fish anyone?

I can relate to this image. I enjoy an occasional trip to the coast of eastern North Carolina for some solitude and fishing. The early morning breeze and the salt air, coupled with the relentless squawking of seagulls doesn't sound as peaceful as it really is. Excellent work :)

Lovely lighthouse shot.... The simplicity of the silhouette against the early morning / late evening sky feels peaceful.

Perspective is everything. Including the people in this photograph create that perspective that would otherwise be gone. The placement of the sun in this image creates a great composition, along with the diagonal... great shot :)

This is just simply peaceful to look at. I can almost imagine myself sitting on a dock on the lake and being witness to something like this. It feels 'silent'. The color of the light also feels very warm. I might even have my fishing pole with me when I see this. I like this composition with the sun behind the baloon. That contributes nicely to the silhouette. This is a great example of being ready to go and in the right place at the right time.

Compositionally, I think you have a couple options here that could create an even stronger image. This one feels somewhat 'static' because the horizon is splitting near the center of the frame, and the balloons with their reflections are creating a centered vertical, but slightly off balance. I think a simple tighter crop here would work nicely. Make it into a tall narrow compostion just large enough to encompass the balloons with their reflections....

Excellent work :)

Beautiful shot :) The silhouettes are perfect and it does appear that the two birds are 'communicating' in this image. The timing of this shot is perfect...

This is a great urban/industrial mood... very lending to a strong black and white image... excellent composition.

Very nice image... I love the light interaction in the entire scene. I'm not sure how much impact the door frame on the sides is adding though... excellent work :)

a Room with a view

Excellent work... I like a photo that generates some 'tension' and this one does that nicely by making me wonder what is visible outside the window. The darkness of the image lead me to believe that whatever is being viewed is not good or 'evil' in some way... great shot :) = 10
