Pelican ACTION !!!

Sharp while retaining huge sense of motion. Needs to be in a photography textbook as a great example of "freezing" motion to put emphasis on it. Tones balance well, and this dynamic image keeps the eye busy for a long time.

These frosty fronds are hard to capture so well. Don't ask me how I know that. 8.

Simplicity of white fabric and hidden hair, purity of light, and complexity of lipstick. Excellent image.

These acrobatic teams really look good flying inverted.:) Well, if this really is an instance of the "invert" adjustment, it is one of the best I have seen and one I enjoy more than usual.

Schoolgirl Reflections

Good capture of spontaneous activity. The girls add a dynamic sense of motion (looking for sure, considering jumping over maybe). While the others on the street add context, The umbrella does echo color in the girls, but I wonder how this would look recropped to just barely exclude all people except the three girls.

Not For Lack of Love

Wonderful sense of genuine togetherness among the subjects. Wouldn't hurt to crop away some of the darker area of white bedding at the bottom.

Cholla Cactus (Joshua Tree)

I am enjoying how well you handled the sky and clouds. As a composition, the winding trail provides the most interest. I have a hard time deciding if this is mostly about the trail, or mostly about the vast broad landscape with big sky and endless cacti. From this vantage point, putting emphasis on the trail might work wello (using a portrait crop). Wonder if there was an opportunity during shooting to step to the right enough to make the path more of a diagonal element.

Banana Pancakes

Does draw me in and make me want to learn more. The size of the bright area on the back wall takes me away from this interesting subject. Mabye consider a crop that eliminates the back pan close to the wall while retaining a bit of that orange container in front.
