Nice Picture, but the main subject doesn't seem to be the tree to me. 5

Wow what a cool tree! You did a great job of maintaining detail in the darker parts of the tree and still not significantly blowing out the bright areas in the background.

Nice to see you and Matt back! This is a lovely portrait. I'm not a portrait photographer, but to the untrained eye (namely mine) this is very well done. I like the pose, the lighting works perfectly, they both look warm and natural, and the processing doesn't look like "processing" - it fits the mood and the couple very well. The eyes in particular look very natural, very real - you did a great job not overdoing them but bringing them out just enough. I'm betting they're very delighted with the results!

Know the feeling. I can't afford to have my midlife crisis, though.

Well, he looks great for his age :o) Nice composition, I like the position of the 'model' in the frame. If it was my shot I'd have cropped the tiny git of detail on his t-shirt at the bottom of the frame out and possibly tried to get rid of the yellow sticker underneath his hand (some how) as they are a little distrcting...but then again I am very picky! ;o)

Really strong image: the bars and the tones of grey and russet work so well together. The expression says it all - in fact it could speak for itself without the title. I think the whole composition comes together really well. Good Luck!
