What a comfortable photo. Something I never thought I'd say about a photo. It's a wonderful photograph and that just seems to fit. The leaf on the deck is a real nice touch.

Pretty cool photograph. I really like the editing, except for the edges. Very artistic take on school buses.

Seaside Cows
by Beagleboy

Comment:
This is similar to Rikki11's black cat. It's very difficult to meter solid black subjects. You have a double whammy with the bright reflecting water in the background. To get more details in the cows you probably have to blowout the background. Maybe if you changed perspective, so the background is closer to the cow in tones. That or you'll really have read up on metering for this type of exposure.

I was just checking out your portfolio, you have very nice photos in there. The thing I noticed the most about your photographs, is that the exposures are exceptional. You really have a knack for getting them right. This photo is calm and beautiful and a great example of your exposure skills. I do okay with composition, but I'm really weak at exposures...so I'm very jealous of your skills!

I like the tones and colors, they are very warm and rich. So rich that this photo has and almost abstract feel to it. The exposure is great, compositionally it is good but just needs a little something extra to get to the wow level.

You got pretty good exposure in the face considering that the statue is so harshly backlit. I'm not a real big fan of the composition, the dead center is uninteresting and gives you that snapshot feel. If you can reshoot it, try to place in the statue in different positions in the frame and see what really works. Experiment with rule of thirds, it's a good rule. Watch your backgounds too, they can often be very busy and take away from your subject.

This is tough one to comment on, It doesn't have that artistic flair that so many of your photos have. This one seems a bit flat, it reminds some of a historical photo you would see in a museum. For that type of photo its very good, but I would rather see your artistic flair.

I love this photo, its so bright and bold very interesting. It could be a little bit sharper, but that's just minor. I think it might be interesting if the man in the whiter shirt was still more in the picture, instead of leaving it. He does draw the eye over and then out, a bit.

Flower Abstraction

Comment:
I think abstracts a very difficult for mass appeal, the always has be that something extra special to have mass appeal. You have good forms and movement through the composition. I like the strong color, but it does seem oversaturated as elee3009 suggests. I wonder if harder and crisper edges would add to the photo or if would just take away the abstractness of the photo.
