nice shot of the older child! great eyes! the color of the baby's outfit is a bit bright/detracting along with the background. i was confused as to what the older child was even holding originally...a doll? a baby? the half-body is a bit awkward, imo.

nice fireworks shot. i would have liked to see less cropping on the left side, and the smoke cropped out from the bottom. great colors, and nice image quality.

Celebrating a place to worship.

nice sky. wish i could see more of the church...the tower shot cuts off another part of the church, i know it's there, and the pic feels a bit off balance to me as a result.

oh! the hair makes the baby look like he/she's sporting a beard!
i like the idea for this pic. i would be interested in seeing this picture with a different crop, or taken at an angle where the viewer could see some of the mother's face.

interesting composition...with autumn off in the distance and the people practically flinging themselves towards it. very energetic. i like it.

Because it's Friday

let's hear it for that friday beer!
i feel like the picture wanted to be taken 180 degrees different from where it was...that way the tree would be behind the subject, and you could see more of the subject's face, along with whatever's attached to that hanging elbow. the picture also feels a bit dark, which some levels and curves adjustments may help with...

neat angle for the shot. like the colors and the composition (with the claws up front and the people in the top third). makes me want to be a part of the fun! now where's the keg? : )

Celebrating a New Sunrise

the landscape appears to hide the sunrise...
beautiful colors in this photo. nicely framed by the window and fence. like the tree in the foreground...it breaks through those framing elements and adds some interest.
