Bloomin'

This is very unique and lovely subject. As is true for many flowers there is a kind of mathematical elegance to the organization of the elements, but it's a highly unusual one. I love the pale, soft treatment given the subject and the generally soft contrast, but I kind of wish I could see a little more of the lovely structure of the flower.

Doll House

It's a completely lovely house on a copletely lovely lot, photographed on a completely lovely day. It makes me want to live there. Yet, as a photograph it feels just a bit cluttered and a bit static to me. Maybe it is all the barren trees or the straight-on view.

Exclusive Spy Photo! Cheddar Cow Captured!

I believe you mean "Cheddar Cow Spotted." It's a nice enough photo except that the gray weeds look really out of place. Under advanced editing, I believe one might be able to clone out the worst of them. Same for the white spot on the cow's neck. Cows and minimalism seem to go well together, and this is one more good example.

Dog of the Wet Variety

Hate to butt in, but I wonder if I would get a shaggy dog story if I asked why we are not treated to the more congenial end of the creature?

How did you get that gull to pose for you?
It's rare to find a photo that so craftily juxtaposes the ugliness of moldering industrial structures and the beauty of the natural process that are reducing them to ruin. Very nice job.

Turning it upside-down created quite a strong and unexpected effect.
