Gee, thanks, Sarah. You are always so nice. Yes, I did have something like this in mind when I took the shot. I used Smart Photo Editor to add a sepia cast to the image. |

You caught the expression of the bronc rider with adequate detail and did a nice job stopping the action. Rodeos are hard to shoot because there are usually such distracting backgrounds. Even with the busy background, you managed to bring our eyes directly to the rider, who is the center of interest in this image. I find the horse a little soft, though. You may try darkening the upper, right side of the image to focus on the rider even more. |

Great subject matter. The way you composed this scene gives it real interest. Your details are good. Since there are such subtle tones of color, I thought this would make a good monochrome image. I added contrast, lightened the face, added detail (more structure with Nik Viveza) and converted it to monochrome. |

I really like this image, too. You really captured the abstract side of the Bean reflections. I haven't seen this take on it before. My only suggestion is to increase the contrast. |

I really like your subject matter, the angle of the flute and the position of the hands. I find the image very noisy and bright. Not sure what you can do about the noise, at this point. With ISO 6400 and significant cropping, it probably really increased it. I like the image though, so I wonder about taking it into Topaz Simplify and making a different type of artistic presentation would save it. I don't use LR, so I can't help you there. I do use Topaz DeNoise with PS which helps some with reducing the noise. |

Wonderful reflection and complimentary colors. I agree with Don's suggestion to make the bird a little off center. I'm not sure if it is possible to bring out more detail in the bird. Looking closely, I can see a little fish in his mouth, making it a good nature story. |

Nice job! Her hair has just enough details, but still looks soft and fluffy. I think the vignetting was very successful to bring our attention to that adorable face. One suggestion is that I would like to see the nose and surrounding area a little sharper. |

Technically, well done with good exposure and details. I also think a tighter crop would make it even stronger. I would crop to the right of the lady on the left. She doesn't appear interested in what the ranger is saying while everyone else is. The background is nicely blurred and free from distraction. Well executed. |

The backlighting is nice, however, in the monochrome version, the flowers look a bit flat. Perhaps a little more contrast will bring out the details and darkening the background will make the thistles "pop". |

I love this scene and the conditions were great. It really sets a mood and I think the symmetrical presentation is perfect. I would like to see a little more contrast to create a separation of the water and the sky and add depth. |

You caught him at the right moment. I like the Glow treatment and it helps the whiskers stand out as well as they do. Your crop is good, as well. My only suggestion is to darken the upper left as it tends to pull my eye from the tiger. Nice job! I bet the color version is nice as well. |

Wonderful image! You caught it at the right time. Everything that should be in focus is sharp, making the car stand out from the background. Their expressions are great and really help make the moment special. I like the monochrome version. Excellent job! |

Congrats for seeing the potential in a scene many would have walked by. I agree with Kathy that I think you need more contrast. The image is a little bright. I would have preferred to have seen more of the scene/building. |

Lovely flowers and good detail in their centers. I like the dark, heavy vignetting, however, am not sure about the charcoal color of it. Did you use the burn tool? I think darkening the edges using Nik Viveza would have preserved the dark green color. |

Such a great idea for a shot. I never would have thought of it. The focus and exposure of the ring and ball are very good. I find the bright spots in the background a little distracting. I wonder if setting this up against only dark bushes or trees and setting a golf club laying down behind it would get the same intent but keep the ball the only bright thing in the image. |

Congratulations on the success of this image! The flower is lovely - in color and soft texture. You have good details, as well. My only small suggestion would be to crop the bottom a little to get rid of the bright triangle shape on the bottom right. |

The colors are very nice and the buds provide a nice center of interest. Your background is nicely blurred and the water on the petals adds interest. I would prefer if your subject wasn't so centered. The two bottom green leaves seem a little soft and the large bottom green leaf is almost blown out from the reflection. |
