Not That Kind Of Girl

The expression captured here is priceless! Love how the little girl has a pouting 'don't bother' me expression and her hand is batting aware her admirerer. Only critique is that the composition can easily be cropped closer to the subject for our eyes to remain on the main subjects/action happening. There is a little too much background or empty space on the left hand side that adds nothing to the overall composition.

A Photo Opportunity

Love this! Photo opportunity indeed. A colorful line of men dressed in purple and red robes adds vibrant color to the shot that attracts our attention. But what really makes this an interesting shot is that one man pauses from the spiritualistic seeking crowd to take a picture of the curious wildlife that has strolled on scene. The deer is an unexpected and unusual visitor. The concentration on the man/monk's face as he composes the shot on his point and shoot camera is great! The photographers eye captures the deer while the photographers eye captures the unusual photographer capturing his subject on 'film'. Great eye!

Love the colors and detail in this wildlife shot. Background is a nice simple blueish white that does not distract attention away from this bird on watch. Composition is well framed with attention focused right on the pelican on his perch and nothing else in the composition to distract attention away from the main focus.

Louvre

Love the B&W in this photo for it helps attract the eye to focus on the shapes and textures of the scenery - not to mention it adds to the mood of quiet contemplative day. I like how the pathway is included into the composition for it is the visual path that draws the eye right to the pyramid. No only that the diamond shapes of that pathway compliment and mimic the shapes found in the glass pyramid of the Louvre. The buildings both to the right and left of the main subject help to frame it - the old world architecture juxtapositioned next to the new adds visual interest.

What a great capture of life in the wild! The composition is tightly focused on the wildbeast coated in wet mud drying in the heat of the sun - talk about a mud pack:-) This beauty of a beast is cooling himself/herself off as best as it can. The splash of green grass in the background really makes the subject stand out from it's background.

Bicycle at the Market

I like the dark 'earthy' colors found in this photo. The red really stands out as a burst of color that helps to draw the eye in. For some reason the dingy/grungy look is appealing for even though we don't see life bustling in the photo with a person(s) present, we know that there is/has been activity simply because of the number of bags attached to the bicycle and the shoes tucked away in the corner. The bicyle lays against the wall ready and waiting to transport the owner to it's next destination.

I really like the way how you composed this shot. The natural arch of the building really acts as a wonderful frame to Chihuly's glass tower. Like another individual said the shadow on the bottom right is a bit distracting - a closer crop taking out most of the concrete groundplane would remove that distraction and strengthen the composition by keeping focus primarily on the arch to act as a frame. You beautifully captured the wonderful vibrant colors of the red and yellows of the sculpture as they appear in the garden. My only nit is that those trees in the background distract away from the main attraction - the yellow and red tower. But one can't do much about that for Fairchild Gardens as that is part of the permanent part of the grounds.

Black and white tones are spot on and not washed out. Strong dominent shapes are prominent throughout the composition.

Love the curves and shapes seen in this composition. The curves of the bridge allow the eye to pleasently coast over this bridge as we explore the photo. Our eye also travels up to the top most portions of the bridge. There we see the Retangular support struct/'towers' that contain black outlined diamond shapes amounst the backdrop of the night sky. Tones and hues are lovely and appealing. Great capture.

The one at the back always gets eaten first

I like how you play with perspective here by presenting the triangular shaped chocolate in a straight line that our eye has to follow till we reach the end in the background. This helps to keep a viewer's attention. Now I do have some critiques on the composition for there are some elements that could improve. First, the white background comes off as too stark and sterile to bring out the rich tones and colors of the chocolate. It color of the chocolate looks a little too washed out. Black (or a dark hue) maybe the better choice to bring out richer colors in the chocolate to entice our eyes to want to take a bite as well. Even the introduction of a background that has visible texture that is complementary to the imagery you want to convey could be a nice addition- i.e. a velvet cloth conjures the ideas of "soft" and "smooth" in the viewers. Those ideas helps establish a connection with the main image -the chocolate. The viewer then makes the connection of "tasting" the chocolate as smooth and soft.
