26 Feb 20 Comment The picture tells a nice story, and I agree with you (and others) that it's better to have the boy looking at his flock (and not into the camera). The colors are right, as well as the composition, with the main subject really prominent in the frame. As Mervyn has suggested, I would remove the sheep that looks like popping out of his hand. It's the only suggestion I have. Feb 12th

26 Feb 20 Comment This photo reminded me of Caravaggio and his dramatic use of lighting. You captured her in a perfect pose, and the light from one source brings the needed mood to the image. I agree with you that the vignette is overdone, specially on the lower left corner where one expects to see more light coming from above and right. For the rest, no need to experiment with fancy filters: just keep the original tones. Feb 12th
26 Feb 20 Comment The photo has very interesting components, starting with the fall colors on the ground, complemented by the dark figure and her pose. I normally try to fill the frame. In this case, however, I would have preferred to see her as a smaller element within a picture, in a way lost in the park. With the photo as it is, I would like to see more separation between the woman and the tree; eventually, you can try to add some space between them and clone some leaves to fill the gap. Feb 12th
26 Feb 20 Comment The photo tells a good story about the Christmas markets in Germany and Austria. Everything contributes to bring the viewer into the action: the smoke, the vendor carving the meat, the couple looking at him. Because this is a Christmas scene, I would emphasize it making the ornaments at the top more prominent (increasing their exposure). I'm not bothered by the text behind the carver, since it brings some context. However, I would crop from the left to eliminate the letters (SV, HO) and concentrate more on the main subject. Feb 12th
26 Feb 20 Comment This is a nice and sharp rendition of the peacock feathers. Technically, I don't have anything to object. But as others have said, the image lacks a focal point. Maybe there are too many repeating elements. I tried different ways of heavily cropping the image (for instance, just the top left quarter) and got some interesting results, almost abstracts. You have enough resolution to go closer. Feb 12th
