Simplicity in all its glory. I really like this shot. The DOF works well, the angle is dramatic and visually interesting, and the border is effective and non-intrusive. Very well done.

I like the idea of this shot, but there are a couple of things that IMHO could make it just a bit more powerful...a discernable body instead of the blackness, and making the diagonal just a bit more angled up on the right end (corner to corner). The lightest parts of the jeans are a bit bright on the bottom right corner. Good idea...:o)

Very pretty...love the placement of the palm tree. The bright horizontal band on the horizon where the water meets the sky is just a tad bit distracting but not overwhelming. :o)

The Beach

My favorite of your five images. Bright, vivid colors, interesting viewpoint. The ocean/horizon does seem to split the photo in half...do you have a larger version where you could crop down from the sky to put the sky in the top 1/3, the ocean in the middle 1/3, and the fence in the bottom 1/3? Love the umbrella. :o)

Very pretty. One suggestion might be to boost the color a tad in the blossoms on the tree, bring them out a bit. I like the leading line of the path. The horizon seems just a tad tilted down to the right. :o)
