Interesting shot from the zoo :) I wonder if this particular photo could have been taken from a lower angle instead of looking down on the animals... just a thought :) It's like when I photograph children... I like to try to get down on their level rather than trying to point the camera down... :) - jmsetzler

Old Man of the Forest

wow.. this thing is massive... I would be curious to know how old this tree is.. do you know? These things are amazing. I would love to see them sometime... I think you made a great choice of including the people in the frame on the right... they give great perspective to the size of this tree.... good work :) - jmsetzler

nice view :) The clutter in the foreground adds a lot to this one... the darker sepia toning also adds a nice effect ... - jmsetzler

KEEPER OF DREAMS

interesting effect with the water :) I would have tried to crop out the red line along the bottom of this photo... I think that a little bit of light diffusion between your flash and the subject could be an improvement also. when the flash is going to 'heat' up your image, you can do a few things to dampen it... one that works for me is to tape a piece of kleenex across the flash.. this dampens the flash and gives you the light you need for a subject shot like this one :) - jmsetzler

crumbling beauty

this is an interesting piece of art... i wonder if a tighter crop would have allowed you to remove the top portion of this image? The colorless part at the top is the only part that looks out of place... - jmsetzler

very nice composition... my only critique would be the darkness on the detail... I can definitely tell that these are old but I think a little highlighting on the details would be nice as well... good work :) = 9 - jmsetzler

I'm a little rusty

this is definitely a nice subject for the 'old' challenge... the background, however, does not contribute much to that concept. Maybe it woud have been possible to move to a better area, maybe not :) - jmsetzler

excellent work with the lighting and background preparation for this shot... a little extra depth of field to keep the entire truck in focus would have worked a little better for me :) good shot ... - jmsetzler

This Old House

this is a neat view, but I think the tree is blocking too much of your subject in this photo. I wonder if there would have been a better angle to photograph this house? - jmsetzler
