Old Homestead at Dusk

Beautiful sky. Did you use some sort of photoshop-based neutral density filter? That's a lot of dynamic range to capture in one exposure/raw develop.

Very pretty picture.

Very clear. Detail in the fuzz is great.

Strike!

A pretty neat image. The ghost guy is more distracting than interesting, unfortunately. Maybe a flash at some point in the exposure to paint him in a bit, and give the eye something to rest on.

Wow. Crystal clear. Nice example of nature photography.

The Fly in the Bush
by Imablessed

Comment:
The picture appears predominantly out of focus, with the ostensible subjects (either the fly, or the berries) the least in focus. If the fly was the subject, try making him a little more prominent, either by moving him closer to the center (not necessarily IN the center) or by bringing him more in focus,

Beautifully clear, I'm guessing through the aquarium glass. Nicely done.

Conflict
by jmsetzler

Comment:
Just curious... was this a piece of performance art? The picture, while admittedly not relevant, produced the conflict?

Very nice shot, btw. I rented the 75-300IS for a surf trip once, and was very, very unhappy with it. I'm thinking I got a bad one, based on what you're putting out with it.

A Snowy Night

This is a neat shot, though I can't see how it was "painted with light". I didn't mark down because of that, though. The problem with this shot is two fold. Most importantly, whatever lighting you applied (flash? flashlight?) served to do nothing but highlight the snow falling directly in front of you. It's kinda distracting. Second, the composition is a bit off. I think the trees on the left that are almost incidental in this shot could have been reframed to serve as a lovely "border" for the photo.

This is an obscenely difficult shot to pull off, what with all the reflective surfaces. And your shot does suffer from some distracting reflections. I like the plan to give the photo an industrialized feel with the brushed steel background, but the bottom of the bowl is a little distracting, too.

On the upside, you seem to have controlled the reflections off the glass of the bottle really well.

Probable winner right here. To be thematically consistent, it mighta been nice to have no light trials underneath the brush, ie, where you haven't "painted" yet. But that's a very small nit. Nice job.
