Very nice composition with this shot. I like how the building is a little off center. I think it adds to the picture b/c of the natural lean in this old building. What effects did you use to get that nice soft color/feel to the picture.

I like the glow effect on this. Looks a bit over-manipulated, though.

I love fisheye lens, I have a 10.5mm Nikon Fisheye myself. You used it well in this shot. Great color, but maybe a little too bright on the sand portion of the picture. It would have been nice to see some additional texture in the sand. Well done though.

Oh this is sooooo pretty! Pink and green work so well together and their intensity in this shot is great! I love the simplicity of it. Great closeup. The big water splashes on the lily pad are lovely.

Sweeping Beauty

Comment by rasdub:
Maybe you should have named this blue beauty. That blue is amazing. Great job using the natural light. I like the aperature setting that you chose, as it draws attention to the blue and yellow part of the flower nicely, while also creating a nice background with the soft out of focus blue region of the picture. Well done!

A Nice Place to Rest

Great framing and great lighting, although it could be a little more diffuse. The shot is full of places for the eye to wander to yet it is not too cluttered. Great!

I love our use of water in your photos. It's outstanding and really sets apart some of your images from the normal blase-type shots.

A Colorful Dish

Comment by Tranquil:
Great clarity and wonderful composition. I think that the color of the shadows is slightly distracting but this could easily be remedies with some PS work. I can almost smell the spice... mmmmm... i'm hungry now!

After the Rain

Wow! This one's a winner. I agree with setting this up as a print. I would perhaps get rid of some of the brownish blemishes but otherwise this is a crackling and outstanding shot that just has that "Oomph!" that I love!
