NYC sunset

Comment:
Even though sunsets are traditionally landscape, I think this shot would be stronger if cropped almost in half to a portrait view. The statue is such a strong vertical element (and strong cliche) that I think it should be emphasized. I think the bird would be OK if the stature wern't there and it was justa harbor sunset, but here I think it's more of a distraction.

Did you try going the other way and de-colorize the background instead?

Interetsing and subtle frame enhances the 3d look...hope you don't mind if I steal the technique! What color was the flower originally?

Look here dammit!:-)

Great action shot -- that's not really a flying worm is it? I didn't think of "chumming" for bird photos...

I just shot some interlacing branches, but without that lovely snow...

I might have darkened the sky a teeny bit to saturate the color more, but that's just my style for processing this type of shot. Can't really suggest any other improvement.

I think the stripes on the shirt don't quite go with the photo style...perhaps a rumpled cotton work shirt would "fit" better...otherwise well-done!
