* Greetings from the Critique Club*

Hi Ben. First up, congratulations on your highest scoring image. I've always preferred the 'less is more' style of photograph and this is a classic example. You obviously put in a lot of effort to get this one.

The colours are striking and you resisted from the 'too much saturation' syndrome which can happen with images like this. I find the blacks of the seeds and around the strawberry seem a little strange looking, almost painted on. It could be from the PP perhaps.

Your framing and focus are good. I've been sitting here trying to look at your lighting as the shadow looks a bit wierd in that it seems 'cut off' on the edge. I could be just being picky here though.

All up, it's a great simple photo and it was received very well. Good stuff. Best of luck in your future challenges.

Neil

I agree with doctornick. Maybe try a re-crop to have you off centred a bit. Nice overall contrast. Well done!

Such a tranquil image. Very peaceful. I like the framing of the boats and the distant island/hill in the background shrouded in mist/rain! Very well done!

Yes, pretty impressive for 1600 ISO! I've done a couple of these workshop classes myself and we had about 10 shooters all with remote triggers trying to all fire at the same time! It was mayhem! Especially when you go to take a shot and someone fires the strobes a split second before you and then you end up with a black frame!

The photo is really nice though. Noise Ninja hasn't given her too much of a platic look! Well done!

This is a really well done photo. It should of maybe got a little higher. My only complaint is that I would of liked to have seen more lighting over her left shoulder!

Hey! This is really nice. It's a really dreamy sort of image, especially with the tree line in the background being blurred. And the clouds give a wonderful effect! Good stuff!

These sprinkler systems always make interesting pictures. I remember being young going for a country drive with my folks and seeing these. I just think the colouring looks a little out of whack. Maybe a bit too yellow, especially through the grass. Tis something that's easy fixed though. Well done!

This is great! The giraffe really stands out well from the background.
