22	May 20	Comment	I'll be the contrarian -- I like the amount of stars and sky. I think they provide a nice counter-balance in color and size to the falls and rocks at the bottom. Great work on your Photoshop.	May 5th
22	May 20	Comment	I think this is a beautifully composed image. The reflections of the leaves in the water look like an oil painting to me. I like how you brightened the leaves on the trees and darkened the ones in the reflection. To me, they appear as they would in a soft light.	May 5th

71	May 20	Comment	Great shot. Now I'll go "Art Wolfe" on you. I think he'd suggest you've got the perfect elements for an even better composition. That is, by getting much lower and shooting so that you were almost on the same level as the gull. Then, make the gull a much more dominate fixture in the image.	May 10th
71	May 20	Comment	Well, now I know what Cedar Rapids looks like! Beautiful shot. I especially like how you smoothed out the water and how the blue lights provide a soft reflection. Nice job.	May 10th
71	May 20	Comment	What a beautiful image! I love what you've done. The entire photo, from the clouds to the mountains to the foreground, all contain wonderfully complementary earth tone colors. Great capture.	May 10th
71	May 20	Comment	You have a good subject, but a couple of suggestions if you shoot something like this in the future. First, you have a lot of areas with no visual interest -- a great expanse of water and a huge amount of sky. Second, your 50mm probably wasn't the best lens if you wanted to grab a good shot of the boat and gulls. You said you had to crop way down to get this much of the boat. And third, I would try to shoot this with a stronger lens and focus much tighter on the boat. I've attached a sample of what I would look for. I know this isn't a good image, primarily because it's been cropped so much that it's lost its sharpness. Anyway, it might give you an idea of what to look for in the future.	May 10th
71	May 20	Comment	You captured a beautiful sunset. The golden colors in the sky and the soft reflections in the water are gorgeous. You do have an element of interest with the boat on the right. I would lighten the shadows a bit more to make it more visible.	May 5th
