Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi RJ...

Nice closeup of the center of a tulip... I have given up on trying to photograph reds like this with my 707. Maybe the 717 does a better job of this :)

Your composition here seems to be fine... I prefer the off center perspective you chose and the square framing works well with that choice.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot to offer you on this photo as far as critique is concerned. This particulary type of shot is a favorite of many and you have executed it as well as any.

Keep up the good work :)

John Setzler

is she being mugged? is this a POW? (both at sunset ;-) the photos are very nicely done, but i don't think your taking full enough advantage of the ability to tell a story versus the same idea three times. (ie: looking at big hill, climbing big hill, triumph at the top, or in a starting position, running, winning the race (all with the sunset in the background of course).

I wish the shadow of the head was complete.

I like everything about the concept, color, composition, but would like to try it with white separators between the photos as well.

Comment by DigiPique:
I love this - graphically appealing as an abstract, emotionally resonant too. Nice, spare design.

Comment by ChrisW123:
Very nice! Love the abstract of it, and the great background colors of each shot. Whoops, you cropped the middle pic a little too much (elbow). 8.

Comment by Jeileen:
Subject in the middle has their right arm cropped at the elbow - is distracting.

Very nice silhouette. I'm not sure that you need three images that are so similar, though. It does give a feeling of success!
