Fascinating picture with leading lines pointing to the far distance. There is no anchor, but the beautiful cobble stones suffice as an attractive foreground. The window shutters on the right look to be an interesting point to potentially bring out by a few steps to the left? |

Thanks for your comments on emotion in nature. I think nature photos can have story as well as inherent composition making the crop and lighting important but second to story. Perhaps an overlapping circle or Venn effect contributes to impact but where the "story" circle is dominant. |

Thanks for your suggestions. I have also cropped and reduced exposure of the sky and branch to bring out the main topic of the hawk and mouse. |

He could be about to sing "This Land is My Land"! Interesting to me since there is a town near here called after Woody Guthrie who was born not far from here. Thanks for the great lesson in relating to the subject before capture and in converting to mono. |

Thanks for a great image and lesson on how to catch a dynamic scene like this. It seems that 1/4 or 1/6 sec is about right to portray flow and even the rythm of the music! The main dancers being slightly off center gives the image spontaneity and a feeling of being there. |

Congratulations on a great concept and capturing the esthetics of the two rose-trees blowing in the wind in parallel. However, Jim's modification is also good. I agree with taking out unneeded structures and lines and cropping down to bring out how you have caught definition within your depth of field for some of the flowers because they are much smaller. I'm not qualified to see the difference in the film effect but it seems good for the detailed parts of the image. |

The diagonal slant and the orange, yellow and dark green against the lighter green background is striking and beautiful in a minimalistic sense. The stroke is well-placed, but it is a great image without it. The stamen seems to be the sharp point but agree the veins could possibly be sharper - did you try the sharpen tool in PS? |

You have skillfully captured the esthetics of shells on the beach and in the waves. It took me a while to adapt to the 16:9 crop which fits the flowing wave being partially stopped by the shell. I would consider a slight vignette since I tended to wander a bit but that could be good. I think the the left to right flow of the wave is consitent with Japanese style for tsunami paintings and the alternative by doing a horizontal flip could give a more dynamic effect perhaps. |

Thanks. Red-tailed Hawks are more common here, so it was good to see one.
I meant to say that I did denoise, but routinely drop all the raw images from the day into DXO PR and find them denoised an hour later in a separate file. I seldom need to add some denoising in photoshop. In this case no problem at ISO of 2500. |
