Mike, you have created a very nice image here. The silhouette is wonderful and my eye is led nicely through the image to experience the silhouette and the hues of the setting sun. In my humble opinion, it is fine like it is. Well done. |

Judith, the Robin is the star and look quite nice, sharp, focused and color rich. I think of two things in looking at your image. The white snow is close to blown out on my monitor and pulls my eye away from the bird. Also, I think you need less tree branches to tell the story so that they don't detract. Here is a case where more is not better, in my opinion. |

All I can say is amazing. That sure tells quite a story and the composition really works. I can say no more then that your edited version really presents this story well and completely with wonderful DOF, color, interest, sharpness and clarity. Well done. |

Lisa, I think your image has interest for the geometrics of these plants offer us. I feel that the image is very flat and need to pop and expose the subject more sharply. It needs some increase contrast, in my opinion and to be brightened some. Judith, I think is on the right track. Her suggestion seems to bright and this kind of subject pops out from the background if the background is darkened some using various combinations of tone curve as well as slight vignette to tone down everything but the brightened and sharpened subject. I suggest using care so that the bud on the left complements and does not try to take away the viewers attention on the main subject. |

Lovely image, Carol. I think you have created a wonderful piece that is well exposed with wonderful color and tonality in my opinion. It does provide for me an artistic perspective vs. the traditional purist photograph. In part your using f/20 might have offered a little lens defraction that gives it a bit of painterly feel. You picked a nice location on the Snake River to capture this image and garner the reflection. I sense there might be some early morning minor mist/haze effect, but I see that more in the reflection in the center then elsewhere on the water. I am not sure about that. All in all a nice piece and I like it. |

It is a wonderful image with lots of detail, story and color harmony. It works nicely. My only suggestion is to tone down the foreground blur for it is tad distracting. |

Judith, that is hard to say. I was paying less attention to how close I was since I had no control of that. Rather I paid attention to if I could get enough of the birds in the frame to fill the frame or to crop seeing enough to tell the story. I suspect that I ranged during the morning on the boat any where from a few hundred feet to 50 feet with a good many of my shots such as this one being in the 50 to 100 or a bit more (I think) feet away. |

Stan, it is an interesting scene. Your f9 work nicely, I think. BTW, recently I try unless circumstances dictate otherwise to shot landscapes at f/13 a lot and definitely never beyond f/16 to avoid lens defraction. Anyway, I am trying to get a sense of the foreground elements complementing the background and some how the angle of view thwarts that. My eye gets hung up on the right side of the frame where the elements there (1) seeing past structure to the distance in that sliver of space at the edge of the frame and (2) the seeming tilt of the structure at that location. Regarding tonality it works for me although the white at first seemed to hold me from looking beyond. That creates an interesting tension. |

Jerry, you have controlled light wonderfully in this image. I think after some looking and thinking about this image, I like the way you have presented it. At first I was more attuned to saying I would prefer the lines being straight, but I actually think you have effectively provided us wonderful image as presented where my eye just loves to play amount the lights and darks. |

Stuart, I like you images depth and tone. I too would never have noticed the human form at the end of the tunnel without being told. That definitely adds to the story. My concern is without the text the brightness at the end of the tunnel almost distracts rather then add that piece of information. I suggest seeing if you can reduce the brightness (Highlights) and still give emphasis to the forms at the end as seen in the original where the definition of that form is more pleasing.
Nice image. |

My goodness, Abhijeet, there is so much to capture within your unique point of view of this street scene. I like your perspective with the feet in the foreground that leads my eye into and around within the frame as my takes in this environmental portrait of the man taking his nap. There is a grittiness along with peaceful solitude of this fellow among his stuff. The hooks on the left are so nice and sharp and it makes the viewer want to know more. Well done. BTW, the tonality is wonderful. |

Wonderful Image. I like it it lot. I have just one small nit. It seems like a vignette is adding more darkness in the corners then my eye seeks. It just enough to be distracting, I think at the edges and corners of the frame. Perhaps reduce that some. |

You have an interesting point of view for these bluebells. I think the flowers look sharp and are placed pleasingly in the frame. I believe there is something that the overall image lack to capture attention enough and with some thought, I believe it is missing some brightness. I also wonder if a variation with a slight shift in the drop of the bluebells so that they are rotated a slight amount after moving to the left might add a little tension and balance to get them straight out of the middle along with my suggested brightness. Overall nice image and well worth study for possibilities. |
