My kind of country

I really like the wide ratio for this landscape and I also like the minimalist approach. I think a couple of things that would have made it stronger would have been a little more saturation of the yellows and also the horizon seems a tad bit off of straight. Other than that it is a very pleasing shot to look at.

I have been wanting to try a shot like this for a while now. I like the cool star from the small aperature, nicely done. I think the only thing that I would change here is to give it a wider ratio and crop off the top a bit, it would help because your general direction of the cars is a left to right, the top distracts by adding an up-down movement to the shot.

Excellent shot. Great clarity, framing, and composition. The DOF is perfect here and gives the shot great depth. I enjoy the lighting here as well. You should feel very proud of your work.

I still like this one, though not as sharp as your other bee shot. If the focus could have been more on the bee it would have been right on par with the other. Nice capture though, the buggers can be tough.

Composition is spot on. I think what could have helped here would have been a little more light on the lizard as it seems a tad dark (maybe why it's not as sharp?), now I know animals shots are tough because you can't say "Hey, move into the light a little." So I'm just being nitpicky on your excellent work.

Great detail and lighting. The framing and composition work well together here, very strong aesthetics and exposure. I like that you can see all the pollen fuzzies, nicely done.

Drip.. Drop

This one would have been really neat in landscape format. I really like the bokeh and clarity of the droplet. Great exposure. The landscape format would have made the eye follow the twig to the droplet more naturally. Well done.

Those water droplets are very cool. Great POV, DOF, and overall clarity. I really like the curves here as they grab our attention as they are not your conventional branch. If I had to nitpick...well, there isn't anything. Well done.

Ah, I like this one much better. Much more even lighting and I think the tighter crop serves you well here as it brings more focus to the Presidents' face.

Ooo, I have always wanted to go there. I feel that the lower right hand side is a tad dark, but with your work all I can do is nitpick because I have always been a fan of your work.
