Shattered Dreams

Good idea; I'd like to have seen the broken mirror sharp as well as the money-or if limite DOF, maybe even the reverse. Also, I think it would have been good if all lines didn't meet near the center.

Excellent simulation of a view from space. The stars don't look very natural to me though here (not sure exactly why: that's purely subjective)

Very cool! I love the lingering lights here. Could rename it "Ghost station"!

Sacred Watch

Greetings from the Critique Club:

This is a very nice shot overall; most of the issues concern the environment you captured, not your technique.

COMPOSITION: I like the composition you chose, with the balance of the monument and this guard. However, I'm not sure whether water in the reflecting pool would make the eye want to see more over to the right as well. But as taken I like this composition. Before fixing the water, you might also want to clone out that crane!

EXPOSURE AND SHARPNESS: The exposure looks good, and it's leveled well too (except maybe the top of the white wall where he's standing might be a bit overexposed.) Sharpness is good, though hard to judge in this small version.

AESTHETICS: This photo has pretty good aesthetics overall The reflecting pool and crane are the major issues; the pool could have been completely dry, or filled, but I don't like it as it is.

Hope this helps a little. It's hard to critically critique something that doesn't need much of a critique!

A very funny capture; wish you had a good shot of just a single animal with the bird on the back. (And one facing sideways or you.)

How is this propaganda? Otherwise, good shot other than a little glare on the lower left table and knife. By the way, knives is plural for Knife.

Excellent colors and composition.

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller

It's hard to see that you are "catching" this without the title. If you could have grabbed a shot with the 22 actually in the air, and your hands waiting below, it would have been more dramatic. And while lighting is good, the brigher light might be better placed on the 22.

BTW - that's one of my favorite books from my youth.

I'm curious: How did you do this within the no-editing rules? 1/20th of a second would not be much time to manually swirl it?

Can't make an omelette without breaking the eggs

Good idea, good setup. I think this might have been a little better with more DOF. Also, you might watch your histogram for overexposure, i.e., on the mushrooms. Maybe the point would be better with fewer eggs.
