Neat work. Does it really need the lights at each side of frame? I can see why the answer might be yes, but they seem to lead to a distortion of composition, being not quite equi-distant from the memorial.

Impressive - exposure is spot on, though these days perhaps that's less impressive than it once was. Suspicion of some heavy-handed darkening of sky, but overall good use of weirdness of lens in producing this image.

A thousand comments, no doubt ;-) Perhaps, you kneed a closer crop?

Red River Inlet at Full Ebb

Without being a great follower of his stuff, I'd still have to say this was Robert's. It bears (forgive pun) the hallmarks of the HDR, and the compositional sense, and the flat-landscape. Fine work, as usual. I wish i could get more excited about landscapes these days ...

In a scene so full of textures, and without much interesting colour this should surely have been black and white? You've done well in this light to keep detail in the face without over-doing everything else too much. The dog's gaze takes the eye out of frame, which is a pity - it would cry out for waiting for the moment when the dog looks at the bloke, really; maybe that wasn't an opportunity, but it still detracts from the coherence of the image.

Cup of Tea

Comment:
It seems an odd decision to shoot this not-quite-centred, and not quite from directly above. It's the 'quite' that's the problem - it's so nearly from directly above, and so nearly centred that I don't see what you gain, whilst losing the graphic strangeness that the directly above shot would surely have. You do have a great tonality in the edge of the tea, but would you have lost that from above? Don't know, but this seems neither one thing nor another.

Strong technically - detail and exposure are flawless. I remain unconvinced about the pink collar - show more of it or lose it completely I don't know, but with just occasional hints of it it perhaps becomes distracting. If it were my pet i'd be delighted with your work.

Interesting, arresting, full of implications and intimations. Timor mortis conturbat me ... Has the look of a child, and the number has implications from all over the place. I hope it's slightly happier than one suspects. One of very few images where a simple documentary style is precisely what is required. Thanks for sharing.

The Red House
by Xilebo

Comment:
The foreground posts kind of confuse the composition - though i can see your thinking with the road. There's a strange lack of clarity to the whole presentation - slightly noisy, and lacking real fine detail: that could be a number of things, like under-exposure, simple lack of resolution, processing problems. The shot overall, I think, could do with more punch in the tonality - taking the bright points further towards white, whereas they tend to grey here. Also, the house is perhaps too far out of frame for a strong composition, feeling a bit crowded toward the right edge. It has potential I'd say, but i don't think you've really managed to bring it out.

Nice moment - a little contrast work might have been more sympathetic to the skin tones, which seem overly pale and washed out here.
