Fishing in Ionion Sea

I really like how the sea and the sky merge in a manner that makes it nearly impossible to separate the two. Some small bits of the boat are overexposed, but this is a minor issue. Good choice with the BW.

Hm, a second egret shot. Nice job keeping everything properly exposed. Your details are pretty sharp throughout. Good choice for the pose. Some of the sticks in the background distract a little, but getting a perfect background for a flying bird shot is a crapshoot.

I'm not a big fan of your vignette, as it makes it seem as though the frog and bamboo frond are floating in space. The detail and colors on your frog are great; however the pose is a bit cliche. Kudos for including a frog I hadn't seen on DPC yet, though.

It's interesting how the lower flower appears to be a reflection due to its shaded hue, but, upon closer inspection, is in fact a separate flower below the top one. Interesting flowers and a non-distracting background make for a nice photo, but I am not altogether a fan of the border. It's tone is too similar to that of the flowers.

Lol. The stare from this wee one is great, and I enjoy the vignette. I'm not usually a fan of young child portraits, but I enjoy the expression here.

The texture of the stump is interesting. I like how I can see the specific marks from the chainsaw, and the burned top. Having said that, I'm not too clear on why you cut the stump up as you did. I would prefer otherwise, myself. The black on the foreground is more rich, but I don't think that's a reason to cut off the less rich black in the background.

Black Pearl

Neat pool you've captured here. Your choice of shutter length is great, capturing the flowing nature of the water but not over-exposing things. I'd like the "pearl" to not be cut off on the left, and in the top left, I wish that there wasn't that bit of sky showing through the trees. I still really like the BW conversion on this though. Great capture.

The rock formation in your shot would benefit from a more close-up treatment I think. It would magnify the size as well as all the crenulations and variety of hue.

Good detail in the center, but either a more concerted effort to isolate the center from the rest of the photo as a focal point or a deeper DoF would have benefited things. Nice job capturing the drops, and the refracted image in the raindrop has some very cool color variation.

Nice portrait. BW conversion is excellent, and I like the candid nature of the shot.
