Fisherman at Dawn — Red River Beach

I'm not sure if it would have been possible... depending on limits of your camera (dslr/p&s and megs) but I think this photo could have been just as effective with the colors and background, and more effective with your silhouette if you had zoomed in some (or cropped)Pretty though.

Engaged

Great idea - if they are truly engaged (not just set up) they will definitely cherish this photo. I only wish I could see more of a story from this photo. At first I didn't see the glasses going together, and those do help a bit, but maybe just a few seconds later they kissed? leaning in towards each other would have been really nice - I just feel they are a bit too separated. Nicely done though... good idea, great focus. -9-

I like this... I wonder if some people are going to complain that you can see too much for it to be a silhouette... but I think it is perfect! In terms of cropping, I think it might have been nice if you had cropped in quite a bit - I like the way the light highlights the books names and I feel you didn't need the computer in the photo perhaps, or the window above? A tighter crop (quite a bit off the left and the top) - might have been extremely effective and put more emphasis on the books, and also helped to uncenter the boy (self portrait?) either way. Nice job! With a crop would have been a 10 but I'm giving an 8 (because it also bothers me that it is tilting slightly)

Please please please don't have added that frame in photoshop! this is great :-) I really like it - it gives you an odd feeling. I even like the gloomy sky. I just really hope the frame was taken at the same time.

I feel this could have been effective if it was a real bird, I like the softness of the curtain and the colors here, but the fact that it is pretty obviously a fake bird, really detracts from the photo for me. It just looks too contrived. Compositionally, lighting wise and color wise if you had a real bird I would have given you a very high score, but I am all for realism, I apologize, it just really bothers me. I also like the hammock (?) in the background. Still a 7 but with a real bird - prolly would have gone 9 or 10

You go first!

Playing around with my browser a bit just to try some cropping, I almost feel like it might have been nice to have more off the top, just slightly leaving a bit of the tube (?) above the circle, giving it a slightly longer than rounder feel? This is cute... I can't tell - are these real or stuffed dogs? No matter what I like the photo. Good job with the exposure.

Did you try this in black and white? it might have been more effective? Also although you might have gotten marked down for it, I think in this case, slightly blowing out the light might outside might have looked slightly more artistic. Just some ideas to try.

This is adorable!! I'm not sure how you did it... I"m guessing that everything but the dog is a photograph? But it is very well done, and extremely cute. Only thing I might mention is the reflection in the glass near the center of the photo is a bit distracting... otherwise I like it. Nicely done.

Anyone here?

Very very nice job! Great job with exposure, and composition. I like what you caught here, whether it was candid or setup. Very nicely done. Solid 10 from me.
