely with the clear blue sky. The subtle orange reflections is also a nice complement to the image. The image is sharp and the mountain ridges on both the right and left naturally draw my eye toward the central area where the light hits the mountain. My only suggestion would be to brighten the white at the base of the mountains to create a stronger leading line toward the gold tinted peaks. There is a also small branch on the right side that I would recommend removing. Like Larry, I feel the foreground rocks don't contribute much to the composition. Very nice! |

Hi Larry. I believe this is my favorite cityscape that you've posted. The composition is well balanced with engaging visual elements spread evenly so my eye isn't drawn to just one area. The sky adds just enough interest without overpowering the subject. The colors and lights are nicely distributed, and the green tree tops in the foreground add great texture and a nice sense of place. The image appears sharp on my screen which also helps to hold my attention. Very nice. |

Thanks Kirsti. I agree that wildlife images often feature predator behavior, survival, or death and this is natural part of life. However I prefer the softer side of nature. |

It definitely has a more natural feel when flipped. |

Thanks Jeff. My intention was to make the bear stand out from the background however, I will revisit the image to see if a slightly darker background improves the image. |

Hi Al. What a fantastic pose for this majestic creature and nicely framed image. The way he's lifting his head and positioning his legs really shows off his confidence, power, and control. I would love to see this image in color - it would probably make the bull elk even more striking. Great capture! |

Hi Kirsti. Nice creative eye. I really like how unusual details can grab a photographer's attention. Composition-wise, I'd personally crop a bit off the right side to cut out some of those tires - they are less visually interesting compared to the ones on the left and the brightness draws my eye away from the tools. Since the light is coming from the left, I'd recommend darkening the tires on the right so they don't draw attention away from the subject. At the same time brighten the tires on the left only where the light hits to naturally guide the eye toward the tools. |

Hi Jeff. For me, the wire is what completes the image. I appreciate how the mountains fade at different levels, creating a natural layering effect. Without the wire, the building corner on the right would feel unbalanced to me. Nice job!

Hi Ed. Technical excellence is always important to me in a photo, but in photojournalism, emotion and storytelling come first with technical quality coming second. I think you captured the storytelling perfectly in this shot. Great capture. |

Hi Doug. I like quirky spots with unique items to capture. I feel everything important has already been expressed. With that in mind, Ed's version suits me best since it keeps my focus centered. While the fern is attractive, it competes too much for my attention. |
