I really like the way the pier draws me right out to the extremely dramatic sky and that the waves reflect the shapes in the sky. To me the surfer tells the story - bathed in golden light and admiring the glory of the heaves. I also think the surfer provides scale to the scene. This is a beautiful image and one I would consider hanging on my wall. |

To me, the lines of the docks and the open area with the reflections form leading lines to the ferry and the positioning of the ferry and its shape leads to the real star of the show - the sky. The sky is beautiful and with the reflection of the clouds in the water frames the ferry wonderfully. In fact, to me, everything else in the scene creates sort of a natural vignette that keeps my attention on the ferry. Good job! Ferry scenes are not an easy subject. |

I like that there is some motion in the wings. It appears to me that the sun coming in from the left brings out the details on that side (I particularly like the nearly translucent beak!) and leaves the right side in shadow, adding to the drama in the image. For what it's worth, Bonnie Block (who won an Audubon award for an eagle image) says that she starts with a shutter speed of 1/1600 for a bird that appears motionless. I do wish you'd been able to capture the golden color of the eyes and that they were in a little better focus. Good job of making the most of the moment! |

I love the layers and textures in this image and I'm always a fan of starry skies. The valley in the foreground leads my eyes to the mid-ground, where the slope leads me up to Everest and the skies. For me, the bright green light (which I presume to be a camp or other structure) helps define the scale of the view. For me, the snowcap really separates the rest of the scene from the night sky. The dark line along the top edge is a distraction and I think that the differences in exposure and color in that area need to be adjusted slightly for a coherent image. Still, I am once again jealous! |

I haven't been to the Grand Canyon since I was 12 (a very long time ago)and my clearest memory of the place is annoyance that I wasn't old enough for donkey (mule?) ride into the canyon. However, my memories of that area in general are of very vivid colors and color variation. Perhaps you de-saturated just a bit much? The trees in the foreground and the river give a sense of the scale and just how large it is. Altogether the image allows me a taste of the grandeur of the canyon. Nice! |

One of these days I'll get a fast, wide lens that's made for a full-frame camera. Until then, it's the 10-18 mm F-4 for a crop-sensor. Good luck on your next try! |

It does work well in monotone; I just prefer color (nearly always). I'll see what images I have but my time got cut short by a very large, angry dog. I skedaddled long before I was ready! |

The white balance was taken off the silver roof, so maybe it had a bit too much blue. I'll see if I can tweak it. |
