Excellent detail captured in the rooster and I like the way the red contrasts well with the B&W.

Country Cliche

Wonderful rendition of this cliche as I like the framing of the old and decrepit structure you're shooting in, as well as, the lighting and cloud formation outside. Really gives an eerie feel to this image. A classic!

In My Place

Dynamic capture of waterfall and bird and the lighting is excellent. Just a couple of suggestions...First, I would have liked more of a close up of the bird, as it kind of gets lost in the falls. Not zoom in all the way, but closer than you are. Secondly, I think it would have been more effective of an image in color. Well done, nonetheless.

I think some fill flash would have brightened up the lavender flowers and prevented them from being overshadowed by the more colorful sunset in the background.

Colors are good but I'm not sure I like the composition. For one, I don't like the well standing in the middle of the shot and blocking out the main subject. Secondly, I find the structures not interesting and don't find that this photo presents anything new or exciting to me, but is just a photo to record the subjects.

What a way to slaughter a gentle and loving animal !!! Who knows if this pig is even dead yet... and they're cutting it up already. Makes me want to scream !

It's hard to tell yet just where you stand on this but it's a good photojournalistic picture depicting a part of life that most people would rather not see. I particularly like the expression that you've captured in the man's face holding the knife on the left.

If you have a "heart" then this photo is evocative and emotive. If not, then it merely exhibits the technique of a cold and calculated death with good exposure and focus as there's no question how this animal died..a slow torturous boil to death followed by a skinning and butchering. Guess I"m of the former type and judging by your title, you are of the latter type.

I'm still giving you a high mark.

...and we have a picture window, too!

Very nice colors, and I like the frame within the frame concept, but I think you've focused on the wrong element in the picture. The structure pictured within the window should be more focused less on the inside wall framing the main structure.

Absolutely beautiful framing of the image by the tree branches above and the grasses below. Just not a whole lot of interesting subject matter in the center part of the photo. Also, I'm kinda neutral about the B&W.
