Enjoying Spring

What I like:
- Ah, a beautiful dog on a beautiful lawn.
- Background and DOF are used wonderfully

What I don't like
- Lighting on the dogs face. I would have tried to use a reflector to bounce some light onto the face and eliminate some of those shadows.

Overall: Nice expression. Great snapshot of a beautiful Spring day.

Grass is the fur of the earth

What I like:
- Beautiful light
- Reminds me of the painting Christina's World

What I don't like
- It's a bit posy for me. I, at least, don't read books at that angle looking into the sun. But, alas, the light is so pretty you are forgiven in my book (but I still kinda wish it wasn't quite so posy.)

Overall: I want to adore this photo but the pose is a bit too contrived.

Vegetarian Lawn Mower

What I like:
- The framing on this is awesome!

What I don't like:
- Contrast is way too high; saturation is too high and detail of the yellow flowers of the cover crop are lost and detail is blown out on the cow's face as well.

Overall: Great shot, but I'd edit it differently; tone down to allow more details to emerge.

Springtime on the lawn

What I like:
- The colors are beautiful

What I don't like:
- The tree is only half shown, it's right side missing in the frame.

Overall: I think this shot would look more complete if the whole tree was included.

Incoming!

What I like:
- Wow that picture is crisp! What a snapshot in time.
- Nice, non-distracting background

What I don't like
- The dog looks a bit scared of the stick secondary to the angle of their head (lots of white showing on left eye)
- Looks a bit like he's cowering and about to be hit by the stick rather than fetching it.

Overall: great shot but I feel really sorry for the dog. Not sure if this was intent or not. If so: it's done very well.

A place to sleep

What I like:
- Your camera/ editing did a great job capturing details of the birds

What I don't like:
- DOF is too shallow. In my opinion the background is fairly uniform so I would have stopped up the f/stops. That said, I've no idea how quickly the ducks were moving, so this may not have been possible but they look pretty settled in this shot.
- the poses of the ducks are too bad, as they are both looking away from the camera

Overall: Beautiful detail of the ducks but wish they were looking at the camera.

What I like
- The contrast between the dying leaf and the growing green grass

What I don't like:
- The focus is way way too soft for my liking; depth of field a bit too shallow, too
- the brown object in the background.

Overall: Neat idea, but so little is in focus it makes the whole shot seem out of focus.

What I like:
- the architecture and contrasting styles of the buildings

what I don't like
- colors too saturated

overall- wish it was framed as a landscape instead of a portrait. Swapping to landscape would allow for darkening of the overall picture to bring back detail to the grass and to the sky (which is a bit light to my eyes).

working farm yard
by jgirl57

Comment:
What I like:
- that the picture is black and white and the tractor/ other farm equip as the subject.

What I don't like: I feel like this shot could have been edited a bit different to make it pop. I'd have tried a red filter (either on the lens or in post) to really have the sky and clouds pop. I'm assuming the tractor is green so the tractor would become a bit darker as well making the wheels and writing pop more. Finally the focus is a bit soft

Overall: I love the idea of this shot, but would have edited it differently and perhaps tried for a different angle with B/W editing in mind (foreground is a bit dark.)

What I like:
- The girls' expressions and the angles they create
- Good use of black and white

What I don't like
- Busy background

Overall: wish the camera angle or DoF had been adjusted to make background less distracting.
