Captive

There are two ways to look at this. I would prefer to see the elephant without the fence, with more detail and with softer, more diffused light so the detail in the skin is not washed out. The fence does of course reflect that it is indeed a captive and brings an emotional response, but for me I would even then like to see better light and maybe a different angle.

I very much like the color tone you used for this picture, it enhances the patern in the wood and gives a bit of a rustic feel. If this is a place you can get back to, I'd love to see this re-shot with storm clouds coming in.

Fantastic. This to me reminds me of 19th century. There is a seducing look in her eyes and that half smile is priceless. That earring really enhances the shot too.

Reflections of Lucca

Very creative. I think a bit more dof to bring out some of the bricks surrounding the reflection would actually have helped. Or maybe some more contrast...something to make them pop just a bit more. Unique capture from a beautiful city.

Very cool. Like the lighting on the....whaterver it is, the black and white thing, as well as the other thing I can't name that's brown. Light on the face is a bit flat and uninteresting. Very sharp, very unique.

The soft focus and colors in this shot give it a very feminine feel to it. I like the composition and the shallow dof. A very unique view. Ladybug seems like it could be a bit sharper. 7

Loving the color of the rocks and the motion of the water. I would like to have seen the guy a little farther to the right with more of a view of where he was hoping to go, rather than him being so centered. 7

"Peace" taken 9-11

Ah yes, pot smoking. The world-wide way to ring in an era of peace. Great subjects, wide tonality range and good light. A real portrayal of life and a great capture. 8
