time to cleaned my basement

The lighting of this image is very unattractive to me. It feels as though it's a low-res scanned Poloroid that was cropped too wide(hence the white strip on the right of the image). I think some darkening and contrast, maybe some noise removal, could have really salvaged this image.

I was going to do a shot like this, but then I realized that I had no tall grass to shoot because everything around here is dead from drought. I like the overall composition, but the colors are not as vivid as I think they could be. You might consider doing a selective desaturation on every tone but the reds to make that lawmower pop out against the rest of the composition.

I've Put Off Throwing Away Last Year's Roses

The lighting makes this appear overexposed. Something warmer would have been more convincing. Some selective saturation (esp. oranges and greens tones). I recognize and understand that you WANTED these flowers' wilt to come out. But with so little color against that stark black backdrop, it feels like just a faulty exposure. A little creative use of a sharpening brush tool around the flowers and leaves might have helped, too.

Long Overdue

Nice idea. You could use this to creatively propose, of course. ;-) From a photographic standpoint...the composition is attrative, but the focus is not sharp enough to be persuasive.

Going to Church

Wow...this is such a creative vantage you've got going for you here. If you could have gotten the camera just a little lower, you could have lost the hint of the streetlights in the lower right by the church. It gives this building a sense (even if just an illusion?) of being in the middle of nowhere--a bit of architectural grandeur in the middle of an otherwise unimproved wasteland. Very nice. You might consider, too, lightly dodging the shadows on the front side of the church. I mean, the contrast is nice as is, but there's some nice things to be seen there and might come out a little more if the shadows weren't quite so overwhelming. Overall, I rate this one an 8.

I really like the colors, but I am struggling to find the focus of this shot. It feels too much like a collage, and as such it's not as striking or original to me as something with a more clearly defined subject.

This is a very beautiful composition. Did you apply selective desaturation to achieve this effect, or is this "au natural"?

The Ability to See - (Put off getting my eyes examined)
by InClearView

Comment:
I like it a lot...but I think it suffers from the typical "indoor color effect" which is nice in theory but rarely works out well in practice--at least in my limited experience. If I were you, I might try this one in black-and-white or another two-tone combination, and then tweak for enhanced contrast.

Very clever.

Spending Time in the Word

I did one very similar to this. I like the perspective, but the focus feels a little too soft to convince me. The way I rectified this (we'll see how the voters feel about it) is by using the macro feature to zoom in on one particular verse or passage. You might try that and see how it works for you.
