Oh - nice. I can just see this gracing a book cover perfectly. I really like the tonal range here, as well as the composition and combined ideas. Lovely stuff. 10

Father and Son

This lovely idea suffers from too much extraneous background spoilers. Also, there seems to be too much bottom. 4

Blue Mood & Moon
by Mona

Comment:
Two points: 1/ A better balance is needed. If the space from the bottom to the tip of the tree matched that of the top to the moon, the composition would have felt much more connected. 2/ I don't like the title. How about 'moon & branch'? 5

Evening Blues

I'm normally not so picky, but here this excellent photo suffers too much from a faulty horizon. 6

Ferris Wheel

Comment:
You've filled the frame well. The sky and the main subject are both very appealling. Maybe if you'd have waited just a touch, you could have avoided the pure white behind the centre of the wheel. Otherwise, good stuff. 8

Before Sunrise

You've got such lovely and rich colours here. The composition works for me, too as both sets of left-right lines compliment each other well. My only quibble is with the border and with the left tree clipping the border. It's screaming out for space all around it. 7

Fishing Is For The Birds Today.

With the sky so bland, I wonder if it was wise to leave so much of it in. Especially as the very interesting details are elsewhere. 5

Unveiling Beauty

Comment:
Classic and a beautiful amount of texture outside. The border and line emphasise this perfectly. I think that you've got just the right amount of space above the head. I tried to visualise it a number of ways, but I always came back to what you've given here. Good stuff. 8

Silhouettes: Lights, Nature VS Man

Comment:
The 'top-bottom' feel of this scene is lost a bit because of the square format. 4

Nine O'Clock Shadow
by mrmorris

Comment:
The black blob on the left detracts from this very appealing shot. I understand that you wanted to show the beginning of the branch and have the sun in the middle bottom, so you may have felt a bit constrained by that. For me, the real impact here is in the details in the buds. So, I'd have cut off the extreme right 1/8, got in a bit closer and asked a friend to pull the blob out of the frame. No friends? Well, you ARE a photographer. 7
