Great tones and soft flow of the water and capture of the fog/mist. Like the composition very much.

Under Delicate Cover

I like the idea of this very much, like the abstract of it a lot. I would think the delicate parts, that of the painting between the spokes, be shown more than the abstract of the spokes or at least more of a balance between the two.

Amazing colors and capture of the bird its silhouette just about perfectly placed in the diagonal stream of lighit. This almost looks like multiple exposure with the dark orange color on the left. The horizon of that area is in exact line with the remainder of the image.....Just cannot imagine how you accomplished it. That said, it does detract a bit the glory of the image and think that you might have cropped in left and presented the remainder in a portrait orientation. The exposure is so great and the compostion is as well.

Super portrait of this Spaniel. I am enjoying the detail of this canine very mucy as well as the beautiful sad expression. THe chocice of background was good as there colors in it that compliment the coloring of the detail the dog. I'm sure...well let's say I am positive you might have gotten something about the cropping off of the top of the head but that has not bothered my viewing of this image at all. Wow! Great.. excellent image.

Shooting birds is not my forté and capturing them has daunted me. I have never gotten one half as good as this. I like the detail of the neck and the crown. THe detail is a bit lost under the beak and I think the subject to high up in the frame. Love that brilliant blue eye.

Milkmaid in the Meadow

Very nice image in a very classic style. Like the softness of the meadow flowers and the costume on your model. Even in profile it is evident that the subject is lovely but seeing more of her visage might work better for this, IMO, as well as having the headpiece either smaller or back a bit off of her face. The crop is a bit too tight for my tastes and I would have liked to have seen more of the field about her.

And The Heavens Opened...

I like the rays at the bottom and the nice silhouette of the tree. The tree gets a little lost at its top and left side in the dark of the sky....I am not a dodging burning expert at al...trust me...but I think a bit of judicous dodging about the tree in the aforementioned areas might have helped the tree to stand out more. Nice work none-the less.
