kick butt photo. love the scale of that person in the midst of all that ocean and spray. like the gray tone colors...feels like an oil painting when i look at it. really like this one. good luck!

pretty effects of light in the water. cute child. strategic placement of the rubber duckie. would like to see this image with some light bounced from the other direction to add some depth and knock down that distracting shadow...plus a little bit of cropping on the right. adorable expression!

fun photo. like the composition. i don't know if this was intentional but the background looks like it was hit with a blur/softglow effect in certain areas, and the blur effect is a bit distracting to my eye.

'Celebrate the love of your life'

great sentiment. interesting how the reflections of the travelers fade against the reflection of the poster. i would have enjoyed seeing a tighter shot of the two reflections...the mundane travelers and the colorful lovers. they get lost in the expanse of wall and floor, in my eye.

oh my gosh, such a great photo! LOVE the composition. if anything, the sky reflection in the pond may be a bit light/bright, making it difficult for my eye to really focus on these adorable birds. such a charming photo!

i really like the pride and delight you see in the cadets' faces. the cropping choice works well for the image you selected. i wish that those boys would have looked as happy as those charming girls...

like how that foremost boat is at the diagnal in this pic. pleasing composition. i wonder how this would look as a b&w?

i don't know if you are using a blur effect or if the model is a bit out of focus, but the blur detracts from the photo just a bit, in my eye. the lighting is nice on her, and i love the light you captured in her eyes. charming smile, too. i also notice that as i look at this image, i'm self-cropping it to be a tighter shot of the model (less on top & rt side). a nice soft image.

cute pic. nicely framed. like the choice of facing away, and both standing (instead of walking).
