The colors of this sot are beautiful, and are accented well by the cloud formations. I would only try a small crop at the top of the frame to remove some of the less exciting cloud forms. Other than that its a very nice shot.

Makka,

I have commented on the portrait of the studio test with your son, do you have multiple back drops or are you replacing the backdrop in photoshop. I am Also very jealous of this setup as I havent been able to setup a studio as of yet.What type of lights did you get if you dont mind sharing some info about the setup I would be grateful.

Thanks
Rich

Studio Light Test

I like the background coloration. I also think the skin tone is a bit washed, but better to overexpose in this situation and pull back some than underexpose and have noise. The only other opinion I have is not so tight a crop on the sides of the photo. Just my opinion but the shirt comes close to the edges on the side and it makes me think its a bit cramped. Awseome setup though btw...

Noble

I like the composition and pose of the dog. Your right the demeanor of the dog does speak noble in volume. Great sharpness and DOF. I like that each individual hair is sharp. I also like that the dog isnt looking directly at you. Great Portrait.

I have to say, there are alot of wonderful images in you portfolio. But out of them all this one speaks to me. I love the capture of movement over the wings and the glow of the afterburner. I would try to use selective color in photoshop to bring out the blue in the sky a bit more to contrast the plane a bit but this is a Awesome photo. Could probably make a mint off of it.

What type of lense were you using if you dont mind me asking???

I like the leading lines created by the statues in fromt of the building. The monochromatic(b&w in color) feeling of the photo is nice also. Very candid snow shot.

Reaching Out to the Sea

I like this compostion, I do not think the murkyness of the water takes away from the shot but adds a touch of mystery to the overall branch pointing out to the islands beyond. I also love the contrasts of colors in the water and sky.

Road to....
by wingyisleeds

Comment:
I like the contrasts of colors throughout the photo, but I would have liked to see a bit more of the road. I think it would look really cool if you could get above the road and the area and take a shot. The rolling hills add alot to these kind of shots.

Geranium

Comment:
This is a nice macro shot of the geranium, the background adds to the photo with the softness of the greenery behind, and the flower is nice and sharp. Good Job...
