The Old Pack Horse Bridge

Wonderful shot with great representation of depth. There is definitely a foreground, mid ground, and background in this image. The paths help take the viewer through the scene. A circular polarize would help reduce some of the glare on the stones but otherwise its great exposure wise. I like the nicely saturated colors.

At first glace I was like "WOW!". Unfortunately, I see some glitches in the processing though that take away from this otherwise great image. There is ghosting in the sky and there is a sudden transition between grey and shadow in areas that seem strange. I am guessing that this was a HDR image made from multiple exposures and the images aren't quite lined up.

Interesting shot. The image seems to be a bit dull however and could use some adjustment to levels/curves to bring the whites closer to white. (i.e. the scene appears to be underexposed.)

Beautiful scene that tells a great story. Background is a little bright but not overly so. The people in the shot are definitely engaged. (i.e. interacting with each other) and you've captured the connection between them quite well. Great DOF and good sharpness and focus on the subjects.

Calm before the Storm

Processing is a bit off here especially with the haloing around the silo and uneven burning in the sky around the trees. Composition is a bit two dimensional as well. I'd be curious to see what this would look like if the buildings were shot at an oblique.

Beauty in Black and White

Great capture. Excellent lighting and good focus. Not sure about the expression on her face. (Almost looks like she is chewing something).

Good separation from the background. I might want to see a bit more light on the right hand side of her head. (Reflector would help there I think)

Interesting image with lots of potential. Unfortunately its a little washed out and overexposed especially in the sky. Levels and curves correction in post processing would definitely help. With the levels corrected, the colors would appear richer and more vibrant.

Compositionally there isn't really anything for my eye to rest on. That being said I do see some nice wedge shapes in this image which could be used to anchor the image if you were to shoot from a different angle.

strange dodging on the tree. The upper branches are silhouettes while the large branches have detail. I'd consider bracketing exposure and letting HDR software help with filling in the detail.

Fantastic capture. Beautiful bokeh in the background. Nice focus and sharpness on the water drop. Highlights are bright but not overly so. This is a shot I wish I had taken.

The Scavenger (Gyps rueppellii)

Excellent image. Nice detail throughout. Sharp without being overly so. I like the subtle tones in the beak. Great colors. I wonder (just out of curiousity) what this would look like in black and white.
