stream of life

Composition is good with the lines on the stream leading the viewer through the shot and a nice straight horizon line well placed in the top third of the frame. With regard to exposure - the sky is completely blown out and devoid of any detail. PP could be stronger with regard to the color saturation, IMHO. Overall, a decent shot.

Composition is good with a nice straight horizon line properly placed. With regard to exposure, the tone is a bit flat and portions of the sky are completely blown out. This image also looks a bit OOF. A strong idea; overall, a decent shot.

long way up, full of traps

Great idea - looks slightly OOF, especially on the bottom. If this was a DOF decision, it might not be working as well as you intended. Composition could be stronger if the tail weren't cut off. Also, not a huge fan of the border. Overall, this is a shot with some potential - the strong yellow patterning on the lizard adds visual interest, as well as the web it's crawling under.

Hi Matt! What a little cutie your little boy is - a natural in front of the camera. This was a good idea, but I think the black background hurt you a little bit, because it has more of a colder feel to it than I might expect for "bedtime story-time." Exposure seems to just a little bit off, too, as the black of Mickey's ears are getting lost in the background as well. Great facial expression on your son - you can tell he's having fun reading the story to his "friends."
