This is terrific. The colors and symmetery are appealing, and the POV is pure genius. Very abstract -- my kind of shot.

Wow, Oliver, you were on to me as soon as the starting gates flew open on this one. This means that either I'm developing a highly original style (which would be good) or that I'm becoming hopelessly predictable (not so good). I have to admit I'm running out of buildings to shoot; that hour for lunch (give or take) implies a certain radius. Anyway, thanks for your comments and support!

The color didn't really work because all the color was in the background (the building and sky). Also, since I shot in aperture priority (not sure if that was the best choice), the building is more or less in focus. I wanted to keep the nest as the focal point, but it was in the shadows. I used a channel mixer layer to level the playing field, so to speak, and work on some of the textures. Thanks for your comment!

He doesn't look happy! This is terrific. Typically I don't care much for borders, but this one really works!

This is a feast for the eyes. The soft focus is perfect. The biege areas are a little confusing at first, because they're hard to resolve, compared to the blue flowers and green foliage which are easy to identify right away.

I'm not sure the vignette was necessary; the trees provide a sort of natural vignette already. Nicely composed and very pastoral.

Sky and Clouds (April 1)

I like it. The framing/placement of the cloud is perfect, and I like the textures. I might have toyed with the color balance to brighten/whiten the cloud a little bit, but that might not have been the look you were after.

I love this. Excellent contrast and DOF. I love the geometry and the textures too. BW was the only choice here. Congrats!
