Hi Pete, yes understood the technical difficulties but I was just saying a tad less noise reduction ie some residual grain would be better on the riders as for me, they look over-denoised |

Thanks Sophia, always appreciate your comments! The eye had a lot of dodging already and in their natural state, the eyes don't stand out much. Cheers! |

Thanks Pete, I can see the crop of course but not so sure about that, just feels a little cramped to me. I get the idea of more contrast between the penguin and the background and not sure what you did there. I like the idea which I would probably do be lightening the background. Thanks for your imput! |

You definitely have captured a wonderful family moment. I think the story is more about Penny and the bond she has with Nat who is clearly focussed on the potting. Magic moment!!
I think cropping of most of what is below the line of the bottom of the pot would remove a lot of image that doesn't tell much of a story. And because I think Penny is so key to the image, I would give her more space. |

This portrait immediately grabs my attention with that intense, direct gaze. There is a wonderful sense of character here, having caught a musician mid-song. The motion blurr in his right hand all adds to the effect
Compositionally the diagonal line created by the neck of his instrument acts as a strong leading line that draws the viewer's eye straight up to the face. I like the low position you have adopted shooting him. I think you could loosen the crop a little without introducing unwanted background distractions.
I like your re-edit which also deals with the thing that worried me the most...his oversaturated eyes (despite the image title). I think you are definitely on song with this! |

Hi Pete this is a real adrenaline rush and very compelling. You got this at just the right moment. Thanks for convincing me I never want to do this!
Shooting this a night definitely adds to the drama due to the black sky at the cost of some noise. I think this is a good compromise but maybe use less noise reduction as it has removed all the texture giving the people a cartoonish look. |

This image creates a sense of stillness to my mind. It feels like a crisp, quiet winter day where the only sound might be the water moving slowly. The water acts as a clear path inviting me to look deeper into the woods.
You have positioned the trees to create a natural frame, guiding the eye straight down the middle of the water. The reflections add symmetry suggesting a place of rest.
I would suggest slightly increasing the contrast or dropping the blacks just a touch to give the trees more definition against the sky. |

Hi Natalia, lovely to see you daughter in another shot. You must be very proud of her.
My first impression was that she seems quite distracted or living in an inner moment. Is she playing the keyboard? It seems like a posed shot with her finger on a key. I would love it more if she was either engaged with the piano or the photographer and less distant. |

Hi Susan, cracker image and the key elements, especially the black sails and black and orange hull add a lot of drama. I think the background of spectator boats add to the nature of the image and its story and tells us this was near the finish and confirmed by the helicopter.
Sorry to be late with my comments but I am not seeing much scope for cropping especially as I would want to retain the helicopter. |
