Wild Strawberry Blossoms

Oh, these little delicate blossoms are pretty. I haven't seen wild strawberries since we moved to Florida. This picture really takes me back to a world that has gentle Springs.

Love the light and focus and the bright colors. Your comments are very interesting too. I'm not much of a stickler for noise, but in this case I think Neat Image would improve the image.

I see you!

Beautiful color and great detail. Two things bother me just a bit. First the beak seems a bit blown out. I wonder if a little black in soft light mode would improve that. The second is something you can't do anything about, and that is the direction of his gaze. The eye is so clear and strong, I would really like to see him looking straight into the camera so I could get more of a sense of connection with him.

This is spectacular portrait. The sweet expression, the color on the tip of the nose, the fabulous focus and detail. The light and crop are perfect too. Love it!

What a nice expression you captured on that handsome man! I feel like the image needs a little levels or brightness adjustment -- it seems a bit dim.

I love all the black & white lines in the zebras and the funny face in the middle. They really do look like they are huddled talking over some controversial call. I like the title and the b&w conversion, and the very nice composition.

It's a nice event photo, although I'm not sure I would consider it a portrait. I guess the voters didn't think so either. Anyway, the event looks like fun -- you captured that nicely.

Portrait of a Young Man

You captured a lot of emotion in his face. I'm not sure whether he is about to cry, has just stopped crying, or is about to smile. Whatever the situation, he is adorable, and the light, focus, and color are very nice.

Something Fishy

He looks like things are not going so well. Did you catch him at something other than fishing? Is he hiding something behind that bush? Did you invade his private fishing spot or ruin his solitude? It's a fun photo to ponder, and I like the light on the leaves and the water.

What an adorable funny expression. He seems to be really enjoying that tall grass. This is the sort of photo every Grandmother would treasure. I like the textures in this image -- the soft hair, and the wispy grass.
