Fun - in a properly serious, photographic sense too.

Intriguing, and beautifully photographed. Very strong sense of composition, those lines giving a strong flow through the frame.

I'd guess its HDR, but to my eye it simply looks like something's gone badly wrong with the processing of this image. It seems more like an illustration than a photograph.

Flash Frozen in Time

Comment:
The dynamic nature of the effect of strobe flash is always interesting; unfortunately, I don't find much else here to hold my interest. Inevitably the light is odd, but the composition, the colour and other extraneous elements don't hang together.

Has a near 1950's feel, apart obviously from the colour: simply depth of field, I suppose. Just a portrait, though, to my eye.

The sun also rises over Valley of Death

Nice patterns, well caught and processed. Perhaps lacks some more formal interest for me - something more than just patterns of landscape.

Red Roses

Whether it's your processing, or your camera, there's a lack of real detail in these flowers. The white background seems well done, but for such a simple composition I think you need the absolute clarity of high resolution detail to make an impact.

All is Calm

Nice shooting. The composition feels a little uneven to me - that lines formed by the houses is placed a bit uncomfortably high in frame: I can see your desire to maintain the reflections in shot, but I think including a bit more of the hillside - if there is more - would have balanced the frame better, and would also have made more of the incongruity of those houses nestling against the rocks. The line also leads to that house top left, which is placed rather too high in frame - and too far left perhaps - to keep the eye in frame as one scans the picture.

Dawn on the Mackinac Bridge

Strong dynamic composition - and very DPC at the moment. There's interest in most areas of frame, and the leading lines function well. In the end, for me, its pretty rather than very interesting.

Christmas Future

Has a feeling of being over-smoothed, and for me, isn't an interesting enough composition to really strike home. I like the b/w, but in a composition that devotes everything to eyes, there isn't enough here to really get me.
