painting with light. difficult to achieve. the only part that i don't like is the bluish background trees in the upper right. anyway to selectively desaturate the blue here. but still nice. I would explore this technique more.

This one has potential but the contrast is a little strong. The clouds and landscape is so intense the contrast is not needed as much.

clean and simple. it allows the viewer to interpret the photo through their experiences as opposed to a photo that tells the whole story.

ok...another great one from you. i agree that the blue does need the sat brought down a bit but just in the upper portion of the photo. in the reflection its perfect. really the only thing i see wrong here. i love the dreamy feel and the title is perfect for the feeling you gave this awesome photo

Sutprised this isn't in your 'dreams' collection. Beautiful colors, looks like an oil painting. Even the ducks add to this shot. Awsome!

Very surreal with the dodging of the greens. Maybe tone down the blue just a bit. Beautiful shot and location, though. Wish I were there!

I really like this shot. The warm colors reflecting off the clock and building, the sky to the left, everything.

1800's Brick Road

Comment by tsheets:
Not too many old brick roads around anymore. I like the angles of the bricks, and perspective, color/saturation, etc... A little more DOF, or maybe slightly moved up to about the lower 1/3rd mark would be nice IMO (it seems that's where my eye wants to hit, and it's slightly OOF at that point). Also, since this is a road, it would be interesting to see what another composition that clearly shows it is a road would look like. Maybe some curb or something.
