Spring Gathering at The Wetlands

Wow, what a view! The colors are very complimentary (thank you nature). I like the inclusion of foreground/middleground/background. At first I thought the birds were too small and a bit of a distraction but then I saw them as just another part of the vastness that this image seems to project. A very tranquil and soothing image.

Reflection on San Francisco

The selective desaturation works really well here. Even the telephone lines add to the urban feeling of the image instead of being the usual distraction. I like it!

Leyli Duck Diving

This is a somewhat difficult photograph to judge. Technically it isnt great, but it has a level of difficulty and a visual impact. The contrast seems very low and there also appears to be an abundance of water spots. The way the crop 'amputates' her legs is also a little disturbing. I think the image has potential, but maybe a few adjustments in post-processing to bring out more of the impact.

Winter Wonderland

I'm assuming this is infra-red, if not, then you succeeded in emulating that feel/style. I like the use of leading lines to get the eye to the trees. It almost looks like an alternative surreal world. Very pretty and appealing to the eye. The blue is an excellent contrast to the white.

A classic image. Great symmetry and reflection. The slight curve of the shoreline gives the impression of a slight unevenness, but it's hardly a distraction. Should score well.

Three Spirits Walk The Water

There doesnt seem to be a specific focal point and so my eyes wander around the image and my interest isnt really held. The idea is good but you need to isolate something more so that it becomes the focal point - whether it be form, movement, color, or light.

I'm viewing this as product photography. The concept is good and has interest, energy, and color - all good with advertising. I'm not sure if it's the type of text on the bottle but it almost seems blurry. If that is the product you're trying to sell then that has to be the sharpest/strongest part of the image, unfortunately that doesnt seem to be the case here. Overall the concept and impact is good, but the execution could do with some work.

The first thing I noticed was the shape and pattern in the nearest tide ebb. It appears to have movement and that helps give the image a little more energy and interest. The black and white conversion looks a little dull and flat on my monitor. I almost feel like you could have recropped it to not include the horizon/sky in order to put more emphasis on the contrast between wave and beach as that is where all the interest is within the image.

Ah, my home castle! Looks pretty good here, you did a good job. I like the way you've caught the light on the side of the keep. Looks just like the postcards. I miss it :(
