Rolling Wheat Field

Comment:
Excellent find in this large expanse of wheat. The house contrasts beautifully against the field and the sky. I like the burning in the sky you've done here, and the sepia works very well.

I really like the emotion in her eyes here. It's a shame she didn't have her head tilted up slightly, as it might have put more life into her eyes. Nonetheless, she still looks ready to come at you, so you've done a great job of capturing an emotional moment.

The image is well titled, has nice colours, and good focus. Great job.

IMPOSTORS

I couldn't figure out whether the title was some sort of double entendre to the guy with the phone (or maybe the couple together), or if it was simply a last minute title based only on the store in the background.

Good use of foreground, middle ground, and background elements. The contrast is good here, too.

" Big Brother " à la Chicago
by Alain

Comment:
Great composition, and I think the black borders on the sides help reinforce the "Big brother" idea of the huge mural "watching over" the child. Nice exposure throughout and good detail in the bricks.

I think just as interesting would be a tight crop in on the child and the doll it looks like she just dropped.

Red Dragon

One of the nice things about photography is that you can see things that you wouldn't see with our unassisted vision alone. We cannot "see" a water droplet frozen in time, nor can we see such a close-up of an insect without the help of lenses.

You've done a great job of capturing this extreme macro. Absolutely beautiful saturated colours, and nice sharpness where it needs to be. Good job.

The Serengeti

Comment:
This is a great shot. If the dust wasn't there, it would be much too cluttered. However, you've used the dust as a natural backdrop behind the zebra. Great contrast to the image, and nice composition; I think including the heads of the zebras on the right helps to show there are more to come, without panning out to show everything (which would lose all the detail).

The best of 2007...

This is a really nice B&W portrait, with great sharpness throughout the face and gorgeous skin. Nice job of keeping the exposure in check.

Vanishing Point

I like the thick border for this image, even though it leaves less "image" space to work with. The sky is gorgeous, and the sidewalk is beautifully composed in a nice S to pull the eye throughout the image. In addition, the trees on the left nicely keep the eye within the image. A simple image, but nice to look at and it would probably look great up on the wall.

Grand Tetons National Park

I really like the framing of the water by the greenery. Not too sure I like the halo around the tops of the trees, but it does help add some depth between them and the mountains. Very nice sharpness to the mountains and a great, glassy reflection.

Under an Urban Moon
by muur88

Comment:
This is an interesting image, but one that proves the maxim that moving just an inch or two can sometimes make or break an image. The fact that the moon is tight against the edge of the wall--and slightly behind the barbed wire--seems to indicate that you wanted to include it in the image, but didn't consider how you wanted it composed. Moving a bit back and to the right would have brought the moon out into the open sky, making it more prominent. Or, you could have moved forward a bit, putting the moon behind the fence, which might be a personification of urban oppression (or some other theme).

The detail in the brick is nice in the bottom left corner. A bit of high pass sharpening might have really boosted the local contrast in this image.
