This is really cool. Love the sky in the mirror and the way the blues in the front sky frame it so nicely! Great catch and I hope you get a chance to recreate with your updated camera!

Religion - one of the most destructive forces in the world

Technically, I see a few issues. Pretty evident haloing around the steeple and cross. It seems the picture quality is a bit low, with the steeple and cross not being very clearly edged and just a general lack of detail. I like the composition, although I might have preferred the cross at a slightly more "straight on" angle.

As far as the message of the photo , [climbing up on soapbox] There certainly is a side to "religion" that can be considered dark. It does seem like Christianity takes a lot of abuse...as you don't see the icons, holy items or sacred words of other religions singled out as often for negativity.... and if it does happen there's usually an uproar about being non tolerant of other faiths. A lot of good has been done in the name of religion as well. Anytime you get folks feeling very strongly one way or another about an issue, you will see extremes in actions as well. Even Jesus pointed out how dangerous it is to focus on the "doing" of religion, vs. actually living a life of faith. [stepping down from soapbox]

I would not have used this message, but I understand it. Although I am a Christian, be assured that I have not lowered your score because of it.

I like this a lot. Almost an abstract feel to it, but I can tell what it is. Great motion to the water and wonderful range of tones, although hard to believe it wasn't edited to b/w! You should make this one a print.

Her Eyes

Wow! Those eyes just pop out at ya! The focus on the face seems a little soft to me for some reason. Really nice catch of this expression.

This is just a treat for the eyes. Colors, bubbles, flowers, water...all sorts of fun things all mixed in together. Great idea and I like the way it turned out. Nice, sharp image.

I really like the colors of this shot. Nice rosy corals and pinks. I also like the composition, with the tree branch hanging over and framing the top of the pic. I would probably crop just a smidge off of the left side. Nicely done.

Amazing color. You do so well with the colors and presentations of your shots. This one really made me want to look at it for a while and just figure everything out...see what all is there and just enjoy it. I wish there was not quite the bright hot spot in the sky, but that's very hard to prevent in this type of shot.

Purple Rain

This is awesome! I even like the title. I am a sucker for well done water drop photos, but the multiple drops in this one, along with the purple tones make it more out of the ordinary. I'm not sure I like the border all that much. Great job.

I think this is an awesome idea to play around with. Might be a nice subtle way to do a nude shot as well. Like the other commenters, I agree the background is the biggest distraction here, with the sags and wrinkles. The lighting isn't bad, but I would try different poses as well. I might have to try this sometime.
