Father and Son

A nicely captured and composed moment, and as a father I'm glad to see he's got a good hold on his son's hand.

I think recomposing to have him more in front of the simple cabinet in the back and using a smaller aperture to bring more of the scene into focus would have helped. Also, while I like the selective coloring bringing only the green parts of the photo into color, there are some green parts in the background and I would have preferred to have them desaturated as well, with only the tree he's pruning and the leaves on the table being in color.

I don't get the title, and I'm not crazy about the visual aspects of the photo either. Interesting framing with the hedge, but it just ends up too busy in this case and there seems to be some motion blur as well.

LOL!
What a nicely captured moment, I wonder what the goose was thinking. "Yeah, I've been hitting the gym working on those glutes, let me flex 'em for ya"

It has potential, but I'm not a fan of the processing, and the composition might have been improved by walking to the right a bit to have the dog by the lady's side as a companion, rather than in front of her and taking up more of the frame than she does.

I love the way his eyes and face position almost match the face emerging from the abstract shapes in the painting. Excellent job capturing this, with perfect exposure and light, and the slight bit of softness and grain just makes it raw and gritty and real.

I think a longer lens would have made the most of this scene - including the man on the left's whole body is a good move, including the regular dressed people and the pop-up canopies is a bad move.

A tighter composition with shallower depth of field would have made the most out of their traditional dress and ceremonial gear, without the junk.

I think this would have been stronger without the motion blur, and I'm not a fan of the processing style.

Well composed and perfect shutter speed to capture the moving propeller in such a cool looking manner, but I'm not a fan of the added border.

I like it a lot. Excellent study of shapes and shadows, impeccably timed and composed. The toning comes across as sort of purple on my screen, but I the impression I get from that is it's the way Provia slide film looks under certain lighting conditions and exposure levels.
