wow. what a beautiful view. some would say that you shouldn't have your horizon line right in the middle of the photo but it works for me here. would also have been nice to have less of the trees framing it and more of the falls, but again not a big deal to me.

Cool landscape. This may have stood out a bit stronger with a little more blue cast to the skyline. But overall this shot is about hte pristine reflection which you captured nicely.

Nice colors and detail on the leaves. The shadows play off nicely.

nice job on this one as well. I really like the colors in the sky. the two trees really add some demension (sp?) to the horizon line. seems like it would look very nice on a big print. nice job.

Cool macro shot. Great colors overall and nice detail in the flower head. Maybe a bit more saturation on the bug to make him look even more alienlike than he already does.

From thumbnail this didnt look good at all. I thought I was going to open it up and see just a blurry mess. But I was surprised to see the shot that I did. I like the shadow power lines alongside the actual visible lines going to the door. The ground is a bit too dark - maybe just the time of day you hit it. Overall interesting shadow work.

I like this one. I would like to see a little more room on the leftas it seems the tip of the flower is cut off, or cut it off more. the colors really stand out, which I like alot. there me a tad too much water on them but the water really helps bring some life to it.

I prefer this one to your original entry. I think the crop works well to bring the picture together. The movement of his hand and the movement of the flame are a good compliment. I dont think this shot would be as strong without the flame as it brings together the whole process of the blacksmith. The color tones on the blacksmith have a good rustic feel. I like this shot alot.

It's kind of hard to tell what exactly is going on with the flower here, but at the same time it makes you look deeper into it. I love the tones, they really do make it look like steel. The waterdrops contrast with the hard form of a "steel" flower. I would like to see just a tiny bit more detail though, but it is an interesting, attractive photo. Good work!

This is a wonderful picture in that when you glance at the thumbnail you get the feeling that it will be a sharp as a tack shot but when you open the file it's got the impressionist feel as well as the sharpness, but not to sharp in the grass on the left.

The framing and composition on this is very nice with the intersection of the branches happening in the center but not quite dead center. The petals from the flowers make it look like the tree is still budding and adds a very surreal feel to the whole shot.

The refelcting branch or leaves in the upper off center right is a bit distracting though. It keeps wanting me to look up there but I would rather focus on the intersecting branches and petals.

The grassy bank in the upper left ands the touch of reality that works very well with this shot, it's clear but still has a soft feel to it so it's not fighting with the water reflection for attention. It draws you in to follow the branches and back out the lower right.

Overall, very nice, if I were to vote on this it would get an 8 from me, 9 or 10 if the dark branch was cloned out. :)
