The iron cross in front somehow seems to be in the wrong position - I would have tried a different view - maybe higher, maybe lower, maybe to the left or to the right. I don't have the answer. > Dan Mitchell - Lynn Ferry Hard to say what the subject of the picture is. The people seem cluttered, and clutter the picture. The boat should be more prominent IMHO - perhaps a different angle, so that the boat is larger, and include only part of the ramp? > Peeter Vissak - 6 o'clock drink Good, but not great. I think I would have cropped out the trees/bushes on the left and the right, and though it was dusk perhaps burned the 'shepherd's' face to bring out some more features. Pini Vollach - Farm Interesting and unusual, and I very much like the various colors of the saw blade, the violet roof on the left juxtaposed with the yellow building with green roof. With the saw blade so close, greater depth of field is difficult, but perhaps with a short telephoto standing further away from the saw blade? I would have liked to have the farm buildings more in focus. > WRGill - Wonderful colors, wonderful composition, wonderful photo. If composited in PS it would perhaps not be discernible as a composite rather than an original, but I would not represent it to be an original. > Christopher Strevens - Street Nice, but the streaking effect doesn't work for me for this scene. > Jim Davis - Backlight on White Bird Excellent job, and I like the composition, with the bird being on the right. It's true, of course, that white does not always look white. A fascinating article exploring light and color is "Why is Color" by Bruce Fraser: I recommend it to all photographers. http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/13036.html Bob Talbot - Flamingo Marvellous! I love the point of view, and the colors. Where was it taken from - underneath the flamingo? > Andrew Davidhazy - Excellently done - she is a beautiful woman, and I like the way the sun shines through the edges of her long hair (see "Why is Color" above). Excellent composition, and excellent tonal range. Just my thoughts. Maris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free by AVG Anti-Virus System Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
