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.

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

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.

Lawn Mowing
Half Way There
by Zeus

Comment:
What I like:
- the contrast between the lower field and the upper one

What I don't like:
- The trees in the midground break up the two fields and make the picture a bit busy. I also am not sure if the object between the two trees on the ground is a log or a machine?

Overall: I'm basing my comments in part on the title and the fact that I like the contrast between the lower and upper field. I think the trees are distracting from this difference. If not for the title, I may not have even noticed that the lower field was mowed.

What I like:
- it reminds me of "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte"
- Love love love the color and the angles

What I don't like:
- not sure what was done, but it looks a bit too much like a painting rather than a photograph to me (but, my husband, looking over my shoulder, loves this effect so meh.)

Overall: Love it! Great shot, great capture of the theme.

Put It On

Comment:
What I like:
- The golfer's pose

What I don't like
- the picture is a bit pedestrian

Overall: changing camera angels may have made for a more interesting shot
