Into the Sun

This reminds me of just a quick snapshot, with no forthought. It is underexposed, and has no sense of portraiture at all. The lens flare is distracting. Put him up against a solid background and zoom in on just him without all of the background foliage.

This is grainy, overexposed and not clear at all. She has lovely hair and features and in the right light and with clear focus, this would really work.

What darling babies. I wish they were more up close. It would be wondeful to have them up against a solid background. With the natural setting, it has more of a snapshot sense. What beautiful children!

HEE HEE - nice clear shot. I think I'd straighten the horizon - it wouldnt affect the shot, but just make it more level. I like the one barely opened eye. Nice detailing of the kitty's face. This has a snapshot sense to it but the clarity is good.

She is lovely and the lighting is nicely done. I think I might have used a little post editing to soften some of the imperfections in her skin and still left it with a natural feel. The bricks create a monochromatic theme with her dark skin tones, but I'm thinking either a black solid background or possibly a white one would really give this some more punch since the pattern is a bit distracting from her face.

The simple blue and black work so well. The intensity is great. I like the composition and your "down on the ground" sense. Very pretty!

Very pretty. The vibrance of the pinky red is wonderful. I like the droplets not only on the flower but coming down. Well done!!

Great depth of field. Is this a rule of thirds reject? I like her gaze - makes you wonder what she's thinking and looking at.

Just love hot air balloons. This is great with several speckled throughout the sky amidst a glorious setting with the reflection! Super composition. The colors are terrific. My one critique would be to possible straighten out the horizon, but otherwise a wonderful shot!

Mount Olympus

How did I miss this? It is amazing. The composition is perfect. The rocky foreground with it's roundness makes for a great grounding force for the peak of the mountain. Lovely colors too - so rich! This is one you can study for a long time. Aaaah! What a joy.
