On the edge of paradise

Beautiful colors going on here. The lighting you captures is surperb. I love the lines you created with the grass it moves your eye throughout the frame but leads you to the upper right which circles distract a bit. Though I think that has more to do with the actual lens in this case, because I think the use of depth you were use was a good idea. Focus is great. A really nice capture.

I love the mimiced pose and the general direction they are looking. The tail makes a wonderful line throughout the frame, though I would have liked to see the end of it. White balance seems a little off (too blue), and fixing that alone would make the colors really pop. Still a great capture of some very incredible animals.

The detail is incredible here. I love the unusual pose of the bee. I have never seen one quite like this.The colors pop really well. I think the only things hold it back are the busy background for this type of photo and maybe a slightly different angle. Still a terrific macro photo.

Birds on a wire

This is one of the best "bird on a wire" photos I have seen. What makes it is the two interactive birds which helps fill in the negative space so common in this type of photo. I also like the gradual background color transition, it really concides with the line nicely. I also like the fact of the one brown bird. It is the "different" things in this often photographed idea that make this one a winner. A terrific photo.

Great ethereal feeling going on here. The lines of the fencing is terrific, and I like how you put them slightly off center as generally you see these types of shots straight on. The horizon is slightly leaning which is a slight niggle. It appears to have a very difficult shot exposure wise. Considering all things it is well done. I might try a grad ND filter for this type next time and try to brighten the few trees afterwards. Still, I really enjoyed this photo!

A terrific "real world" type of photo. I like the B&W treament here. The exposure is spot on. I like the multitude of lines you have managed to create here. I might have preferred the child on the bottom to be fully in the frame, but I love his pose. A very special type of photo.

You have managed to capture a very cute moment in time. Wonderful timing of the photo.I think the focus might be just a tad off, but nothing to get excited about. I would almost be tempted to convert this to B&W since the green grass really since to contradict the monochromatic scene.I love the vertical lines you created in both the legs and trunk. A very nice capture.

Those clouds are very cool, similiar to the Aurora. The overall composition of this is terrific. A good showcase of near/middle/far or triangles (whatever you want to call it). It really helps with the eye movement. I like the detail here and the nice lighting in the background mountain. I love the pose of the hiker, though I don't like how he is very dark. Fill light would have brought this to the next level or going the opposite pure silhoutte. Still a great capture.

A terrific silhoutte, man on top of the world capture. I like the gently slope of the mountain which I think adds a tremendous amount and helps move your eye left to right. The person walking also helps with the same eye movement. The rounded clouds then moves you back the other way. Finally, the centered sun lining up with the bottom folks brings you up and down. As you can tell, eye movement is terrific here. A wonderful photograph.

I can see why you like this one. The side lighting is very original. The textures is makes in the trees and the range from white to black is very unique. I'd be almost tempted to make this a vertical panaromic format since I think some of the left side isn't helping the photo. This is the type of photo that gives me alot of ideas for my own shots. I like it!
