I am really sorry, please don't be offended or anything, but I really don't like this one.
I like each individual picture, but the montage just don't do this for me.
While the fish themselves are very colorful, the background kills them. It feels too monotone.
The close "crop" of each fish and the bacground covers parts of it just make a whole mess but I don't feel it adds to the picture.
I wish I could see each one of the fishes separatly, in a picture that actually enhances it's uniquness.

i like the feel of oversaturation and contrast. the depth of field and abstract linear feel are very nice

very nice. i think that the slight light on the subjects head is a saving grace. it would be nice if it stuck out a bit more, but i like the composition of the shot, the colors and i think the fence adds a lot too.

i would either clone out, or crop out the branch in the bottom right corner, too much of a distraction for me. i like the colors a lot. maybe even clone out the "thing" between the tree and the left border.

i agree with scott, the knotted wood detracts a bit from the whole of the pic. as far as any imperfections from the neg, i can't spot any, so nice job :-)

Comment by jjbates4:
the colors look great in this photo and the contrast is catchy. i would think about cropping some of the foreground, but i am a sucker for symmetry and can see how the little foot prints can add character to the overall composition.

hey wyatt

I like the individual shots a lot and i dont think the circular nature detracts, but i think it needs a secondary color. perhaps a yellow in the border may break up the monotony of the color, but i think its a bit too much blue. but a nice collage indeed.

I like to shoot old barns too. nice pic and good contrast. i will probably trim to remove the close object at right hand lower corner.

I like the use of the reddish object (is that a pumpkin?) on the right, helps give the idea of maybe an old adobe house or brick the corn is drying on. You've done a good job cropping so you don't have the entire image, just enough to show what it is...I have big problems with doing that lol.

I like the dark on light of this image, the siloutted pier supports really bring out their shapes and help you move around the image...seems a little grainy but I think this adds to the image so good job if it is. nice tones. Good job
