Sunrise on the mountain

This is a lovely subdued shot with a nice capture of the mist. The tree in front adds interest and there is a real mood to the shot.

Playing with shadows

Comment by jpochard:
This was a very creative idea and not a bad photo at all. I think it would have been more effective with the curtain pressed to get rid of the wrinkles. I would also go over and darken the shadow a bit more. This is not something I would have thought of and you came up with a good shot.

Sunburst Shadow

---Greetings from the Critique Club!---

My first impression is that I like the backlit palm leaf.

Meeting the challenge - This is most likely where your score suffered the most. While shadows are an element here, I don't think they are a strong enough element. IMO the challenge requires that the shadow be a major element of the photo or at least makes the photo better because of its presence. I don't think that happens here.

The busy background isn't helping the aesthetics of your photo either.

The composition is good. I like that the subject is of center. The eye is drawn in then out from the palm. The exposure and the angle are good too.

I think if the shadow element was more prominent this photo would have scored much better.

I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

morning fog

This is nice but would probably be even better if it were in a sepia or a duotone. The fog creates a sense of mystery and drama within the composition. Great shot.

This is once again a great waterfall image. I never get tired of seeing these types of photos. I need to try these for myself ;)

This image is fantastic. The silky smooth water are like tiny fingers holding the rocks. The foreground works well to balance the mpty areas to the left.

Moon

Comment by klstover:
I love this! The moon looks really nice and crisp and really draws me in. I also like how the background is blue, not black - it gives it a nice feel to the shot.

There is a bit of noise showing but I imagine that was due to your sharpening so that the moon details could stand out. Maybe there is a way to sharpen only the moon?

Looking at this gives me one of those "Yay for God and his beautiful creation" moments - great photo!
