There are some really interesting diagonals in this shot. It has a great feel of depth to it. Some really nice colors and the shawdow/lighting is really neat. Just one thing I do notice, it feels like it leans slight right(could be me?).

I really like the framing position on this photo. The detail of the blue heron is great, I like that you can see the individual feathers at the bottom of the neck. The sharpness of the beak and eye is very good. I really like the DOF that you used to isolate the Heron.

The lilly pads really give a good texture feeling going back that is also interesting and inviting, I think this rally adds a depth to the photo.

I like the colors in this image, they really pop due to the HDR. As I was looking through your portfolio and came accross the this image I thought at first that the flowers may have been mirrored, but its not the case. I like the back background and postioning in the frame.

The only suggestion I would give is to perhaps sharpen them up a bit, just feels a bit fuzzy. Could be perhaps from the merging?

HTH,

Excellent capture Tim, Love the way the smoke bellows up to the center of the frame the composition and the added frame really make this one stand out above all the others in the challenge.

Congrats on the Blue.

Peter,

Congrats on the score, a 2nd PB and the excellent image. I love the detail and the sharpness of the final edit. Very nicely done. This will look nice on your front page.

I love the detail in the dove and the sharpness of the eye. The slight texture seen in the ruffle of the feather gives alot of interest in the foreground. I really love the white on white with the really shallow DOF and the softness of the hands is really the key to this image as it doesnt allow the skins tones to overpower the white of the dove. Very beautiful and stylish shot.

I would agree that the lighting is a bit harsh, bit I like the composition and posing in the photo and its nice overall. The child has a very cute expression on his face.

you look like me most afternoons after lunch, I get back to my cubical and really want to crash :) I like the backlighting behind the head. It really brings out the textures in your hair.

I really like the texture accent of the table, nice detail in the coffee, nice positioning overall. I think the vingetting adds to the overall shot. Makes me really want coffee!
