fantastic lighting, interesting textures and a great sky. the building seem crowded to the left of the frame though.

Misty Morning

beautifully tones. the square crop works for me here. I like how the complex nature scene just fades off into the fog.

First Light

Comment:
a well composed landcsape shot. it's a little dark on the sand - waiting a bit longer might have thrown more light there which would give you chance to better emphasize the footprints. the prints, to me, give more compositional interest to the shot, so I would have liked them to be more apparent.

Natural Woman

very pretty girl with beautiful dark eyes. I like the off center placement of the subject. the wisp of hair across her face doesn't look natural to me though. It looks too stiff.

In the Fangs of Shadow

Comment:
very dramatic lighting. I like the far off gaze of the child. the out of focus hand is somewhat of a distraction.

The Blue Window

Comment:
simple and effective with great bold colors. I wish there was a little more of the background wall at the bottom of the frame - the sun and the garlands look a little crowded in the lower corner.

Solitude

Comment:
I have knocked other images for having the horizon so slose to the center of the image but it works very well here creating an artificial symmetry that has interesting compositional elements that balance one another in both halves of the frame. the clouds offset the water ripples and the rock provides the focal point. well exposed and great colors!

very nice high key bridal shot. I love the toning of the plants and trees behind her and the way she is holding her veil. The pillars compete somewhat with the bride as main focal point ratyher than framing elements but the image is nicely balanced overall.
