I like the dramatic sky. The B&W works well.

Wonderful definition on the skin. Focus is spot on his eye where it should be. Nice composition.

Red Crested Cardinal

This shot really has a lot going for it...an uncommon subject (vs a Gull or Eagle), great diagonal pose, nice BG color & bokeh. If I wanted to be picky I'd wish for more crisp definition in the feathers - but that would be picky! Nice work.

Spring Snow on Tsurubashi

I really love the combination of three elements - the landing position of the bird, the contrast of the form of the bridge, and the look of the falling snow. I wish the bridge were less orange in its redness - or perhaps selectively desaturated a bit since the color really dominates the overall composition. If the bridge were less orange and dominating - I would say this could contend for a ribbon. Beautiful shot.

I understand where the title is coming from but I don't get it. Meanwhile, I really like the photo. Nice composition. Nice use of B&W. A bit shallow on the DOF - the nose, front hair and forehead are noticeably blurry but the focus is spot on the eyes.

I remember going inside this bookstore about twenty-five years ago. This shot really brings back memories.

Great shot. Congrats on the blue.
