Hi Mary Ann,
You have captured a beautiful moment when the ocean waves crashed at the rocks, spraying water into the air and the pelicans were flying very low at the scene. The birds are sharp and stand out against the water.
Regarding the crop, I'd prefer a tighter crop on the L close to the rocks in middle row and on the R to eliminate the small wave at the low right corner. With that crop, I think that when the viewers' eyes go from L to R will focus on the main point of interest, which is the spray of water and the pelicans. Thanks for sharing! |

Hi Robert,
Your image of the Zion National Park is beautiful! The inclusion of the wild flowers on the foreground adds more interest to the scene. I like the different shapes and colors of the rocks, and the blue sky also complements the overall picture. You can consider to do sky replacement, as Michael's suggestion (if it's not for nature competition) to make it more beautiful.
I'd prefer to brighten the rocks on the right side that are covered by shadows a bit more or to crop it off since the left side has more interesting elements. Nice shot! |

Hi Michael,
When I look at a photograph, I always want to learn more about its historical context. I always included that kind of information in my submitted images: where is it located? who designed it? etc… I hope that everyone will do the same in the future, if possible. |

Thanks for your comments, David! I agree that a square crop might look better. |

Hi Michael,
I like your creativity but I think the lighter texture might work better. |

Hi Joan,
The yellow poppies are so beautiful! The flowers are very sharp, and the clean background makes them stand out more.
The two poppies are at different heights which produce a visually pleasing composition, and I don't think that you need to follow the rules of odds to produce a more interesting one.
I'd prefer to remove the bulb that touches the right edge of the frame, if possible. Nice image! |

Hi Ruth,
I love to see your beautiful images captured in Colorado. They are different than others I have seen online.
I think that the time you visited the Cottonwood Pass (just after an early snowfall) is also the best time. It offers all the the beautiful elements for a nature photography: the drama clouds on the top of the mountains, the water reflection, and the snow in the foreground.
I'd prefer to brigten the hills with the trees in the middle ground a bit more to make the trees more visible. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Michael,
The mushroom is beautiful with the lacy edges around its cap! The composition works well with the mushroom as the main point of interest.
In my personal opinion, the textures that contain some vertical plants in it, are a bit distracting and the colors have become subdued.
I'd prefer to bring back the vibrant color of the mushroom to grab the viewers' attention. Thanks for sharing! |

Hi David,
It's great that you spotted this rusty car when you passed by a farm on a road trip. As it's the only car on the scene, you've got the benefits that its background does not contain other distracting elements, such as it's in the car graveyard. You captured it with a good exposure, and you were able to avoid the shininess of its light colored paintwork and the windscreen.
Based on the remaining letters of the car logo (A, S) and emblem on the hood (double wings), I guess that it's a 1930s Austin Seven car. I found one interesting point that this rusty car was still chained to the pole.
I'd prefer to crop tighter as Michael's suggestion to make the viewers focus on the rusty car. Other than that, it's a nice shot! |

Thanks for your comments, Steven! I also find that using the iphone for sunrise shooting at the beach is much more convenient than using my SLR. I don't have to carry the tripod while strolling along the beach and I do not have any concerns that sand can scratch my lenses or jam my camera buttons or getting inside my camera body.

Thanks for your comments, Jack! There is not much difference between the original image and the one submitted above. I did take a series of shots a few minutes before but I like this one the most because of the incoming waves, and the light of the rising sun is not too dark or too bright. |

Hi Pat,
You've captured a fun image! When I just saw it, I thought that you captured a row of chenille firetail plants. The back of the line is a bit too dark and the facial details of 5 people on the left have been lost. Steven's edited version has brought out the balance of the light for the whole scene.
I'd prefer either to see the feet of the person on the front row, or to crop tighter between the 1st shoe on the right and the stage light. Thanks for sharing! |

Hi Wayne,
You have captured a very interesting image! The way you designed all the elements through your phone is well done. The downed tree has some lacy branches that crisscrossed and formed a nice frame. The rising sun with drama clouds, the beach with some coming waves, and the silhouette of the walkers at the center of interest all add up.
At first, I thought that there was only one person then I found that there were 3 legs. I wish to see clearly 2 people walking but it's not an issue to me since they are silhouettes. Walking to the left gives the feeling of coming home, so I don't think you need to flip it. Nice shot! |

Hi Ruth,
It looks like Buttercup knows how to pose for your photo! She outstretches her claw as a gentle gesture of content. Although her ears are a bit soft, her eyes are sharp and she also makes eye contact with your camera that grab the viewers' attention. The green mat and her toy complement her fur color patterns.
I'd prefer to use the Healing tool in Snapseed to fill the left low corner in green since a small brown triangle makes my eyes going back there.
Adding a light frame makes it a nice portrait. You should print and hang it on the wall. Thanks for sharing! |

Hi Steven,
The diagonal lines of the sand are pleasing to the eyes. By reading the title, at first, I guess that your image was captured by drone, then I found that there is a shoe in the original image, so I think that you have captured it from the top down. It does give a fresh perspective on the subject.
I'd prefer to keep the image in color because the sunrise light is so beautiful. I'd also prefer to include the lines that crossing the vertical lines to get a more dynamic view. Thanks for sharing! |

Hi Jack,
Your image has a strong impact to the viewers. It brings tears to my eyes. The seller did not take shelter when the rain was so heavily. He walked in the middle of the street with the umbrellas and raincoats in his arms hoping to sell them fast in this bizarre situation. The purple color of the seller's raincoat and the green one in his arm stand out from the rainy background. The image is a strong story-telling one.
I wish to see the seller's right arm in full but I understand that it's hard to achieve in this situation. I am curious to know where you were at to get that shot? Great photojournalism shot! |
