Hi Kamal. I love the angle you have chosen for this image. The lower vantage point makes the helicopter stand out and emphasizes the texture of the grass leading up to it. I agree with Greg's suggestion about cloning out the branches on the right which don't add anything, and lead the viewer's eye out of the frame. Your placement of the helicopter in the frame, though, is perfect with the diagonal crossing of the blades and sprinkling of fluffy clouds in the sky. |

Hi Erin. I also love Colonial Williamsburg. but haven't been back there since I became serious about photography - you've inspired me to put it on my list! I love your composition with the buildings moving diagonally into the distance and the tree on the left framing the scene. I like the richness of the color in Greg's edit and think it does give the photo significantly more "punch," although I would probably lighten the sky a little to put more emphasis on the color in the buildings. My only other suggestion would be to clone out the brown blob on the sidewalk in front of the second tree. Good luck in your competition!

This a classic well-done architectural composition, using the perspective lines to lead the viewer into the distance. You have done an excellent job of making the verticals vertical and the black/white conversion is very effective, especially in the sky which now adds some drama that didn't exist in the original. I like the way you have cropped out the street with the parked cars. If it were mine, I might also try cropping some off the left dark side, or lightening it just a touch to show some more detail. You've done an excellent job on your photo walk! |

Hi Greg. You've created another nice grid composite highlighting a series of images taken on the Caye. Each of the individual bird portraits would stand on its own. I especially like the bird in the middle of the bottom line. You appear to be peeking at him through the bushes and it's great the way the light is hitting him and he is framed by the branches. A few more of these grid composites and you will need to make a Caye Caulker book! |

Hi Darcy. I really like this image and the way you've created the composition with the gazebo set against the trees and the hill. I love the intimate feeling created by the placement of the gazebo and the fact that the sky isn't in the frame. My only suggestion would be to clone out the very bright spots on the right lower edge because they draw too much attention away from the main subject. |

Hi Karen. This is a great panoramic landscape, especially because of the quality of the light. Your exposure and focus are well done, and the shapes of the hills create a nice composition set off against the interesting sky. I think there would also be an excellent nonpanorama landscape just including the left 2/3 of the image. Ingrid |

Hi Rich. Your shooting through exercise has created a very dreamy feeling and I like it a lot. I love the purple against the green and the way the light is hitting the main subject . I appreciate your composition and the blurry flowers on the right add to the environment. Rather than cropping them out, it might be beneficial to just reduce their vibrance so they don't grab so much attention. |

Hi Doug. This is a very unique tulip and I like the viewpoint you have chosen to highlight its uniqueness. I have only attempted to use a lens baby once and was not happy with my results. You have achieved sharpness on the striped petals with the rest of the tulip ver soft, so if that was your goal, you have accomplished it. I agree that very saturated green background could be toned down to be less competition with the tulip. I like how you have softened the edge of the stem as it hits the frame. |

I agree with the others! This is a beautiful iris and the background you have created set it off nicely. I especially like the water droplets! |

Hi Marti. This is a beautiful rose and the yellow color is very rich. I love how the center of the bloom appears to be sitting on the flatter petals below. I actually like the variation in tone created by the shadows. It gives the rose a more 3D feeling. I wish that the flower didn't seem to be floating but it's clear from the original that the stem wasn't visible. Looks like it was a great banquet judging from the lovely floral display. |

Hi Bob. This is a beautiful Lily and I think the angle you have chosen is very effective. Your focus on the stamen is perfect and I like the zoom blur you have added to the background. I think Rich's suggestion of toning all of the background toward green is an excellent one. Although the flowers in the background are blurred, they still compete a little strongly with the subject because of their bright vivid colors. The cloudy day really helps the color of the flower to pop. |
