What I like:

- Building in background is distracting.

Overall: Framing on this shot feels off.

Springtime in Istanbul

What I like:
- the colors in this picture and the archetecture are wild.

What I don't like:
- While there is a lot of lawn in this photo, the people, fountains and the buildings steal the show.

Overall:
- There is a lot going on in this photo and it's lack of focus distracts from the beauty of each individual thing.

Spring - Finally!

What I like:
- Beautiful flowers, they almost look fake the detail is shown well

What I don't like:
- the pink/ purple flower in the foreground. I would have plucked it before pressing the shutter for a more uniform foreground

Overall: lovely flowers, lovely angles the flowers make.

What I like:
- This effect goes great with the flower

What I don't like
- this effect also bothers my motion sickness :/

Overall: fun shot, but hard for me to look at secondary to my low threshold for motion sickness. This effect usually doesn't make my stomach queasy. I think the color in this one may be lending to that effect. But I'm not docking any points off because of MY weak stomach, promise :)

What I like:
- Pose of the boy
- Lovely angle with all that grass

What I don't like
- Boy's head is a bit too close to edge of the frame for my liking
- Saturation is a bit high to my eyes.

Overall: I love the boy's pose and that shadow but wish it was zoomed out just a bit to give his head more clearance.

That smile!

What I like:
- That smile: beautiful
- the posing of both the man, woman and the birds too, who am I kidding. The framing and subjects are well placed.

What I don't like:
- colors are a bit too saturated. I think this picture would have more punch with more dark tones, too.

Overall: great shot, but color is off

What I like:
- The awesome background and framing

What I don't like
- Water drops take away from the awesome swoosh of the plant, breaking the flow for me.

Overall: Love this shot save for the water droplets. I may have tried to remove most of them save for the one on the very tip as the surprise at the end of the curve (as my eyes followed the curve and it would literally be like a period- as it there were too many punctuation points before it.

What I like:
- Umm.... a lot! the color, the subject, the take on the challenge subject

What I don't like:
- bottom left corner there is a strange lens aberration/ flare (no idea what to call it) but that's all I've got!

Overall: amazing shot of a city. Can't wait to see where this was taken.

Okay: one more love: LOVE that there are no people to be seen; very dystopic and moody.

What I like:
- This photo made me chuckle when it popped up. LOVE the subject and the framing

What I don't like:
- The focus, it is too bad that the other bug (besides the fly) and the spiderweb are out of focus

Overall: Would be a stronger picture if building in background were not in frame when shooting, allowing f stop to be increased for wider DOF and more of the web/ other bug in focus. Or, based on the title of the photo, same framing but slightly wider DOF
