This is a nice pet portrait. You've captured him in great focus, and I like the diffused lighting - though I think in PP it would be great to up the saturation a bit. He has an alert expression - very cute!

Great leading line. This has a great deal of potential. I imagine with some warming and highlighting this is quite superb.

DAY 4. minimal edit. bush scene .

There are some interesting lines, especially in the middle of the photo. My immediate thought is that this might look fabulous with vignetting on the sides to really pop the reflection. Enjoy seeing the Australian bush scenes - we have nothing quite like it here, especially not those rocking kangaroos from the previous photo!

DAY 4. minimal edit. fence post .

I find this the stronger of your two fence images - I think there's less going on, so the viewer is able to "latch on" to the subject better. With some shadow/highlights to bring out the post, this should be lovely!

Day 3: Waiting
by Shmee

Comment:
This is lovely. Really emotive - there's a sense of fear that someone important may not show up - and the viewer feels empathy for the subject. I prefer the photo you chose over your outtakes. I like the heavy blue of the curtains - think it adds to the emotions being played out here.

Window cat

Wow, this is pretty spooky looking! Looks like he's half-ghost, half-cat :-) I think I might like to see this converted to b&w, or else the books behind Thomas cloned out so the only things in color are his remarkable eyes. Thomas is adorable, BTW. I LOVE kitties.

Day 3 - Swans
by Bruce_the_Robert

Comment:
The interaction between the swans is great- there is a sense of intimacy here that draws the viewer in. On shots with sun on white, you might want to consider underexposing by one or two stops if you don't have an external light meter - it's a lot easier to brighten some areas if needed than draw detail out of blown highlights. Will be interested to see your post on this.

Day 3

Clean that sensor, girl :-) Great composition with sunburst - you did a good job of nearly totally avoiding flare - you must have underexposed? Not surprised about the tiny aperture. This photo definitely works very well as total package and needs very little editing.

DAY 3. minimal edit. fence .

I like the composition with the fence post here, and the colors definitely pop in the sky and green fern behind. I agree with some other commenters that more detail in the fence would be interesting. There's a lot going on in this shot - I think that highlighting the fence would also help provide a strong focal point.

DAY 3. minimal edit. kangaroos .

I can't believe you have wild kangaroos near where you live! How cool is that??? They are so cute with their little ears sticking up! This will be an interesting shot post edit.
