Interesting subject. Actually, I would like to see a bit more of them. I am not sure I like the color, though. Maybe a bit more yellow???

Comment by dahkota:
Robert, For what its worth, my opinion... The technicals in this image are good. What I think this image lacks is a point of focus. Not camera focus, but more of a 'where do my eyes go' focus. Since this is more of an abstract image, my eyes tend to go to the lights and darks. The lightest lights and the darkest darks have no texture. So I look at the edges, the changes in tonality. The edges fall across the image randomly with no order or pattern for me to follow. The strongest lines swoop me down to the bottom right - into a jumbled mass. This makes the entire image seem to be draining out of the bottom right. The strong black at the top left reinforces that. Hope what I stated makes some sense...

You've sold me bear - that's the clincher. Even if I get a 20D with no other lens, I WANT ONE!!!!! Seriously though, it nails what I think a landscape should be, colours, width, sharpness, and cool coloured row boats.

Nicely composed. I like the contrast of texture and lines. 9

Great macro and I love the coloration. This has enough, even being monochromatic, to interest the eye because of all of the different directions the bamboo is woven. I like this very much in its simplicity.

Yeah, you're right, Ben. Apologies. I withdraw the "bull@#$%".

Excellent Work! Great color tones and detail. My only suggestion would be to drop the white border. The picture is perfect in every way. 10

Nice photo. Lighting was excellent, and so was the composition. Good job on the color output also.
