Nice stream. The water contains too much cyan or green, I think.

Bee on Hollyhock

Pretty flower and bee. I find the lighting to be harsh and the shadow created by the plant on the bloom is distracting.

Lifelong friends stretching demo

Interesting exercise but feel this could have been composed better. The stump in the foreground is blownout; there's an elbow entering in the top left corner; the cowboy's rear and hat are cropped off and there are very bits and pieces of people popping up in the background. Maybe a larger aperture would have reduced some of the distractions in the bg.

Interesting image. I like it except for the stray piece on the shoe on the right.

Celebrating Sunset, Jockeys Ridge

I really like this - the real bright sky with the dark silhouettes. A few things bother me about this though... I find the yellow in the sky to be very distracting and the running child appears to have only one leg. I think this would work great as a panoramic image. I would crop out the yellow part of the sky and crop up from the bottom to leave just a sliver of land - that has more impact for me. Nice catch though!

Nice use of selective color. Sad image.

I like the b&w on the walls and the converging lines but I'm not crazy for the sky and the loss of detail in the walkway.

A little too dark and busy for me with the blurred plants in the fg...

Seneca Lake Sunset
by ClickNSee

Seneca Lake? Hector side??? I'm curious to find out who took this! I thought this was Seneca Lake before even glancing up at the title. This is where I live.

I like the lighting on the vineyards but the heavily burned area on the left is weighing heavily (for me) and my eyes keep floating over there. Still a nice image, though.

Cute little girl. The sky is a little bright/blown out and the girl is somewhat shaddowed. Maybe locking exposure on her face would have helped...although the sky would have suffered more...
