Great shot and very cute and funny. The only improvement I would have liked to have seen would have been less shadow on the doggies face and eyes to highlight it's expression. Well done.

Worries Far Away

With this picture's bright and vivid colors, I don't find anything in this image that suggests any kind of worries, as stated in your title. Focus and exposure are perfect, but I find the composition not to my liking, as the boat is too centered in the bottom.

Wonderful composition with the near/far effect and the contrast of the foreground/background colors. I also like the way you've captured the haze in the town which really adds to the authenticity of the season. Good job.

You just got to love that blue ! Composition is also wonderful even with the metal rod coming out of the boy's shoulder. I wish the rocks weren't so overexposed, though. Meets the challenge well in showing a summertime activity. Well done.

Great shot and wonderful detail in the subjects. I really love the vivid and rich colors and the contrast between the browns and yellows here. DOF is perfect and I like your angle-of-view. Well done.

I think the composition could have been more pleasing had the background been more interesting and less commonplace, but I like the image design, as well as, your cropping and angle-of-view. I also find your colors to be off and the lighting to be too harsh. Your subject certainly meets the challenge requrements as it portrays a common summer pastime.

The flower and the bee

DOF is excellent and I love the contrasting colors of the brown of the background with the gold/yellow of the flower. I just wish there was sharper focus overall, expecially on the bee, which does not stand out.

Small Summer Falls

VERY nicely captured waterfall and I love the contrast with the solid boulders. However, the composition is a bit weak, I feel, as I would have preferred to see a wider angled shot showing the setting this scene exists in.

Two Boats

Very beautiful picture! I love the composition and perspective you've captured here, as well as, the rich tones in the deck and boats. Wonderful color contrast between the foreground and background landscape, as well. Focus is sharp. I just find the detailless and blown out sky to be it's achilles heal. Still, an absolutely terrific picture.

Wonderful dramatic shot that has a lot of impact for me. I love the composition and lighting and the contrasts of color. Lost detail in the black forground trees are a nice touch. Well done.
