Genie....... Wonderful space you have..... a female friend viewing this said "I'd run the other way, actually I like all those mirrors."

I like this neon study. Colours and wire detail are interesting. Square crop is ok, it's my second favorite crop format after no crop.

wonderful composition..... beautiful work. On a site obsessed with megapixals and ultra expensive cameras and lenses - this is refreshing to view here.

Nice gritty texture of this aged wood contrasts with the foliage & vine detail... excellent unnoticeable crop and very good b&w conversion. 7

Impressive..... I love the full-frame version..... composition with inclusion & placement of your subject in the environment for me has more information about setting & light, I like the "air" around it. Minimizes, but does not eliminate the scientific "specimen" type of image that the tight crop has.

Very interesting pair of Ice tongs...... makes me wonder what other treasures are in that shed. Good black & white.

Shades of Green

The crop is ok, but I have a bias for full-frame ..... Clean green - excellent texture - simple, elegant frame, beautiful work.

Glow

........ the apparent aperature limitations you have described for full clarity leaves you only an option to utilize selective focus - I think pretty well done on this one. (ursula certianly uses this technique effectively) Composition is quite good, as is what appears as the lucious red/orange natural colour - It looks to be very natural.. . Or a drastic alternative as in "painted display" in your portfolio, to apply some effect - (which I like a lot, but might have been a detriment during voting) My suggestion for "Glow" or a similar situation where advanced editing is allowed, is to implement some slight selective blur to complement and interact with the selective focus. In Photoshop (8 bit) select a background area and try smart blur.
