To The Point

Well, I suppose minimalism can proceed just a bit farther than this; but I'd miss the point.

Balls!

I assume the focus was set to capture the thin circles of light reflecting from the right edge of the gulf ball. And the consequence of the decision was that the circles facing us would be a bit blurry. This was the right choice, yet I would have liked just a little more sharpness throughout. It also looks like it was a conscious choice to wash out the texture of the ball on the left side. Somehow this choice makes the photo seem a little out of balance - as if the right side should have been cropped more tightly. Still it seems to be a powerful shot.

The photo would benefit from a scrubbing. While the warm tones work for the model, they make the bubbly suds look much too yellow. This causes the subject to dissolve away into the background.

Deconstructing the Tulip. It seems to me that the highlights are blown, but I love the milky color against the cold white of the background.

I imagine the light was really warm, but I think the photo would be improved if the whites were less yellow. I realize that one does not just line up three seagulls and shoot them from whichever angle one chooses, arranging the lighting direction to suit the purpose, but I found the arrangement to be a little static.

Diaphanous Vision

As a rule I really dislike photos that lack contrast, but this photo really is inspired. The light and shadow are perfectly controlled and the line is beautiful and elegant. I'm not sure this would tranfer well into a big poster, but it is a pleasing little gem.

Afraid the bird's head dissolves into the background...

Flowers

I think I like what I think you are trying to do; but I don't think I like how it works. I'm finding the flowers a bit too blurry and their value to be just a little to close to that ot the background. The negative space seems just a bit too self-conscious. Wish I could be more specific, because it is evocative of old Japanese flower paintings and I really like this sensibility.

It's the first high key portrait of a cat I've ever seen. I love the strong texture and subtle color. Nice expression.
