Come Closer

Lighting - subject is well lit in the right spots
Colour - good contrast between the main subject and the background, wonderful palette of green for the background.
Composition - good placement , draws the viewer to the main focal point - maybe just a little too tight a crop on the right. Good use of depth of field,
Exposure - There seems to be some bright spots on the head and around the eye - 1/3 of a stop (or even less) less exposure would probably tone this down a bit
Focus seems to be a bit soft. 8

Sunset at Castle Hill
by BobsterLobster

Comment:
Lighting - highlights the tower perfectly - my guess is early am - very nice gold glow
Colour - The palette is perfect - all colours complement each other and are natural looking
Exposure - good detail in the tower while avoiding any blown out areas in the sky
Composition - good placement of the tower and low perspective - different angles may have shown more of the landscape (if there is more to show)

The angle works here and the arrangement on the plate is good, however the focus and lighting are not quite right.

Those Wacky Icelanders

With composition, simpler is usually better. You have a good idea here, however, I think it's a little too cluttered. Also, the white balance seems a bit off.

This is funny. The expression on the fishies face is priceless.

The crop seems a little too tight top and bottom and I think a little more light on the left maybe through the use of a reflector would do wonders. 5

Full Flush

The white flower set against the red background make it stand out quite well, however I think if there was more light you could bring out more detail in the petals. The curve of the stem adds softness to the image.

Also, if the hand was intentional then a little less pressure with the thumb would add to the softness (IMO).

The Passion of the Flower

This flower has some interesting patterns and textures. Good find.

I think it would make a good macro study. Get up close and personal with it. Moving in closer will also help eliminate anything that is distracting in the background. In this image what I find distracting is the central leaf that is in focus.

Very cool idea and the selective desat works very well. The cropping is just a little too tight on the left.

I very much like the pose, composition here. One thing though, her fingers are cut off. I think it would be better to show her entire hand.
