Fuzzy Slippers: The Best Thing About Pajamas

I like how you try all kinds of lighting. Its good to have the variation that you do. Possibly a stronger light source to really capture the colors properly would have helped here. There's also a bluish cast that detracts from the other colors. I also like your unconventional perspectives as well as they fare very well.

Bummer indeed! Excellent use of shallow DOF. The 'F' stands out very clearly. I personally think the lighting is fabulous. I'm having a hard time critiquing this one as everything in it is technically and aesthetically (at least to me) sound. Nicely done.

I like the perspective in this one. It almost looks like your camera got bubbled! Good exposure overall and sharpness on the face of the child. You captured the blue sky very well. Just a fun, laid back image.

Wow, nicely done. I realy like the purple against the green background bokeh. I especially like the little glistens in the background as well. Overall a very strong image. I think what could have made this a stronger image would have been softer lighting, possibly from a reflector. A very aesthetically pleasing and technically sound shot. (Im a sucker for flowers too)

General. I have to admit, I have always enjoyed looking at your work as you are not afraid to be unconventional. Another thing I like is that you are consistent in your work. I always enjoy the little surprises you have and this one does not disappoint one bit. The leading lines are great and the exposure is spot on. I would have given it an 8. I think your perspective on the world and photography is unique and fresh. Keep up the good work!

Color Doesn't Matter

Nicely done and good use of B&W. I think it would have made it even stronger if you would have had them evenly spaced as the guy on the right feels a bit alone on the right half of the shot. Just being nitpicky as it is a wonderful shot. Keep up the good work!

Glad to see you experimenting around with light, I need to do more of this. Even though I am no lighting expert by any stretch of the imagination, I'll try to tell you what I see. I think you're definitely on the right track. The light feels a little on the bright side and seems to fill every aspect of the shot, I think that's where you're using losing some detail. I can tell that there is some softness to the light which helps give that image some POP to it. Again, you're already blazing trails I haven't dared step into yet and I commend you for it. Just keep trying different situations and experimenting with the light and see what different results you get. Nicely done! Maybe try different WB in RAW as well.

I like this version as well, the green background bokeh works well for negative space.

I love plant shots! I really like the green background bokeh, very graceful, it feels like a painting. I have always been a fan of your work!

Oh, are these those ocean glass shots we saw a while back. These are pretty cool! Good lighting to bring out the detail, but soft enough that the details aren't overwhelming. This is making me want to go around and do some more walkabout shots.
