Your treatment has really simplified things and I love the minimalist effect. I like how you have weighted the composition more towards the bottom. What I like best is the way the main flower radiates towards the viewer bursting out of the pack- that provides great impact. Another great phone pic which confirms what I learned from my favourite educator, Australian Emeritus Professor Desmond Crawley, that the camera is merely a photo copier and its not the camera that matters. It is the thought, visualisation and craft before during and after the exposure that goes in to creating the image with the emphasis on 'creating'. |

The whites are clean and the blacks deep providing massive contrast which provides great impact. The placement of the centre of the 5 point star shape right on the top left intersecting third works well composition wise. I can't help but wonder (purely for balance) if you could have included a little bit more of whats below the centre of the large 5 pointer bottom right but on the other hand the V shape it makes leads right to that one on the left intersection which is a very strong focal point. I can visualize this framed and hanging on a wall and looking stunning with the right decor. |

I note its a smart phone pic- what great detail it has captured almost like an illustration. The tonal range is fabulous and I attribute that a lot to the time of day you shot which is a great time to be out with a camera. The large church on right and two smaller ones on left provide a nice balance and add to the framing as do the clouds linking the spires. As for softer on the clouds/ sky; I concur with the others. Overall a lovely composition which holds my attention for a long time. |

Composition works well in the square format and the branches frame the heron nicely. The thing that strikes me most is the contrast of balance. The tree has little round dangly things so delicate which contrast with the bulk and gangliness of the bird, both of which it supports without any sense of strain. Perhaps one stop less exposure would render greater detail in the shadow areas on the bird's undercarriage. I use 'AI servo' auto focus mode to track moving subjects. Once you lock your focus on to the subject and as long as you hold shutter down half way it will continue to hold focus as the subject moves. |

It is an interesting environmental study and lugubrious is definitely the right description (I now know this as I had to look the word up and so for an avid reader, this was a bonus). I feel rain is about to sweep in and so the body language and slight blur of human and dog suggest they are hurrying along to avoid a drenching. As for the turbines; it is what it is and I think just adds another level of interest. |

I saw the dinosaur straight up and immediately thought paleolithic & monolithic and so drew a stone age connection there so if that was the aim you succeeded. The wire fence though does'nt fit with that theme so given you cant crop it out without losing the dinosaur's arm, a step to the right to hide it behind said arm would have been desirable. (lower viewpoint even?) Full marks for having a go at presenting a different viewpoint of the iconic rock. Tones, density and contrast have all been handled well. I find a crop on the right makes the dinosaur more prominent and the composition stronger. |
