Like the focus on the eyes. DOF is good. Difficult subject for lighting with the dark green background but I think you nailed it. I wish my cat would let me get that close.

And you even went back to the camera to make sure it was going to be framed properly. :-) Little did you know..........

The white shirt is blown out a little bit and the crop is a little close to Jim's feet. Focus is 'dead' on. Nice sky. Good Shot

Had a blast today! And it is a self-portrait, see the iPac in his hand that he uses as a remote.

I agree with the lighting, looks great. Did you paint the catch light in your left eye? If you want to keep the texture out of your background move further away and let the camera's DOF blur it out for you. (that's only if you don't want the texture)

Great pic!

"She Who Makes Magic With Ribbons" SPC 3

Having a minor Indian heritage I think this is awesome. Almost gives it a 'tintype' feel. Impressed with the homemade dress. A woman in Oklahoma recently got hers into the Smithsonian, she made it and used it in many Indian ceremonial dance displays.

Good work!

The pic is great, the DOF is pretty much dead on for this shot, for the challenge though I think a little softer would have worked better. The cactus itself doesn't have that softness to it. This may be attributed to the excellent contrasting colors that don't allow the softness to come through. I gave it a 5, but did not think it had enough "softness" to it. I don't think the lower right detracts from the shot.

On The Path (Saddleback Caterpillar Moth) (Yes, Its alive!)

Although the bug appears to be the main subject the rope is dominant throughout the pic and frames it well. I think I'll fave it. (and bump to a 10)

Unsure of what it is, but having it full size would have helped. It appears it's a little overexposed/blown out.

In some cases size is important. There is a tutorial under the learn tab up top. Good focus from what I can see.

You should utilize the full size available. A slower shutter speed on a tripod would have left your rope focused with no motion blur, but would have put your water soft. Good concept!
