Screen Door Portraiture

This gives a really neat effect to the photo. It makes it look like it is printed on canvas. Hate the 2 little holes in your screen. Bet you didn't know they were there until you took the photo. This is a really neat, good photo. Great intuition and way to color outside the lines. I like it.

As beautiful as I expected: dog and photograph. He looks so regal laying here so perfectly. Beautiful rich colors and beautiful cropping job. He looks like this is a normal place to lay, or possess. He is absolutly beautiful. It's easy to take a 1st place photo when you have a 1st place subject. Not fair. Great job.

Just another Rose

Beautiful peach rose. Leave off the water. Tops as it is. The beauty is in the rose. Background should be totally black or real soft light color. This could be a beautiful piece of art. Well done. Really nice focus and cropping. Perfectly shaped rose in perfect condition. Nice one. The more I look the better I like this. Also decided the background should be solid the color of the botom right corner or soft light color. Had to up the score to a 10.

Thank you for paying attention to the little details that make a photo. In this one it is the tasted, and put back, pieces of candy. That cements your title and makes this one. The focus is right one, the composition is really nice, and the cropping is not crowed and cramped or too airy. In my opinion this is one of the top ten.

kids play

Looks like they are really enjoying the snow. Snow is not really an easy thing to photograph well. And you did a pretty good job of it. Just a hair light. Wouldn't have hurt the shot of the children if it were darkened some, then the snow wouldn't be so washed. Good of the children. Love how red (cold) his ear shows up. To me the background is not out of focus quite enough for nice dof nor in focus enough for great focus. Maybe darkening would help that some too. More contrast would help a little. But still not that bad of a shot.

Red Rose

Beautiful rose, but way to busy. Also looks over sharpened. The three eggs (?) almost appear to be fighting the rose for subject position. Feathers only wouldn't be bad with the rose. The eggs (?) are way to bright and eye catching to not be the subject. With just the rose and the feathers it could be toned down some and be beautiful.

Do I Have to Go To Bed, I'm Not Tired!

Great little actor you got there. Cute, too. I really like the soft focus on this one. Bedtime should not be bright and sharp. Good choice. Colors are real natural. Crop is great. Love the title. Only problem when he bathed he forgot to wash the juice off his fingers and mouth. Just like all younguns. Pic was so good had to pic at you. This is a real nice photo.

Sunset

Don't know if I should say "nice how you used that limb to keep the sun out of your eyes" or "why didn't you step to one side or the other of that limb so you could get a good shot of the sun". Everything else is beautiful, colors, cropping, focus, DOF, etc. It's all a go. But I still don't know which question is correct or which way to score it. So guess i'll split it down the middle and give it a 7.

Please explain how you did the netting appearance on the photo. To me it ruins the photo, but I didn't think it was legal either. I get almost the same effect by using the telephoto lens but not zoomed. The fuzzy border then white then thin black I thought made 3 borders. I'm all confused on this photo. Sorry

Beach, Sun, Sand and Silhouette

Give me a little more sky and I'll give you a 10. Like the guy on the beach and his location in the photo. The cropping is especially good in my opinion - as much past the sun on the beach as past the man on the beach. Great job there. I would have like more sky, as much as you have land without and water on it on the left corner. Still a good photo.
