Bonnie and Clyde

Lighting is good and costuming is good. However the action of Bonnie and Clyde robbing the safe is very staged. Just guessing that this might have been a paid client photo shoot thus the reason the two subject are looking at the camera rather than concentrating on the 'heist'. Perhaps an opportunity to take some additional shots where Bonnie would be concentrating on cracking the safe while instead of having his hand on the safe, Clyde is on hyper-guard with a hand going for something in his breastpocket of his jacket (going for the gun...also assuming this is a hotel or public area that guns even prop ones would be not allowed). I do have one other suggestion on how to improve the visual impact of the shot as it stands now and that rests with the crop to showcase the action. There is too much negative space around the main subjects that is adding nothing to the scene except robbing it of full visual impact. Bring your audience closer to the action and the subjects of the shot so that we can see more details and thus get drawn in more to the composition. I suggest cropping out the plant & dark space to the left of Clyde and cropping out the door & brick wall to the right of Bonnie. You would then have a tightly framed vertical composition that would then allow your audience to become an active participant in the story presented and as the saying goes 'get a piece of the action' .

Oh excellent eye to spot the parallel actions of these two men! Great juxtaposition where the man in the advertisment on the left is putting his hand up to his face in a thinking pose and off the to right you have the driver of the trolley doing essentially the same action. I also find it interesting that both men are framed or have numbers. The advertisement man has Channel No. 5 and the trolley driver has 19 Roserio and 1813. My only observation/critique is that I wish that the driver's face was less obscured. Perhaps taking just one step to the right (if it was safe of course) would have gotten the driver's face more clearly in the composition.

Great B&W tones in this minimalist photo that highlights the shapes and lines of broken tree resting in the water. Clever use of title that mimics shape and lines of your main subject.

The stunning and beautiful rainbow is what really makes this a spectacular capture. It acts as a dome of light and color that encloses those homesteads nestled at the foot of the mountains in a protective barrier that keeps the snow and chill away (as seen on the mountains beyond). Fabulous find - a hidden gem:-)

The light on the trees really draws the eye in. It makes them beautiful, mysterious, and creepy all at the same time. I didn't notice the person til later - they are very much swallowed by the towering trees. I'm guessing that is the point of the art piece. If correct it accomplishes that. However I'm wondering if a slight closer crop would improve the visual impact of the piece even more. I suggest that you crop to where the dirt trail takes that right turn and have that in the bottom left corner of your composition. You would still have those fabulous towering trees but you would now have the dirt trail act as a leading line that leads the eye to that person tracking through the woods.

Great sepia tones that compliments the feel of a past era. It also heightens the 'bleakness' of prison life in this small & cramped cell. The composition also tells a story - whomever once sat in this cell has made a break for freedom as seen by the removed vent and the hole in the wall.

That zebra looks like it is having a ball rolling in the dirt! This is a very serendipitous moment to capture and I'm sure it was cool to see live. Fabulous capture showing your audience a little slice of life in the savanna. Very much a National Geographic type shot.

Now that looks like fun both to do and watch! Nice light coming through the forest trees - I like how it illuminates the tightrope walker. This is such a unique and unusual shot that you should show it off to it's fullest. I think if you crop closer to make your main subject fill the frame a bit more it would have greater visual impact. If you crop out about 1/3 off the right and about 1/6 off the top & bottom you would get a tighter composition where the tightrope walker fills more of the composition showing off the action that is happening here.

Nice clean light on this pet portrait that shows off great details from the fur to the eyes to the muzzle. Not so much a critique but a suggestion/observation - I wonder if it would be even better cropped closer? Maybe a square crop to just have the pup's head fill the frame.

Absolutely love the pose and the details I can see on the tail feathers. I really have an up close view of this bird leaving the 'stage'. B&W tones are great too and the best choice to show off the lines, form and textural detail. That said I do have a critique/suggestion that I think would help boost the visual appeal. I don't know how close or if you had to crop a huge portion away to get the bird in the frame, but there is a large amount of noise visible in the background. If this is heavily cropped it may be difficult to get rid of the noise which is a shame because the noise/image grain in this composition does little to compliment the scene. If it is not heavily cropped a good Denoise program could give cleaner results.
