Nice shot - nice control of the lighting, to get that level of exposure and only as much glare as you did aroudn the lights. This is a very striking, and lovely, picture.

Fascinating subject - the background is somewhat distracting, though, especially the tree; a shallower focus might have drawn the eye more completely to the man in the foreground.

Nice, nice use of the vivid foreground trees to "frame" the mistier background. Nice division of the frame between the foreground, the misty area, the clouds, and the clear sky. This is the sort of picture that just makes you want to step into it.

Birder`s world magazine

I find it hard to imagine a chicken on a magazine about birding, but it's a gorgeous shot - the framing, the background, the lighting are all just perfect. (If the rooster we had when I was a kid was looking like that, however, he'd have been pecking the camera and photographer very shortly after.... :)

Nice shot - I like the reflections and lighting here, and the fact that they're both present, and don't take over the main subject.

Perspective and your lens play tricks here - they both look (from one side) like they lean in, but they look parallel to each other, so it looks like the whole thing is angled - but which way it appears to be angled, depends on which side your eyes travel in from. Distracting and a little disturbing, in what is otherwise a lovely shot; the buildings are a really good choice of subject as far as their own appearance and contrast to each other.

Nice framing of the shot overall. The way the light washes out the upper part of it was distracting for me - maybe if you'd angled the camera a bit lower, lost the tops of the trees, it might have countered some of that, but I'm not sure it wouldn't have lowered the shot too much to work...was the light/look bad from the other side?

NICE macro - the freezing of an instant, the tight focus on the foreground - keeps the background from taking over at all or being busy, and the detail here of both flower and bee is gorgeous.

*grins* Nice joke. Cute cat, too, looking appropriately crazed for a sports fan. And on a more serious note - I like the way the ball was centered, the way it weights the picture.

Nice shot! Very good balance/placement within the frame - the woman, the railing, the hilltops, cutting it neatly.
