very nice work with the backlighting... strong composition as well... the intersecting lines and contrasts make this a strong shot :) - 10 - setzler

I would love to see wha tthis shot looked like before the desaturation. This image shows a lot of harsh contrast with only the red present... - setzler

This is a nice scene, but the noise level in the sky is quite heavy... - setzler

nice work with the soft colors... a little more 'diagonal' in this composition would be strong also :) - setzler

nice strong contrast.... the water drops add a nice element but the background is just a tad 'contrasty' also... - setzler

The focus on this shot seems just a little soft.. maybe a different angle to add some depth would be good also :) - setzler

My balls

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi bjovik...

The color in this photo is definitely strong and meets the challenge in that aspect. In a closeup shot like this one, my personal preference is that there be some extra sharpness in the image. These balls seem a bit soft and out of focus and I can't really see how that helps this image any... Your sharper focus got on the rear balls rather than the one in front....
