Undying Love II

Beautiful image, I love the sepia toning. Good composition with placing the swans according to the ROT's. Beautiful reflections and a soft, surreal glow created by great late-or-early lighting. I really like this image, the background is almost abstract (especially as you go back into the distance and th DOF becomes shallower), lending even more impact to the swans. Great job. Wonderful work as usual.

Whoa! I love the juxtaposition of the planes and Golden Gate Bridge, this is a scene obviously not seen very often. You have captured a rare moment in time and that's what I love about this photo. Awesome capture! I would love to see the color version.

Excellent use of leading lines, my eyes are brought from the front immediately to the background as I follow the vines. Also, great use of colors, I love the bright greens and blues, they make the photo really pop. Great photo here with excellent composition and use of color.

Kind of a cliche shot, but wonderfully executed with a fresh new look to it. Great job, nice capture.

Beautiful shot, I really like this, however I think something should be done to bring out the greens more (such as a bump in saturation or an adjustment in levels/curves). I like how the clouds really lead the viewer's eye to the subject.

Wow! I love this! The spotlight effect works wonderfully...was that done in post-processing? If not, hands down to you! What a great moment to capture the sheep, it works perfectly. The light leads my eyes right to the subject. I love the composition here as well. Great shot!
