These are not easy to get! Good job. I think I might like the contrast bumped just a bit. It might also be fun to play with the color tones...I would try a bit of blue to get that cold feel to it.

Perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

Nice shot and perfect title. There is something about the shot that makes me want to see more texture. It almost seems too smooth, although I don't see any Neat Image or the like in your editing steps. The final product has nice tones, good composition and effective lighting - I'd just like to see a bit more sharpness perhaps to bring out the textures.

I like hot air balloon shots, and this one is unique. The flames make it above the ordinary.

Beautiful lighting, colors and composition. I really do like the editing, although it makes it appear less of a photo and more of a painting. Depends on the look you desire, I suppose.

Class VI Whitewater

What an awesome shot! This is one of the biggest limitations of my 717 - not good at all for action shots. You've really captured the moment here with the water, the colors and the stopped action. The only thing I would like better is if we could see more of the face and expression of the person.

Figured I'd add one more comment to make my total an even 10!

Very nice job on this one. I wish they had just tad bit more headroom, and maybe a bit on the right though. I think I like your photos so much because they generally evoke an emotional response of some sort...and this is a great example. Cute girls and wonderful idea. Technically, the left side suit has some blown highlights, but good job otherwise.

Technically not bad, but I don't like this one nearly as much as some of your others. I think the pose and expression are just a little odd to me. The tones and lighting are nice. Not sure about the cut off ear.

The lighting and dof add so much impact to this shot. Someone else could take just a snapshot of this same scene and it wouldn't work nearly as well. It really catches the feel of the ceremony I think. I would probably clone out the colors of the symbol or whatever that is under his arm sleeve.

You have a very nice eye for composition IMO. This is a wonderful character shot and the b/w works well. I do wish the highlights weren't blown out so much, but I have a feeling you probably have worked very well with the original you had. Another good job.
