When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go

Nothing wrong with the idea of photographing a toilet. If the idea here was to present it at an angle it was not successful. This just looks like it is not level. Tilting the image closer to 45 degrees would have been a better perspective. A shallower front view with some sexy multicolored women's underwear draped over it would add more interest.

Your concept for this image is good. It has an intersting perspective and is framed well. The bight sky is washed out and it would be better if that were not true. Focus seems too much on the soft side. This is also resized much smaller than 640 pixels and that loses detail. Reshoot this image with a "better" sky, resized to 640 pixels on the horizontal side and judicious aplication of USM and you will be much happier with the result.

Concept, framing, and use of the rule of thirds are all good in this image. The image quality is not good and that is a major distraction. The tree, your main subject, is not well focused and there appears to be noise in the sky background. I don't know if it is true for this case but a scene like this sometimes is best taken near sunrise of sunset to give it more vibrant lighting and dramatic shadows. The idea of this image is definitely good.

Moving Out...

Classic train image taken at exactly the right moment. Even the tilt of the first engine works well. The overall quality of this image is not as good as it might be. Above just to the right of the engine the rocks appear smudged and out of focus different from the rest of the image. That is an effect I sometimes get from NeatImage for noise reduction. The rest if the image seems to suffere from that but to a lesser extent. That is too bad. This is an otherwise good setting and a nice capture.

Good use of negative space, nice level horizon. Good capture.

Great scene, good framing, decent color and lighting. Focus seems a little soft but a terrific vista.

Great focus, good depth of field. It must be Spring.

The setting for this image is wonderful and a good photo choice. This reminds me of the problem I always have photographing cactus because they are generally much taller than the things that surround them like you have with your subject here. I try to offset it to one side or the other with something of interest on the other side of the frame to balance the image better. Don't know if that can be done here but centering images generally gives them more of a snapshot quality then an artistic nature photograph.

What a nice idea for Mother's Day! You choice of subject and quality are good. Framing is well balanced on the frame. I would use noise reduction to smooth out the background noise a little bit. I think a little more contrast weould make this image even more vibrant. However, I would NOT use brightness/contrast adjustments for that. That is because increasing contrast would lose some of the flower's marvelous detail. Instead, in photoshop anyway, I would use "selective color" to deepen black more. This has the effect of increasing contrast without losing image detail. In any case this is a very nice image.

Tulips

The tulips bending in the breeze on a spring day is great. The fence makes a great background. The size of this image hurts it for voters. This is such a pretty picture it begs to be bigger on the screen. You are allowed to have images up to 640 pixels on a side and you should always try to use all of it if you can.
