22 Aug 19 Comment I really love this waterfall and the way you have captured the flow. It is extremely sharp and very pleasant to view. However, if there was one suggestion I would make would be to focus in a little more on the subject - - the waterfall. I found myself roaming all around the image rather than really concentrating on the main attraction. I took your image and cropped it a bit and then added a little saturation. See what you think?

22 Aug 19 Comment This one loses me a little bit because the face of the flowers are turned away from the lens. I think it may have been more powerful if the camera had been positioned to the right several feet to take on the flowers themselves and perhaps isolate a few of them rather than take a broadcast of several stems of sunflowers. I am distracted a little bit by the roof in the background as well. The subject just is not jump out at me. Aug 12th
22 Aug 19 Comment I really like the formation and it reminds me of some of the elements of Arches National Park just with a different rock composition. I think the way you photographed this composition gives it great depth, but I'm curious what it would look like if you had moved five or 10 feet to the left. That may have been a less dramatic view. The texture of the rock is very interesting as is the flow of the formation. Not much to suggest on this one except perhaps a bit of color saturation missing because of the cloudy day. Nice shot.

22 Aug 19 Comment I tried to do this last year with an eclipse I stayed up all night to shoot but it didn't turn out nearly as sharp as this one. A very good portrayal. I'm curious what camera and lenses you are using to get this. The images are very sharp. This should be a classroom poster. Aug 12th
22 Aug 19 Comment I think this is an exceptionally well done butterfly. I don't think I've seen this one before and when I first glanced at it I thought part of the image was of stone. Great clarity and sharpness. It would've been very difficult to place this a bit off center with the flowers so close on the right, but that is about my only comment - - it would look just a bit better if it'd been a bit more off-center. Super colors. Even the hairs on the lower body are precise. Excellent job. Aug 12th
22 Aug 19 Comment Very nice. We spend the winter in Arizona and I've been to the national Park many many times. I think you've done an excellent job on this sunset image. The position of the sun is perfect. I also very much like the way you have brought out the details in the vegetation rather than turn it into a silhouette. The saguaros are by far my favorite flora only because each one is so unique. You have captured many different ones and sizes in this image. Very pleasing to look at Aug 12th
