beautiful work... this has some emotional appeal as well... the contrast and general tonal range of this image is perfect... black sand.... that really sets off the dead crab.... hawaii maybe?... great work... = 10

Wildflower

Phenomenal image... this flower is just beautiful in black and white... the lighting on the blossom and the shadows created by it create the perfect amount of contrast, and create a nice resting place for my eye in this image... The depth of field is shallow enough to make this flower stand out nicely against the background as well.... great work :) = 10

fairly strong black and white... I think this image could be a bit larger to highlight the detail a little more... i'm also wondering what a vertical compositon on this would look like that showed more of the statue... = 6

feels a little cramped in the narrow composition... good strong shapes for a duotone image.... nice high key also... = 6

RJ,

Excellent silhouette :) This image reminds me of those 'inspirational' posters I see around with a title like "Success" with some inspirational proverb to go along with it... nice work :)

Green (and brown horses)

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Jajone...

The color in your photo is excellent... It definitely meets the challenge with no problems...

This shot is also a nice simple landscape... the two horses really add a nice element to the otherwise boring scene. Without the horses, there would not be much to see other than simple color.

As I look at this photo, I see a smaller composition that I feel would be very strong as well... The horse in the lower left corner... I believe that focusing on that and filling the entire frame with it woudl make a really great shot as well... That would also obviously change the entire theme of what you were shooting here, but I just wanted to possibly point out an opportunity for you...

Excellent shot and keep up the good work :)
