Oak in Green and Blue
by C_Steve_G

Comment:
Nice photo. I think it would look even better with a filter to enhance the blue and green. However, although the photo contains water, I see the oak tree as the subject and don't really notice the water much. But again, it's a nice photo, and nicely composed.

Some like it Hot

The idea of one bottle pouring into the other (even by reflection, as it seems to be here) has a certain appeal, but I think the flame is distracting. It's not clear to me what you intended the flame to contribute to this photo. Perhaps you just needed a light source... ?

I think you really made this one work by using smaller sized left and right panels. It's a great shot, but wouldn't have been as interesting if you had left them all the same size. Very beautifully done!

Very unique! I love your border! I think this shot would be better if your buildings were just a bit sharper. Maybe some USM, and a little more DOF? But otherwise, beautifully done!

Manhattan Skyline (42nd Street) Cool Blue

That is such an amazing shot! I absolutely love the blue. Did you do that with an on-lens filter or in PP? One of the best skylines I've seen.

I love Ovation guitars. :) Beautifully done. I don't know what to suggest for improvements. Really nice job!

The Break

Great shot! I like your composition for each photo. I think the center shot could improve from som increased DOF, and all the shots could be improved by adjusting the color balance/curves. There's a lot of red and yellow here. Nice job!

Bird of Prey

I like this concept a lot. You've captured the birds beautifully! Great detail and nice close-ups. I find the background in each shot a bit distracting, however. I know it wouldn't be legal for the challenge, but afterwards, you might want to consider placing each bird on a black or very dark background, so that they just pop out. Although, I admit, I'm not sure how well this would work for the water shots. Overall, nice job!

You are really great at candids, Rikki. Excellent capture, and story around it. I also see the face as a bit too red. Perhaps a little color adjustment, adding some cyan or blue, would help?
