Wow, excellent shot, very good DOF, color saturation and detail, perhaps you should consider offering this up on a stock site? I especially like the detail around his eye.

Orange Delight

Greetings fellow Sony'er,
Nice shot, a little overexposed, but the color saturation and detail found in the petals o the flower is awesome, the two most annoying parts of the overexposure to me are the adjacent leaves on the bottom left and top right which seem to be almost white, perhaps someone on here could offer you a way to fix this in PS, i think it can be done, I'm just nowhere near good enough to know how to do it....Welcome to DPC and hope you enjoy your time here!

P.S. Where the heck are ya in Maine, for DPC we're almost neighbors!

Wow, great concept behind this shot, I really do like the idea of the mist rising off of the lake, however with the brightness of the glare from the sky, it along with the colors of the boat seem to, at least to me, get washed out a bit....perhaps if you desaturated everything but the boat, and enhanced the contrast a bit, the colors and the mist would both pop out a bit more....just an idea and MHO, still a wonderfull concept!

Church

Greetings,
Great shot, I love the sky in this and the detail in the church, i.e the boards, etc. The only thing I'd change (and this is a minor flaw IMHO) would be that the church appears to be just a bit crooked leaning to the right a bit, otherwise its a spectacular shot!

Great shot, perhaps a slight bit tilted to the right, but still awesome with wonderfull color tones and exposure, is this perhaps the start of a series of fire station shots???

Great shot, excellent pose, I would like to see this not desaturated though, i think with all the empty space around her, it would be much more impactfull, or maybe just leave her full color and desaturate the background.....

Greetings,
Excellent detail on the head/face, looks like you could even count the hairs. Only distraction is the 2nd OOF deer in the background, I'm betting that you could clone it right out of there fairly easily in PS though, especially with the background being soft as it is. Great shot!

Wow, nice macro of the berries, I see you noted that the background may be too busy, have you considered desaturating the background, but leaving the leaf and berrys full color, I think that would give this image some serious POP!

Awesome photo, the warmth of the colors in the setting sun contrasting with the dark shadows is/are truly awesome, wonderful tones and saturation as well.
