I love my pumpkin

The tight crop and shallow depth of field made me think this was weird bread or cheese. I don't think I would have known this was a pumpkin without the title (and my family used to grow pumpkins!). Otherwise, the colors are very nice and the bokeh add a lovely soft touch.

He Protects Me

I like this image but I see some points that can be improved. It looks to me like the focus is more on his near arm than his face. The background is also a few stops too hot--it's bleeding onto the boy, blowing out the highlights on his shirt and arms and creating a strange glow around his head. The boys pose looks relaxed, but his expression looks more sad or pained than loving or protecting. I also might put a reflector or bounce card camera right to give a nice catchlight in his eyes and provide a bit of directional light on his face.

This is underexposed. The "white" dog is actually middle to light gray. Otherwise, it's a nice capture of the moment.

Covered bridge to...nowhere.

Great subject and nice processing. I might have put a light vignette on the left side of the image since that's where the bridge leads my eye, but otherwise cool shot! I love the detail in the bridge.

Such beautiful colors! Great composition too. I'm glad you didn't HDR the heck out of it like some would--it looks beautiful as is!

Wow, this is great. The colors and the mist in the background make this look so cold, which, paired with the sunset, create a nice metaphor of death. The detail is lovely, and the triangular composition works beautifully.

i love the layers in this: the reflection, the wall, and the window in the background. Great processing. It brings out the detail without being over-the-top.

There have been a handful of images I've pegged as being NikonJeb's, but now that I've found a train, I'm pretty sure I've found him too : ) If not, good mimicry! Great detail and leading lines.

Abandoned Skiff, Morris Island

This seems a little dark. The "white" clouds are definitely middle gray. I know that darkening the sky places the emphasis on the subject, but I'd bump up that part of the image a bit too! The play of the light is so beautiful that I'm sad to see it get lost in the darkness.

I love the lamb looking at the camera! The detail on the building is so beautifully quaint. Awesome find.
