A Ladies Curve

Greetings,
While the beetle may look a little soft, I like it as it is as far as focus, the only thing I'd change in this shot would be to perhaps change the angle just a slight bit to remove what appears to be a bit of glare around the beetles head, still an excellent picture as it is now though.

Awesome leaf shot, what more can I say, you have inspired me to go out and try my own in the next few days! Just wondering, were these on the ground, or did you bring them home and set up this shot?

Excellent Photo, I like the use of Desaturation, only way I could see to improve it would be to have gone back in a day or so when the flower was totally open, awesome shot regardless!

Actually I have to disagree with the others, I like your DOF in this pic, "her" face seems to POP out at you, and after all it is the face that makes animals, like people unique. There is enough discernable to get a feeling of her size/shape and if you've seen one grey cats butt (and side), you've seen em all IMHO, excellent job!

Damn, Damn, Damn, I soooo want to give this a higher score, I LOVE the concept, but the prints are wrong, if they were chicken prints it would have gotten an 8 or 9 from me, as it is, 6, sorry!

I love this picture, it's sharpness of focus makes it seem as though I can almost feel the textures of the wall and the pipe if I touched my monitor. Probably doesn't hurt that green is one of my favorite colors either, lol! Just wondering what this was a part of? I'm guessing a plumbing fixture of some sort.....

Nice photo, have you thought of removing the powerlines in PS? Part of me thinks that they take away from the remote feel of the photo, on the other hand they also tend to make me wonder where they go, and realize that people do live around there, dunno just a thought....
Hey, one other question, as a life long NH native, I've always wondered just what exactly is a "cattle guard", I'm assuming the object at the front of the road is it, but what does it do? and how? Always wonderded about that?

Lovely photo, have you ever thought about doing pet photography? As for your sky situation, heres one idea, not the best probably but it should work, if you have another pic with a large amount of sky in it, cut the sky out, paste it into this photo as a new layer in PS then change the transparency on the original in the selected area (the white sky) so it is down to zero, set the transparency for the non sky area on the new layer to 0, then merge them, this should in effect transfer the sky from the "good" sky pic to the pic of the dog. Just my humble idea, should work, but there may be a better way...

The Pretzel Guy

Greetings,
Just thought I'd offer my comments, The vendor looks great, focus is awesome on him, what bugs me about this pic though is the out of focus ....pretzels?...in the foreground. My eye keeps getting drawn to them instead of the vendor, perhaps because they are taking up a lot of the forefront of the pic. The pole on the left really doent bother me, nor does the background neither one detracts from the subject, but those pretzels.....(oh yeah and the bottle of what I assume is mustard on the lower right, but that is minor and I'm sure could be cloned out in PS). As to how to improve this shot, perhaps you could try it from a differnet angle, or perhaps shoot it when he is in "action" either preparing or selling a pretzel.....just my humble opinion...
