Out fo the Blue

I think a tighter crop and a more narrow DOF would help these flowers jump out at the viewer. The flower arrangement is good, the lighting could be toned down just a bit so as to give a softer look to the flowers. Good picture.

Other than the lighting being a little to bright, this is an interesting shot. Good colors and DOF.

What is wrong in this PEPSI?

This is a decent shot. The framing of it has the bottom of the bottle cut out of the shot and the break of the white behind the bottle also tends to distract the eye from the overall crispness of the picture.

I really like your lighting on the glass itself, I'm not sure, but I think the red laser light around it is somewhat distracting from the near perfect lighting you achieved. I wonder if a shot without the red, and a closer crop on the glass might have had a stronger impact on the viewer.

Nice cloud formation.

Does speeding really save time?

Well done. Might have been useful to have the whole bed of the truck in the shot.

*Composition (content)*
I like how the two points of interest fill the screen. The colors in the hat are really striking. As others have said, just a tad bit of the child face showing may have sparked a more human interest feeling with the shot. As I mentioned in my original comment, the only thing that is a little off is that the child seems a tad out of focus, otherwise your composition and subject matter are good.

*Background*
You have deep focus on this shot which helps the viewer realize that this is a farm setting. The sky is clean without digital noise and the green of the grass is a nice contrast to the orange in the childs clothing.


*Camera Work (Technical)*
Other than your focus being a little off on the child, you have a nice clean shot. Colors are good and although the llama may be a little to bright on the right, it's not distracting enough to be a concern.

*Digital Processing (technical)*
Sharpening is very good (not too soft and no trace of over sharpening).
Balance between light and dark is good. Llama may be a tad bright on the right.
Compression is good (no jpeg artifacts)

*My opinion*
This is a good shot. It is an interesting composition and makes me wonder what the Llama is thinking about the kid and vise versa. Having your perspective at the childs level helps sell the point of the kids interest in the animal. Nicely done shot.

Cute picture. DOF is a little tight for this shot. Would be better if both the kid and Llama were in focus.

Don't understand why the person moved out of the frame during the long shutter delay. I feel it distracts from the shot. Framing is OK as well as lighting.
