Interesting image with lots of potential. Unfortunately its a little washed out and overexposed especially in the sky. Levels and curves correction in post processing would definitely help. With the levels corrected, the colors would appear richer and more vibrant.

Compositionally there isn't really anything for my eye to rest on. That being said I do see some nice wedge shapes in this image which could be used to anchor the image if you were to shoot from a different angle.

strange dodging on the tree. The upper branches are silhouettes while the large branches have detail. I'd consider bracketing exposure and letting HDR software help with filling in the detail.

Fantastic capture. Beautiful bokeh in the background. Nice focus and sharpness on the water drop. Highlights are bright but not overly so. This is a shot I wish I had taken.

Excellent image. Nice detail throughout. Sharp without being overly so. I like the subtle tones in the beak. Great colors. I wonder (just out of curiousity) what this would look like in black and white.

oversharpened in my opinion. The deer's hair looks bristly and almost "crusty" for lack of a better term.

The eyes of the deer are definitely engaged with the camera however and because of this there is a strong connection to the viewer. Excellent DOF and good focus on the eyes.

The parachuter seems to be lacking detail. Not sure if this was deliberate or not but I do find myself wanting to see more of him (her?)

Not really a fan of the border. I think that borders need to be very simple as they tend to draw your eye away from the image. There purpose, in my opinion is to help "contain" the image.

That aside, incredible capture and I am in awe of the time and effort it probably took to get this image.

interesting pose and I like the subtle lines that draw you towards her face. Great capture of the texture in the sand.

Alzheimer's

I don't really agree with the choice of title. The disease is hard to show in a photograph since its a mental disease.

What I see in this photograph is simply an elderly couple. That in itself is enough of a story and makes me want to know more about them. I like the use of the door to frame them and the bit of the house in the frame gives us an idea of the character of the house too. It makes me believe that this is the house that they've lived in most of their lives.

Simple and effective. You may want to have them pose so you can show just their hands however this works fairly well the way it is. Nice lighting and good handling of exposure.
