"Having a Bad Day?" Encouragement card

I'm so glad somebody else used a funny card. Mine isn't doing so well, but these are the types of cards I buy. I think it woiuld be funny if inside, it read "Season's Greetings!" I have a lateral sense of humor as I'm sure you do. The detail is funny and it almost has the "Oh, my dad is being a goof again" sense to it. I like the tight crop as it works for a card, but not the best for a "good" photograph per se. Upon 2nd review I'm upping the score.

I've never seen a wild life category, but if I had, this would certainly work. The greens and yellows are very striking. The lighting showcases his skin very well. I might blur out the background a bit as it is a bit distracting. I think "Hang In There" would have worked too. hee hee

Friendship

I think the composition of this is a tad busy. The ceramic sculpture in the lower part is too distracting and doesn't add to the shot at all. What if you cropped to just below the dove on the ledge? I still think it would work and you could even zoom in more on the bird. AS it is, there is so much going on, that there isn't a place for the eye to rest. I don't really see the connection between friendship and a dove with some garden statuary but that's not the point. The clarity and focus is there. The lighting is good. Just delete some of it, or shoot in an area that has more solid surface, and I think you have a winner.

This really does look like a greeting card set up. I'm glad you chose a different category as well. It is a bit busy, but considering the subject matter, it works. Nice composition and clarity.

A Portrait

Darling model. I love her freckles. The picture in the background is very distracting. I'd like to see a solid backdrop so you only focus on her face!

Birthday (40 and over...)

HEE HEE - nothing like candles in a Twinkie. ;~)

I like that the candles have started melting down and the flames are high. I think I'd remove the plastic fork in the foreground, as it's blurred and doesn't add anything to the shot. I'd like to see more negative space in front of the plate. The DOF is good and the idea is fun.

Fall Begins

Lovely vista. The warm golds are soothing and certainly denote fall. I like the structure in the background - it helps give your eye a place to rest amidst the splendid panorama. I can see this as a postcard!! "Thinking of You" would work for this shot too!!

Sympathy

This seems a tad out of focus to me. I think a single blossom would denote the sense of a loss better than two. I'd clone out the bug as it doesn't realy lend itself to the category you chose. I like the idea of the fully opened blossom - like it's served it's time here on earth.

Perfect for the category I love the sun's reflection coming right to the boat. Great silhouette. The golden tones are warm and friendly. Good choice.
