Sunset at Black\'s Beach

The composition of this just doesn't do it for me. I like the idea of the lone swimmer returning from the sea, and the shadow and the use of silhouette is effective, although I would have preferred the figure to have been just a little larger and further into the frame.

I may be missing something here, but I don't really see the 'point' of this photo - perhaps it's a cultural thing and I'm completely missing the relevance of the bottle tops?

The focus is a bit soft - did you use auto focus, or manual? Many cameras struggle with auto-focus in low light, so ifyou were using this it may be better to switch to manual next time round. The photo is also tilted; a slight adjustment would sort this. The composition and scene have potential.

The Bridge

I find the tilt rather off-putting. Additionally there seems to be rather a lot of what appears to be chromatic abberation on the sky line - one of my lines has a problem with this, so I have to be careful what I choose to shoot. I am also wondering how you had the white balance set - personally I would have been tempted to set it at a higher colour temperature.

A clever idea; the blurred legs are very effective, but it is a shame that there is some movement in the rest of the body resulting in a rather soft image. Definitely worth trying more of these, 'though.

Sharper focus on the bison (?) would improve this no end.

Having read your description of how you achieved this shot, I rescind my comment about no bokeh; when commenting before, I had thought you had achieved the effect in PS. I think it a lovely photo, as I did before, but I am even more impressed with your technical skill now I know the techniques you used.

Wonderful lighting and background, and excellent use of the space, slight shame the baby's hands aren't in focus but nonetheless a 10.
