The lighting and sky really offset and bring out the gold in the trees here. I really can't critique this, well done.

Haystacks - A Tribute to the Impressionist Master
by Coley

Comment:
A nice exposure, but I would prefer more contrast with the shadows to add more drama. A composition that plays more to the shapes of the haystacks might strengthen this imho.

The Kozak

Color and tone are expressed well here. The blue adds a nice impact. Including more of the background might better show the environment (it stands very well as a portrait, but imho, I would like to see more

The Walk

This is a powerful image. The sepia tones and the soft/surrealness of the background are wonderful touches. Not sure if this was intended, but the telephone pole resembles a cross. This strengthens the composition and also adds (to me) a religious theme - also tied in with the innocense of youth and the walk down the road. I don't know if thats what you were going for, but that's what the image speaks to me. It invokes emotion. 10

The Guitarist

I like the grain here and the tight crop. It puts more emphasis on the hand motion and the bass strings (your title might be incorrect ; )
Excellent lighting as well. One of my favorites.

The Ruin

I think this is a great shot, but could be improved by a slight increase in contrast, maybe saturation too. Was burning used on the grass or is that shade from the clouds? Either way, I like the effect. It looks to me that a lot of nice shots could be taken of this structure. Some abstracts might be interesting as well.

Granite Totems

The composition and exposure are very nice. Still, the rocks don't hold a lot of interest to my eye, though I do like the diagonal presentation.

A nice throw back to 40's era cop dramas

Soft evening light on Loch Arklet
by geewhy

Comment:
I like the softness of the grass and the scene overall. It gives the feeling that this could be an oil painting as well as a photograph. The positioning of the sun (ie, the timing of the shot) is very well done.
