The calm after the storm

What a spectacular view! And I love the golden tone. Nice aerial perspective and the composition is perfect. Just the blown out portion of the sky mars it. Will still give a high score.

Summer - gone surfin'

This shot makes me feel like I'm right in the scene. I like the simple composition and the colors. Only thing I wish is the sky wasn't overcast. The image makes me feel sad like the picture was more indicative of the end of summer (no people around and the overcast skies). Good work.

I really love this shot! I love the different shades of blue contrasting nicely with the dark tan sand. And the glare off the water really create a wonderful moody picture. The underexposure youi've chosen really works well here and the composition is very good as well. Only thing is I think there is too much sky, but that's just me...giving a high score.

Summer in Orlando

Lovely composition and beautiful colors. This picture has a painterly quality to it. Hard to tell if the palm trees and buildings are out of focus or a PS filter was applied. Doesn't matter, I find this image exceptional, however you achieved it.

Hahahaha...one of the few kid pictures I like...very cute. Maybe you should have titled it Monster from the Blue Lagoon. I think you lost a little too much detail in the trees and scene in the background, though.

I should have got one of those...

I like your cropping and the colors are nice and vivid. Not sure it says something to me about the seasons.

Despite not liking your title or that you seemed to have used flash, I really like the pastel colors of your background and the DOF you've managed to capture here. The plant in the lower right with it's wisps of flowering is also a nice bonus, but I think the left side of the picture is lacking in subject matter and I wish you were able to balance out the two sides with some more of these flowering plants. The spots of glare are also very distracting and mar this beautiful shot and decrease the good focus you've acheived on your subject's face.

Nice wide angle shot with beautiful color and I like the aeriel perspective in the upper left background. Focus is a bit soft though and I think it could use some more contrast, but on the whole I like it.

The Gazebo

Good focus and exposure, but compositionally, I would have preferred to see not such a centered subject, and more of the steps leading up to the gazebo.

Except for the black line running horizontally in the background, I like the composition alot. The flower really stands out against the white background and I like it's position as well. What spoils this shot for me is the very soft focus.
