Where the Wild Things Are

Cute hamster, but I don't think hamsters are very wild, as they are bread in captivity. The sharpness of your photo is good, but it would have been better if the hamster were in focus and the rest of the cage were a bit softer. Also, the text label just beside the hamsters head is a bit distracting to the overall fun look. I think if you had zoomed in on the hamster a bit more and made this into a vertical format cutting out a bit of the clutter around him, it would have made it into more wilder look that you were after. Otherwise not bad shot.

This is very beautiful photo. I love the feeling of movement in your shot. The warm golden colours add to the almost romantic feel of the whole image. Too bad you coudn't edit out the speck in the middle of blackness and the spot above her head (not your fault, I hate the rules too). I do not like the border as IMO it breaks the feeling of movement and makes it squared off. If you insist on border, maybe just a simple thin white one would have been better. Otherwise really nice image.

The Sword in the Stone

Lovely interpretation of this book. Love the mottled background that totally fits with the image. The shallow DOF is great in this shot. Sharpness is good. In terms of composition, I think it either needs to be centered or more off-center. The way it is now, it is kind of in between which makes it a bit less powerful. Othewise great photo.

The Joy Of Cooking

This photo really expresses the joy. I can see my kid joining yours in the fun. Love the way you captured the chocolate dripping of the spoon onto her/his clothes. It is very spontanious shot. The only distracting bit is the bottom glare on the pot and the harsh shadow the figure casts. Have you considered using no flash and just sticking to normal lighting of the room with longer exposure to compensate.

Great photo. Good choice of sepia toning on this. Sorry, but I wouldn\'t change a thing on this. Well done.

What a superb catch. Lovely colours and shaprness. No visible barrel distortion. Great texture. Simple and fun. Black border would have been probably better, but no points taken for that. Love your photo.

Good shot of an eclipse. However it lacks sharpness. Did you use digital zoom? It looks a bit pixelated. Also composition-wise it is dead center which makes this a bit unatractive. Also, you could consider turning it into black and white more dramatic photo, loosing the greenish cast.

The 39 Steps (John Buchan)

I wonder how many of us are actually counting the steps :-))
I love the abstract look of this photo, the cool simple colours, and the crisp sharpness. I like the way half of the photo is in the sun and half is in shadow. I would have played with the composition a bit more. But otherwise good shot.

A Photographic Guide to Birds

A guide to dead birds? (just kidding :-)) This photo is very well done. Love the shallow depth of filed as it brings emphasis to the bird. The sharpness and detail are amazing. The colours are great - the orange beak with the blue water behind it. The composition is good too. Love the way it curves. This indeed would be a great shot for a book cover.

Grace In Autumn

Love this image. It has golden peaceful feeling. Good sharpness and composition. But please stay away from those dreadful black overpowering borders. A border half the size would have been much more tasteful. This is an overkill. No points taken off for this as the photo itself it very nice.
