22 Sep 24 Reply Al -- the dramatic colors in your sky pick up on the metallic hues of the bins very nicely. Looks good! Sep 20th
22 Sep 24 Comment I like what Joe did here. With the image flipped upside down the larger bubbles at the bottom seem to provide a weighted base that allows your eyes to begin there and follow up the composition where the smaller bubbles give the illusion of receding into the distance. Also, to Joe and Al's points I think some boosting of the contrast would help. Creative capture of an everyday scene not normally noticed. Sep 20th
22 Sep 24 Comment A nice arrangement of solid man-made geometric shapes placed against an organic setting. I agree with Peggy that perhaps something can be done with your treatment (or lack) of the sky, if only to crop down from the top a little. As it is, there might be too much negative space. Good capture of a typical rural scene. Sep 6th
22 Sep 24 Comment The composition is great just as it is. What a great jagged and dramatic line cutting across the middle! The clouds give a real sense of altitude, and the placement of the tents demonstrate how puny human activities are compared to the vastness of nature. Very few, if any, blown out spots -- very difficult to pull off in such a white area. A truly great effort on your part! Sep 5th
22 Sep 24 Comment You came across a nice setup for an interesting picture. The rigid outlines of the doorways contrast well with the more organic look of the peeling walls. I like how you placed the hallway off center and thus balanced the positive space with the negative. Looking back through to the back wall provides a real sense of depth, and even a little feeling of mystery. That box opening in the lower right might be a bit distracting. Mike has a good suggestion in trying to convert this to black and white. Nice job! Sep 2nd
22 Sep 24 Comment The make-up of your image, with the rough and random patterns formed by the grass can lend itself to a relatively easy fix in PS or Elements if you want to add extra space. Just crop the original and extend the left and/or right margins and then clone parts of the existing picture over the 'new' space in such a way as to not allow obvious repeating patterns. Sep 2nd

91 Sep 24 Comment Nice X look with the bird leaning down at one angle intersected by the branch going up at a different diagonal. Good recovery of the honeyeater from the shadows, although this resulted in the sky appearing too bright, unless it's because of my monitor. Perhaps crop in from the right a little in order to eliminate some of the bright background? Sep 12th
91 Sep 24 Comment Very nice diagonal lines produced by the birds and the branch. The eyes are well captured and the color is spot on without being overly saturated. The pose suggests that the top bird is saying to the other, "you call that a catch?" Congrats on the well deserved award. Sep 10th
91 Sep 24 Comment The eyes are almost always so important in a capture of animals and here you have done a real good job of showing them. I think you could have cropped in some more, producing a square frame -- as it is there is too much on the left and right side of the birds that is not contributing to the composition. Sep 10th
91 Sep 24 Comment Unusual looking pose for an egret -- head straight on, but you have great depth of field combing with bokeh acting as a good framing device. Nice soft box lighting effect with nothing blown out, which might otherwise be the case if sunlit. The only distraction is the vertical brown branch on the right. Maybe try to eliminate, or reduce it? Fine image. Sep 10th
