Learn To Scuba Dive

Great light pattern and texture to the sand! I think the glare coming off the water has reduced the contrast and color saturation somewhat which could have been avoided by using a polarizing filter. Impressive shot otherwise.

Lighting is nice and even, albeit a bit flat. Good color saturation and well exposed. Good luck.

Audacity

Great concept! I love the color against the backdrop of greytones, but the colors could have been more saturated. A bit dark in the leaves below. Also, the glare above the upper right petal is distracting, as well as, the leaves in the upper right. I think many of your problems could have been avoided with softer light and better in-camera cropping. One more thing is the flower is too centered. Hope this was helpful and you didn't find it too harsh of a critique.

More Running

Great color but contrast is a bit too high as you've lost detail in the man. Should have exposed when runner was between rocks. Also, horizon is not level.

Maybe This Will Be The Year

DOF is not deep enough to include the cigarette, which is an important element in this shot. Also, lighting seems uneven as evidenced by the fading of the printed message.

You certainly have your work cut out for you! Good contrast and very rich looking blacks, just the highlights in the upper left are blown out a bit too much, but not terribly so. Composition is a little busy, but well designed.

This year I learn to play saxophone

Perhaps less of a close up shot would have had more impact for me as the reflection of your surroundings in the sax is distracting. Also, the red/pinkish highlights seem "off."

Maybe this year...

Brilliant! Nicely done abstract. Like the composition and then colors.

Nice high key image with good contrast. Image is a little flat for me with your choice of desaturation and shadows could be a bit softer as well. Lighting appears too harsh, but I guess that's all part of high key images. Composition is well balanced.
