Sweet! Great reflection! Nicely balanced composition. Love how the reflection of the momma holds the attention in the center of the photo, as does the rapt attention of the little ones.

Silence as I stroll.

Nice shot, clearly illustrating silence. Interesting. The trunk of the main tree draws the attention of the viewer. The great detail of the upper portion of the foreground tree draws the eye upward, while the path fights to take the viewer further forward and to the right. The lightness of the centered trees in the distance, with the apparently clear sky behind, also fight the flow of the photograph.

How clever! Clearly well-thought out, and executed. Like the lighting, the flow of the compostion, and the use of the reflective surface.

Nice photo of a demolition (windstorm?) Somehow it does not bring me into "beginnings" so much as "ending" Great composition and balance int he photo.

Defiant Beginning

Nice focus, nice lighting, nice balance in the composition. This is to me, a "good" photo, but it does not draw a 'gasp' or "OOoooo".

First Date

Interesting shot. Guess this is a first date. I do not get how the gesture supports the theme? Nice balance in the foreground elements, but the tilted horizon detracts.

Interseting shot, beautiful mountain. The (power?) lines and clusters of buildings pull my eye away from the focal point, which I assume was meant to be the haze in the valley ..
