The beautiful blue hues in the water really up make the subject pop out of the picture. The shadows and reflections in the water are absolutely beautiful. I like the high contrast of the bird. It makes the bird very graphic and dynamic. The direction and angle of the water helps give a sense of motion to the bird.

The slighting blurring of the bees' wings and the body really help to give it a dynamic feeling of motion and flight. I can't believe the great focus you were able to achieve on the bee. The great depth of field helps make the bee pop out even more from the shot.Nice colors in the flowers. Great details there also.

Falling From Flight

The angle that the feather is shot at makes it seem like it falling or floating. I'm think you are using negative on your camera. It gives the feather a beautiful color. Beautiful blue hues in the feather. The frame works perfectly with the shot.

Good depth of field in the photo helps to bring out the helicopter. The subject has great contrast which helps it set apart from the background. Love the slight blurring in the copter it gives it a sense of flight.

Would like to see the photo straighten a bit. It would help with the composition and give even more interest to the shot.

You were able to capture some really beautiful colors in the dragonfly. The blurring of the wings help to give a dynamic motion feeling. The depth of field really help to bring out the dragonfly.

Stained glass butterfly

The beautiful colors in the stainglass really helps to set it away from the blue hue of the sky, but the trees distract from the overall composition. Even if it was blurred even more the darkness of the trees would overwhelm the main subject.

Otherwise I like the shadows and reflections on the butterfly gives the frame a great metallic feeling.

Pretty good focus on the football. Good shutter control . You were able to get the shot near the concrete where the football and the depth of field helps launch it forward. Love that you blurred the crowd yet you can still make out their expressions. Beautiful shot.

Beautiful details in the feathers of the bird. The blurring of the bird gives a good sense of motion. The focusing in on the water is a change from focusing in on the bird helps to give a graphic dynamic to the shot. Good contrast and depth of field help to separate the bird from the water.

Reflection on the syringe is a tiny bit distracting. I would have like to see the point in the needle. I think that it would help to give more impact to the shot.

Desolated

A slight feeling of desolation. If you were able to put the subject further away from view it would help more with the feeling. The picture is too lit to represent desolation, but pushing further back should help.
