The Inner Rose

I like the softness of the yellow, although think it may be a tad underexposed. I like how it fills the frame, and there is some texture on the left side, but would have perhaps liked to have seen a little more texture on the other petals.

The leopard is neat although the blades of grass in front of his eye and over his nose are a little distracting. A fair amount of detail on the fur, bright eyes, and good color. I'm not sure what you did to the background or whether it was part of the saturation/color balance or what, but it looks very unusual and pixelated almost.

Maremagnum at night

A classic night-time shot. Wonderful light, interesting lines and curves, the star-looking effects of the lights, and of course the reflections. Nicely captured.

I like the silhouettes set against the bright reflected sun but find it a little too crowded with some of the people cropped out of the frame. Personally I think it would be a much stronger image and composition had you just had one or two silhouettes. It does make the viewer wonder what they are doing, though.

Hrm, taken through reeds? The slight orange/yellow mostly on the lower right are a little distracting. The blue of the water is good, and I love the reflections. I dont know whether these are two different sized birds or just the perspective difference thing, but they appear different enough to be interesting, and helps the composition. They seem a little soft as if this is a crop from a much larger image, but there is fairly good texture in the feathers. Good shot!

Abandoned Grain Elevator ...up close

The tones are good, certainly conjures up thoughts of rusted metal. There isnt anything here that really catches my eye - no one particular thing that grabs my attention. There are several areas that look like they could be interesting but I feel like I want to get closer and really see those rather than view the whole which isnt as interesting as the details are so small.

The Painted Desert

Wonderful colors and very nice scenery. From the angle it was taken it looks like little bumps in the ground and I think the magnificience that is undoubtly there just doesnt seem to come across as much in this particular image. For similar reasons I think it seems to be lacking a main focus point, esp since it looks like it was taken during harsh light and there is very little texture or light play to control the eye. Still, it's a nice image.

Nice blend of lines and curves and the play of light and shadow. The black and white seems to be lacking a little in contrast and the bamboo seems a little soft too, but the idea is wonderful.

I love the light, it seems very warm. The exposure is great with no blown highlights and a good vibrant yellow. The composition is good and I think the slight green of the leaves in the background adds interest instead of a plain dark background. The water droplets look a little sprayed on but are still pretty! A very nice summery shot.

Very pretty and delicate. I like the pinkish orangish red. I think the muted color compliments the soft focus and delicacy of the image instead of an in-your-face vibrant red. The water droplets of course add interest. A classic rose image.
