Portrait of a Landscape

Pretty colors, but lacks a definite subject. My eyes are drawn to the barn, because it's bright red and in an otherwise "empty" part of the photo, but then they get pulled down to the trees at the bottom because there are just so many of them. I think if this shot were composed a bit differently, it would work. I do like your attempt to do something out of the ordinary by shooting a landscape vertically, though.

Terrific DOF! I agree that the clouds really make the picture, but the hills are pretty good, too. Nice work!

Great capture of her expression! Nicely composed, too. Good job of not over exposing the white of the dress.

Geez... I almost feel myself tearing up! You really should add this to the Emotive gallery, too!

Very nicely done.

Although the clouds are interesting, I think it would have been good if you had cropped out some of the sky and zoomed in more on the buildings. Nice shot, though!

Wow! Amazing! Congrats on your ribbon, Dave! How many balloons did you have to pop to get this? :)

Hmmm... I feel like I've seen this one before (not in a challenge, but a dramatic variation on it in the forums). If it is the same location, I like this one a lot better! Nice DOF, color. Maybe a touch of oversharpening? Not sure. I think I see some hints of it in the water and some of the brighter leaves. Might be the ISO, though, if it was set very high. Well done!

Nice night shot! I think it would be improved if you had used a longer shutter speed (this would produce longer streaks of light from the cars, and also brighten up the sky a bit, bringing out the definition of the buildings).
