I agree with Steve's suggestions. The flower in your capture is beautiful. I think yuour version looks over manipulated to me. I like the out of focus green background better than the harsh blackness. |

A great creation. I think if the woman were a bit larger there might appear to be a relation with theman and theviewer'simagination would finish the story |

I generally like flower photos with strong color, but this photo is wonderful in its delicacy and gentle feeling. The cropping is excellent, keeping the flower slightly off center and the soft needles radiating out gives the picture some movement. |

Very well done. I don't mind the partial blocking of the partner's face. The interest is the ballerina, |

Technically issues: I agree with most of the others' comments. I'm hardly a portrait expert, but I feel, as a general rule, a model or subject should engage with the photographer or at least something in the picture. Your model is almost stone faced |

Sorry for my lack of clarity. The birds were about 500 meters away; the lens was at 600mm. I cropped, enlarged and cropped again to bring the size of the picture to 12X8The colors are accurate OPn 1 did not dull the colors and could have made them satkjudrated.; the lighting was somewhat flat and the background that Gaetan has rendered in a beautiful blue is a mudflat at low tide. It was grey, but if the sky had been hard blue as often happens in Maine, the mud flat would look blue. Remember the discussion we had about what constitutes disqualifying a photo from Nature competition? Regardless, I think Gaetan's color adjustments improve the picture and does Jim's suggestion to crop the grass.

I like the composition as it is. The sky is the main subject of interest. I would increase the contrast and the bright areas in the sky and the water,Just as Stuart suggests |

You did a great job turning a difficult color shot into black and white. The pose is just right. `The disembodied hand on the young man's chest distracted me. I suggest you clone it out. The sky is just right for the scene. |

A great expression. I would crop a little more from the sides and bottom I feel there is too much patterned boddy. Youy might darken it a bit so that the face stands out a bit |

This is a moving photo. It looks like the color version you attached was taken at a different position so the composition is more diagonal. I prefer it. There is more movement. The original seems to have more contrast than the B&W, which is a bittoo flat, in my opeinion |

Stgephen: Thanbk youy for joining us this month. Ipretty much agree with your analysis. The pose is a collection of triangles and is really semi-abstract. The face and hair are not abstract. The hair would be ok, if the face were turned away. The photograph is well conceived and beautifully done |

I Agree with your cropping suggestion. I think you are right that the light areas on the left are distracting. I think it would be best to crop them out.
