The Magic Of Reading

very creative, great use of depth of field, great light on the eyes, you might criticize the light on the top of the hair, but I think it actually adds to the image, the only thing I might change is trying to get the background hillside level (but that is really quibbling)

So cool, a one in a billion find and your focus is spot on....so fine. You cannot criticize this image.

The mist and the grass in front really adds, great job

I suspect you weren't using a polarizing filter here. It would have improved the photo greatly taking the glare off the rocks and bringing out the color in the plants.

the contrast between shade and sunrise is too great to make this a satisfying image.

appears a bit over exposed to my eye

I really like this and think it might do well. IMO waiting until later in the day when the light was a little softer on the dash might have improved the image. You lose a lot in the dash and windows

I am sure this is scoring well. I know it would have been tricky on exposure, but I would have liked to have seen more detail in his hat. I would also like to see a little bit more eye.

Very nice, the light is good, color and contrast are good. Are the darkened edges allowed in Basic Editing?

Surviving the elements

a visually intriguing image and I hope it scores well. It seems that you can see the wind pushing it, but I don't know what it is causing that illusion. Somehow I would like more DOF, but at the same time the shallowness adds to the image. I almost marked this down because the leaf really doesn't look weathered. Great image, wish I had taken it.
