Fun stuff! Your point of view really helps add interest to this image! The tones are nice and rich, and I like the smoke for effect.

This is an image in which you've been able to create mystery by your tones and point of view. Well done.

Magic Cards

The softness of the hands puts the attention right to the cards, though I think that a deeper depth of field would still have accomplished this. I like the composition here, and the formation of the cards, too.

NIce composition here, with the horizon low and the streak of aurora in a nice line. Mood is also very nice.

Hello and greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a fine portrait of this lovely dog. You have chosen a close up and unique point of view, which grabs our attention quite nicely. The depth of field chosen works nicely to bring all the attention right to the dog.

The background is a bit bright, but that doesn't bother me so much as it looks like it bothered a few other commenters. I think the reason for the low score is the fact that there's so much color in the photo, when most perceived that the challenge was to take a b/w photo, but in color mode.

To improve the photo, you might try leaving just a bit more room in front of the dog's nose, so it has room to "go" somewhere. Though this is a unique point of view, depending on your objective, you might select one that creates more mood: is endearing, perhaps, or makes the dog seem friendly, sad, vicious, or some other very clear or very perplexing emotion. This is quite a neutral expression, and so doesn't inspire me to think about it much.

Think also of light when shooting, for the more interesting and moody the light is (happy, sad, mysterious, etc.), the more our interest will increase.

So nice work! Keep on shootin'!

This is a clever idea, and well executed. Not only is this original, the textures and simple shapes really work well. 8

Focus is spot on here. I also like how you've positioned the center of the succulent. The radiating petals are restful.

Man, I gotta get me an IR filter. This is a fun effect. The tones turned out so nicely here. I like the placement of the tree and horizon here.
