I usually do not like flower shots. This one is great! I love the use of extreme wide angle on this shot. Great sharpness and detail on the flowers. Which lens did you use? 8

Simple, striking, and elegant. I would love this shot late afternoon with the sun striking the building. I imagine you get amazing color shifts. Nice work. 8

I really like the visual contrast between the buildings, ground and sky. Nice use of threes throught. 8

Three Blue Buildings
by BikeRacer

Comment:
Love the strong colors in this shot. The sail 's shadow is unexpected and blends in well with the car and three folks walking. Hmm, three windows per level, three modes of transport, three cars, three sets of barred doors...Threes all over! I'd like to see the same building later in the day with some different sunlight color, but this is still a really well composed shot. 10

"Hey, Mrs. D., can Joe come out to play?"

My folks have a cat named DiMaggio. We got him the week Joe died. Nice title. Go Yankkes. :) On the technical side- this should would have benifitted from some stronger lighting. It's pretty dark, and even some minor tweaking in levels might give it more pop. I'd also use just one baseball in the image. When I was playing yardball growing up we only had 1 ball. :) A brighter better image would have this an 8. As is, 6.

This is a beautiful shot. Black and white is an excellent choice. I love the look on the baby's face. This is a really great spin off the typical nekkid baby picture. 9

Lincoln Center Reflections

Great shot! Nice strong center focus, I love the square windows on the one side and the arches on the other. The reflections from the recent rain really add to the moment. The thing that makes this shot is the cop walking across the foreground. Great job. 9

Summertime! Ah, the visions of my childhood. :) I love the motion in this one. Great exposure, great choice of foreground element in the cottoncandy/funnel cake stand. 9

Province House

Okay, you have multiple sources here. The problem comes from how far back you are when the flash goes off. Most camera flashes will only go about 10 feet with 5 really being the optimal range. The biggest thing you can do to improve the shot is move forward. That gets the flash into a range it can actually work.
