Simple Relationships

I really like this shot, it's a very simple yet well done wildlife photo. You captured these ducks in a very natural way. The focus is well done and the exposure is perfect. The only nitpick is the grass in the foreground that I personally would get rid of. Great job though, this is something you can be proud of.

This is an extremely underrated shot, should have done much better in this challenge. Great moment to capture from a great place. This might have done better if you cropped in a little tighter and boosted the contrast to add some drama and interest to it. The colors are wonderful and the exposure is spot on. Great job.

Wow, the sharpness and clarity of this image is amazing. The catchlights and details in the eyes is also exceptional. I really like this one. The one improvement that I would do is move the hair out of her face but that's hardly something to complain about. Great work!

Ok, even though this is a post challenge comment, I'll comment it as I would during voting.

I really just don't think this fits the challenge. Yes, snow is pure but there just isn't enough of it to convey that message in this photo. Also, I don't think the sepia tone of this image works very well as it makes the snow look very dirty and not pure.

Wow, what a moment you caught here. I gave this shot a 6 because it isn't as sharp as it could be. I would try to stop down the lens a bit to increase the sharpness and apply some more post processing unsharp mask or smart sharpen to it. Great job and great capture.

I like this one, it's well composed. The only thing I can nit pick about is the DOF. It's kinda strangly placed on this one. The thing I would do is flip the book around so "guests" is closest to you and focus on that. Stop down the lens a bit to increase the DOF and have the names slowly fade out in the background. Maybe a little selective desat with a few props added on and it would be great. Just my thoughts, sorry for rambling.

Mountain Goat

Well the mountain goat, if it's where I think it is, is very well hidden. This would be a great entry for the Where's Waldo challenge. It is, however, kind of dark and grainy with not too much in the way of shadow detail. Maybe you could bump the brightness a bit to help out? The image doesn't look very sharp either. The image is kind of confusing at first glance, but sorts itself out shortly after.

This one looks EXACTLY like a painting and I really like it. The focus and composition is excellent as is the exposure. Great work and good job with the processing.

You really nailed the exposure on this one. Great balance between the sky and the ground. There are technically two problems I can see with this shot. One is that the subject is too centered and the other is that the subject isn't clear enough. The trees on the right distract from the dead tree in the middle as do the trees in the background. GREAT exposure though.

This is exactly how you describe it, digital art. I'm not entirely sure what exactly it is, but I think that's the idea you had anyway. I personally am not so much a fan of digital art, but I think you did a good job here. It has an almost painting like look to it that really works here. The way the light grades are seperated out really looks good too. Good job.
