Birds and trees
by neenee1999

Comment:
Being able to see more of the birds would have made this even more effective, I think, though I understand the difficulty in doing that. I like the green tree in the lower left, for some reason. Adds stability to the shot, I thinkl

The shadows add a nice effect. Good composition.

Monster at Red Fish Lake

Comment:
The color contrast between the fish and mountains is nice. however, it lacks depth, and the focus on the fish could be a little stronger I think. that would make the softness of the background look more deliberate and effective.

I like the composition, but in the desaturation, the lipstick looks rather flat and one dimensional, I think.

"Salt and Pepper" Shakers!

Comment:
Good color contrast. I think a lower, closer perspective would work with shot, so that you didn't have quite so much background showing.

Chips and Dip: A Square Meal?
by GeneralE

Comment:
I like how you have "framed" the shot with the tile. It is a good idea, but colorwise is kinda bland to me. Maybe if you had some of those blue chips, or had the dip in different color bowl, it would have a little more spark to it, for me.

Paper-Scissors-Stone

Comment:
I started to do a shot very similar to this, but was too lazy to go outside and get a rock. hahah
Photographically, I think your shot comes up a little short because it is so "flat." A lower perspective and filling the frame more with the rock and scissors would have really helped, I think. Wrinkling the paper adds interest and texture to it, but it is composed in such a way to look "static." I find my eyes pulled to the outside black border, away from the subject.
This shot has a lot of potential, I think. Perhaps composing it so that the scissors are closer to the rock, the paper provides the entire background, and the whole thing is more vertical than horizontal would ahve really made it pop. Of course, it is just my opinion, so ymmv. Good luck.

PAIR . Deliverance

Comment:
I know I am probably missing something here, but I honestly don't get it. Photographically speaking, the different bands of color are interesting, and the focus is good, but overall it is kinda flat. Maybe more context would help (at least for me).

salt and pepper
by slonko

Comment:
The light on the salt shaker is such that it looks almost as much like pepper as the pepper does. A couple of suggestions -- get closer to your subject and lower your perspective. That would help to fill the frame more and add to the interest of the shot.

Duck & Water...
by MikeO

Comment:
A lot of details seems to be lost in the duck -- its eye is very noticeable, almost to the point of being distracting. Did you use a polarizer? I think, if not, it might help cut down on the glare of the water, adn give it a little more color "tone"
