What a beautiful bird - as long as it stays on it's perch with that long sharp beak. lol Nicely composed and focused. The textures of the tail feathers really come through. Taken at a very good angle as the sun casts perfectly upon this bird.

Intersting angle - not sure I'm liking it though. Probably just a erpsonal preference, as I like to see the faces - especially the eyes of living creatures. Nice colors and shallow DOF.

Very nice candid with rich tones. I love the textures too. The nose seems to need a little burning, but otherwise the skin tones are beautiful. Nice use of DOF

Into the Wild Blue Yonder

Dynamite shot - love the action. Excellent compostion in the sky. The smoke trails are nice, but have a dark haloing around them. As the planes have a slight lighter halo around them. Might need to go back and lighten up on the USM. Otherwise nice crisp, clean shot.

Wonderful angle and composition - perhaps a little too tight crop along the top. Nice gradient to the sky, and vibrant colors throughout. Possibly a little over-sharpened as it looks pixelly from the middle up - possibly not from sharpening but resizing?

Shall We Dance ...

What a great capture. I love the colors and composition. The sunlight casts perfectly upon the birds, leaving neither harsh shadows or blown out areas. The sky seems too teal though, and there is a halo effect around the birds (usually from over-sharpening)

It is very hard to properly evaluate this image as it is so small. Wish you had sized it larger as I would have loved to give you some detailed comments.
From what I can see, there is some vignetting in the corners - not sure if it is intentional or not but I would have cropped it off. The lighting seems to be giving an odd color cast overall. As for focus, from what I can see, it looks to be fine. The little girl sure is having fun. Also, would have removed the clutter from the counter as it distract from the subject.

wow - looks like a painting. Very sharp focus throught. Nice composition. I like it as a piece of art - just does not have the feeling of a photograph to me. The leading lines throughout make it very interesting.

What a beautiful nautical piece. The angle this was shot at is really good, as is the DOF created. The color tones all look very natural. Good job.
