Catherine, great shot! I love the look of the orange light offset by the wonderful blues in the water.

The Thinkers Corner

I don't mind the motion blur of the leaves, as long as the main subject is nicely in focus (which this one is). It lends a nice soft quality to the photo. there does appear to be quite a bit of noise, probably due to the 30 sec exposure. might try some noise reduction software, or use CS3's noise reduction in the Raw converter.

I really like this one. the other truck in the background works, too. I like the blue color; it really makes the truck pop out of the frame.

I also like the toning here. and there's a pleasing softness to it, too!

for old weathered wood, I usually prefer this color palette. when I set WB, I usually go for this look. but I have to admit, I kind of like your blue version just as much. It lends a certain coolness that looks kind of winterly.

Ragged Red

I also prefer the BW version. I bet if you had done another white balance, you could have gotten a more brownish red color, instead of bright red. Might try playing with white balance as the month goes along. It can be fun to change WB using the grass, or a white card. can give different looks that work in different situations.

the tilt works here. the dark stairs lead me right into the frame. the glow effect looks cool on the leaves, too.
