Disneyland?

Wow! I don't know where this is, but this is what I imagine Romania to be like.. :) Castle on a hill with wonderful country around... The teeny tiny road leading up into the hills, the village in the far distance, on the shore of a lake snaking in the background, the wonderful clouds pattern in the sky - so many elements to enjoy!

Not quite sure I get the title, but it doesn't matter. The picture is so wonderful. The dappled light, the kids in the light path, the lone rock jutting out of the lake, the playful orientation, all add up to a nice picture. Converting to B/W is also a great idea to take the focus away from blown highlights.

You don't say! :)
Very nice portrayal of idyllic country life! Always love the dutch windmills, and the sunny green and blue color combination.
Funny that all the sheep are staring at the intruder :) "Go away and let us graze in peace!"

Vernal Fall, Yosemite

Interesting that the foreground matches the rainbow's curve :) Nice composition there. The rainbow needs some boost in saturation though, to stand out more. Must've been a wonderful sight to behold.

Nice Day

Wonderful bokeh and nice pastel palette.
The harsh light on the purple flower and the cutoff wing take away from the scene though. Must've been hard to get one in such perfect focus - I know how fickle the moths are and how it's always windy outdoors when you get to focus :) Good attempt.

Snow Lake reflection (w/IR)

Surreal! Feels very old school - like a velvia scan! Simply love the reflection wrapping around the foreground and how the sky and the foreground rock balance each other out nicely in form. Wonderful composition. Among the nicest photos I've seen under harsh light, making use of it well.

Wow! The subtle palette and the silhouette both work well in focusing us on what's happening in the scene, rather than on any details. Fantastic story telling picture and an apt title.

That water almost looks like ice! Very nice colors and composition. Love the bridge separating the picture into two very different worlds. A nice foreground to contrast the skyline with.

The "Burbs"

The nice and subtle color gradient is lovely and adds interest to the night scene, but I don't see any strong subject or narrative. Also, the half and half division of the pic is not very pleasing. Would've loved the horizon at a third of the pic so that either the city or the sky would've dominated and become a subject to the picture.
