the corner in this is way too blown out....which interests me as the lighting on the moorse or dear or what ever the stuff animal is very good.

Doorway To No Where
by Rooster

Comment:
like the main subject very much, nice lighting and detail....Iike the idea of the colors of the leaves in the doorway to break up the white BG but do not feel that they might have been the best item to have used. the long stem at the bottom from the one leaf is very distracting and feel it should have been cut prior to taking the shot. May be more leaves would have helpe, maybe less? him it just does't seem to jell.

the frame in this is too filled for my tastes....the composition would have been improved with more above the subjects....the lighting and shot are very good otherwise.

Study

Comment:
the glare of the light in this sort of does it in....shooting of from above would have lessened the glare and also given some better or different shadows to help this out....also the framing of the image at the bottom is too tight.

shadows & reflections

Ahh....i know the problems of this shot all too well: where do I meter to get the best overall brightness with out blowout and if there will enough of it be in focus....it's really tough to do....Very much like how the tree shadow almost blends into the reflected trees, but the reflected trees are too out of focus and the overall image does not quite work....really needed to use a tripod....nice attempt at the challenge this image affords.

nice composition and excellent texture contrasts. for my feeling, the colors appear bit desaturated and feel if they were richer the overall image would be better.

Oil on Canvas

the coloring is a bit dark, I guess for mood, but I cannot grasp what the colors should have been because of it....also the slinky looking item in the foreground might have been re-thought. don't know or care what it is cause it just doesn't seem to belong there...

Shell out of water

Comment:
your framing of this accentuates the negative.....it's just not even and is very distracting....the focus on the shell appears to be a bit soft as well.

Still Live

Comment:
Like the strength the diagonal movement the bark and moss provides as well as the texture contrasts....but perhaps there is one leaf too many....the overall composition might have been better with only one leaf or if the second leaf was more towards the bottom left corner.

For some reason I keep wanting to clean my glasses when viewing this.....just to distracting to me
