The Jefferson Memorial

Good composition but the blossoms need to be in focus as well, and I'm not crazy about the cold blue toning. Also looks like horizon could use some straightening.

Deconstructing Innocence

I'm not really sure what to make of this image as the objects in the room are unidentifiable and the title gives no clue. I'm sure there's some good metaphorical explanation, but it's beyond me. Interesting futuristic look to it, though.

Baby with Bear

I like the subtle and subdued lighting. The teddy bear is a great prop and your baby is beautiful. Picture is a bit on the soft side, but that's ok given the subject matter. Btw, I'm not crazy about baby pictures, but this one is especially compelling. Good job.

I like the high key, but think the lighting is too harsh. Not crazy about the composition either as her beautiful long torso looks constrained, contorted, and strained and along with the top of her head being cropped off like it is, she appears freakish. Finally, I would like to see a more interesting and contrasted background. I hope you continue to photograph her as I think she's got unique beauty and very interesting to look at.

I enjoyed the humor and the composition is good. Just think it's too heavy with the Dragonizer effect.

A Vintage Death

Comment:
Cute idea, but the humor really fails me here. Visually uninteresting and boring; Lighting is harsh and the wine/blood gives me a hangover. Doesn't look like you put much effort into it. I want to get away from this picture like I do with an overbearing drunk at a party.

Springtime Yellow

Comment:
Good color contrast, but image lacks detail and is too busy and out of focus. A closeup of one branch or flower against the sky would have more impact, imo. Also, for a shot like this, deeper DOF would be better.

Entre Nous

Nice tones, and interesting subject matter, but the structure and doorwary seem to just dangle in space without a grounding.

Dam

Could be an interesting image as I like the vista/overlook, but it lacks contrast and sharpness, imo. Forground adds nothing to the picture, is ugly, especially the shrub, and takes away about 1/4 of the image real estate. Could you have moved forward to eliminate it? Deeper DOF would probably help sharpness. What aperture/f-stop did you use? Finally, it appears to need a color balance adjustment to reduce cyan. I hope you found my comments helpful and not hostile.

Late Winter Storm

Great capture! Love it! The blown out highlights (was this intentional? my guess is not) and yellow toning really add to the dynamism and energy of this image, as does the flag and black sky. The speed limit sign adds a touch of irony in that it really refers to wind speed, and not to it's usual designation.

The person walking, however, appears too non-chalant for his surroundings and I think someone displaying a gesture of fighting the wind, bracing themselves or holding on to a hat would be more appropo and create greater impact. Finally, compositionally, I would prefer a less centered composition and think about about 1/2" could have been cropped off the left side.

Was this photographed through car or house window? Even with the faults I've mentioned above, I'm giving this a 10 and adding it to my favorites. Thank you!
