Peppers On A Lightbox

Too much fore-lighting cancels out whatever backlighting you were using. This looks like a regular studio still-life to me.

It Came From The TREES!

Hahaha.. this is very funny! Your focus on the dactyl is a little soft, and noisy in my opinion, but I don't know what I would have done to fix it. Nice shot though, great creativity.

A nice concept, but this piece falls short for a number of reasons, in my view. Your brightness and contrast are quite flat. It adds no definition and makes it look like no real time or thought was put in to the photo. The crop was a little too tight, and the sun just supplies no real "backlighting" because of its position. It seems to just wash out the one side. I'd suggest experimenting more with exposure values, and/or, if you can, aperatures an shutter speeds. Try and find one subject to focus on so that you get less general clutter in your shot, and really just try to visualize something, then go and work on making it happen. (A part that I still have major troubles with myself.) I just thought that I'd help try and give you some pointers, as comments on my stuff early on really helped me. Good luck!

Fall in favour...

This reminds me of a few Canadian music collection album covers I've seen. The grain really helps sell this, and the autumn colors are very striking. You've put together a very well-balanced piece.

This is a *great* example of backlighiting. I like that you've used the empty space to suggest a precipice that your subject is hanging over. I liked this immediately on viewing. The only thing I *don't* like, is the heavy border. I don't feel it was really necessary, and could have gotten away with a third of it's thickness and been effective.

Good backlight, and you've used the flash to nice effect here. Not sure about the cropping, but I don't feel it takes too much away. A good feel nonetheless.

Perhaps just a little over-exposed.. but good composition

Nicely done. Perhaps a litte soft on the source light, but you can clearly see it being backlit. Colors are a *tad* dull to my eye, but the focus and exposure are nice.

The Wings at Hoover Dam

I find that the sun completely overpowers this photograph, keeping your subject in too much of a silhouette and detracting from the composition.
