Really interesting shapes made by the leaves here, the background has a few things 'floating' around that could do with being 'removed'. I think the green against an all black B/G would work well. I might possibly like to have seen a little more of the plant in focus too :o) (MHO)

wonderful detail in the web and I like the slightly off centre position of the spider in the frame :o)

I love the use of the 'reeds' in the water, they help to add another interest/aspect to the beautiful colours in the sky and reflections :o)

Comment by talj:
Really like the graininess and B&W in this image. The modern B/G buildings against the industrial site and smoke works well :o)

Barn in Storm

Comment by talj:
Certainly has a stormy feel to it, I like the clouds on the hills and the white of the barn against the green grass works well :o)

I like the bands of light in the field and the composition is good but the image overall feels a little soft (or is it my eyes?!) :o)

Beautiful colours in the bird and you have captured some great detail considering this is 'in flight' well done :o)

I like the framing & composition (if that isnt the same thing :) ) and her expression is very serene. I'd like to see a shot with the model looking towards the camera too, making a connection with the viewer.

I do think the shadows on the left of the picture are too harsh, a softbox to lighten up that side of her face a little would have balanced it more.

I don't hate the background, but I don't feel it adds anything to the shot, I would have preferred a white or black background. In fact, come to think of it, this would look good in mono, I must take a look at it at home when I can check it out in B & W.

Hope I don't seem too picky, I do like the shot and what you've captured a lot.

(edited to add b & w version)

This is just a wonderful macro image, and I really love it.....
It is soft and delicate, but also has a strong appeal to it as well..... Really fantastic focus, sharp and to the point.
