Lovely Still life shot of Keepsakes.
The border being dual color is slightly distracting from the nice image - would've been better as a single color or as a gradual gradient rather than the abrupt color change.

Simply Serene

Comment:
I love the lines (shore and horizon) and the patterns (clouds and sand) just by themselves. The high contrast and the sharpness though, are at odds with the "serene"ness in the title. Might've been better off as a Black & White I think.

Morning Bath

Hope your camera survived the bath :)
Wonderful Sepia tone conversion and great capture of a country-side scene. Thankfully, I just caliberated my monitor properly and can see such pictures correctly. Otherwise I would've wanted some more detail on the black cow. Hope you don't get any "underexposed" comments.

Love the camaraderie among baby elephant seals here.This would've probably looked even better in a slightly higher contrast Black & White.

Midsummer Lightning Over Nantucket Sound

Comment:
Woah! Beautiful composition and perfect exposure! Very angry and sinister clouds unleashing their master weapon! Delightful! Wish you'd used a border that's less bold or no border at all on this one.

The picture's oozing some pretty colors out! :)
Delightful bokeh, lovely color palette, and spot on focus on a difficult subject outdoors. Amazingly crisp. Love the bug's wings and the diagonal composition.

Lone Cypress

Woah! Beautiful color gradient in the sky, and wonderful silhouette of the Cypress. The subtle red palette on the ground moss, and extended exposure smoothening of the waves.... Wow!
The border is ridiculous though - it's almost on the verge of reducing the picture's awesomeness - I sincerely wish you didn't use a border or used one less bold/obtrusive.

Harvest

Comment:
Beautiful lines! Love the composition as well - the square crop, the two leading line patterns, the harvester being where it is at the intersection. Wish the picture was underexposed a little - would have avoided the blown highlights on the harvester, as well as made the lines more prominent I think.

Cascading Water
by robertmcd

Comment:
Whenever I see cascading falls, the picture I think of is this:

The falls are nicely framed in this one with a natural border all around.
But the falls being busy only to a quarter of the picture leading out of the frame, leaves the rest of it quite empty of action and unable to support the main subject well. I don't know how the terrain is and if you could get any closer, but filling up a majority of the frame with the cascading falls would've wowed me. Good luck.

Times Square

Very cool! Almost grunge. The clouds in the background look like an angry volcano! The B/W conversion makes us focus on the busyness and crowds rather than on the neons of the signs. Good idea!
