Cool. I like your crystal ball and/or marble. I done quite a few myself. Nicely done and great choice to do it in B/w.

Tangled Oaks

Looks like a wonderful place to go hiking. I just love oaks. Your photo has a nice warm glow. This one looks like it would be a great candidate for tonemapping and/or HDR to bring the detail out in the tree trucks to make it pop. I have never done it myself but hope to learn some day. I am sure some will probably say the photo too busy but that is one of the things I like about it. Nature is Nature. Hope it does well.

This is a beautiful bird portrait. I like how the vibrant colors are coming out of the dark. Makes it pop in my opinion. Diagonal composition works very well and I am amazed you actually caught some catch light in the eyes. Which is half the battle.

Whoa. I hate spiders but I do love when people can catch them in action. Great use of the rule of thirds. The focus and color tones is spot on.

Another great attempt at HDR. I really have to try that some time. Love the twisting roots.
