Beauty In Winter

There are a lot of artifacts in the petals - perhaps more light was needed for this shot? The shallow depth of field works well to blur the background - keeps eyes on flowers well.

Dust on the Key Board

Lighting and exposure are both good, however I'm not so sure about the chosen crop. Perhaps you could have focused purely on the keypad, especially since there is flar on both "Page Down" and "[num] Lock".

The old "flower cliché"

Comment:
I like the way the flowers appear to be floating over the background. I don't think there is enough contrast between the petals and the background though, also the flowers look a little weathered.

Splash

Cliche? Yes, it certainly is. It's quite similar to the water drop in the "how'd they do that" section. The blue is fairly speckled - perhaps you didn't quite have enough light - which gives the image a soft look.

Frost Rose

You've chosen an interesting composition and I kind of like it. Personally I might have tried to light the centre of the rose a little more, but it does have a very moody effect as it is. My biggest complaint is what looks like a blurred leaf at the top left of the rose - I'd probably erase that if printing the photo. Generally though it's a very good photo.

Great work - composition and framing are near perfect, focus is very good and the dogs are lovely. Probably the biggest distraction I have are the shadows (especially around the chair). Everything else is wonderful though.

Look here dammit!:-)

Interesting shot, although I don't feel it's "the best you can" - it's a little unconventional for a pet photo. As an artistic photo though it works very well - it certainly held my attention for a while.

Winter Sunset

The colour is great and the silohuette works well. The balance between sky and land is also good. I think it would have been better if it only featured the tress though, and not the buildings in the distance - they compete a little and I think the trees would always win. The aspect ration of your final image is well suited to the topic.

This is a pretty good portrait although my eyes are drawn to his hands rather than his face. I think it's because they are lighter. Composition is very good although the white background is perhaps a little too stark. Focus is good, colour is good. Finally, the shadows are a little harsh - perhaps a second light source would be good. Having said all that though - still a lovely portrait.

Two Classics

Very cliche and very well done! The reflection of the board in the very top drop really makes this photo for me. The border is simple and appropriate. A really good photo - the only critical comment is the reflection of the room where the drop meets the water, but it's only a minor thing.
