A study in H2O 2

The water at top is wonderful - good detail, color, and the added benefit of being interesting to look at. The lower part lets you down however, in my opinion - please realize that I'm a total amatuer. I think the girl's head is where the eye is drawn to, not to the water. And unfortunately, it looks like the image quality is suffering a bit there. It seems out of focus or something. The area to the right of her head is also distracting, as it is difficult to identify and looks sort of blobby. But the idea is fantastic as is the water at the top.

Sexy! Really nice pose and everything ;-) I even like that her elbow is slightly out of the frame.

I think this is a very good idea for an abstract. The focus on the petals and the blown spots, particularly in the lower left center (in the green) are both unfortunate in my opinion. I like the way the fan of petals takes up the entire frame. Beautiful symmetry portrayed here.

Wow, what a landscape!! Could this be Colorado? You've done a super good job of retaining the clairity in everything while still showing the details in shadow and light areas. The reflections of the clouds on the river are breathtaking - the leading line of the river, leading the eye to the left third of the image is perfect.

The subject and the light are nice. I have two critiques that I hope are helpful. If you intended it this way, please forgive me: To me, there seems to be a yellow overtone that isn't quite natural. Also I'd like to see stronger focus in the left side of the image (so that it's as strong as in the right hand side). I love the way you got the masts in the water. The water is probably my favorite part of your image. There's so much to look at there and it's very calming.

I wish so much that I could make color like this. The coloring matches the 50's feel very well. The guy in the back should move, though. Those are some serious tatoos!

I love the frame! (this is coming from a frame hater unless it's all black or white, too :-) Technically, this seems pretty much perfect. I have to try this sometime.

Nice composition. The bit of empty space in the upper right works well. There's some line, like a border, on the right side - wonder if it's just focus or result of post-processing. Would love to see one stop sharper, but the eyes and detail imediately surrounding them are perfect. I like the colors a lot. I'm really impressed by the way the bird is looking directly at the camera, head on.

One of my favorites so far. He's got a great pose, and love that his trucks are in the shot. This is simple and the fact that it's b&w plus the lines in the background make the boy stand out even better. The only small thing is that I wish the bowl or whatever the object near the center front by the pool edge weren't there. The tones are so nice - not over done at all, but just right.
