Nice simple shot. The colors are rich and the focus is good. I think it is missing something. Maybe a silhouette, or a bird or something to give your eye a true focal point. I might crop out that post on the left and just have the one dark one in the background.

Very pretty but a tad "ordinary." I wish the sun weren't so dead center. Maybe an object, person, or bird, would off set it and give your eye another place to rest. and counterbalance the bullseye effect of the sun's placement. The deep blues are quite soothing.

I remember seeing this shot, or a similar one earlier. Hmmmm

I like the forlorned look on the little one's face. Not overly crazy about the desat, but it does make her stand out amidst the busy legs and feet. Her eyes are beautiful. I wish I could see them again in a portrait shot!! ;~)

Nice detail and variation of color. The wiggly line of the water draws your eye to the mountains in the background.

Lovely vivid colors. I love the silhouettes of the palm trees with the hints of light here and there in the background. Great reflection. The clarity is spot on.

Nice pastoral setting. The light seems just a touch harsh. The house in the foreground helps to anchor the shot. I wish I could see the sheep better. I'm such a sucker for animal shots. The leading line of the road is nice and gives your eye a path to follow.

Really fun and interesting. I like the round and straight combination. The sky is a great backdrop to the image. The reflective quality of the silver orbs is fun and has some whimsy.

Lava Cliffs - Connecticut River

Very pretty. The reflective quality of the water is nice. It seems just a touch overexposed. I might have removed, or cloned out the structure in the foreground as it is a bit distracting. Maybe play with curves a bit. I like the blue tone of the cliff against the green/yellow of the trees.

Very pretty and soothing with the violet blue water and yellow sky and brown sand. I think if this had a single figure, be it a bird, a person, an object somewhere in it, that would really give it the POW that would make it a ribbon winner. It would give a true focal point to the photo. The composition is beautiful and the touch of clouds here and there are a nice touch. ;~) good job

Very pretty. The leading line of the rocks is nice and works effectively as you chose the right perspective. Interesting detail in the foreground too. The blue of the mountains in the background draw your eye to them.
