Very nice, this one does not have as much of the "flash feel" as the first image. Really nice background. The angle of their feet strikes me as forced. Overall a very nice image, I would have been proud to have taken it.

I like the pose and the scenery, but agree that there is an obvious "flash feel" to the image

The Underclass

As with the others, you have done a fine job with this image. Changes? Maybe if the closer men weren't quite as centered and perhaps if you had been standing a little further left (or closer to the men) so the overhead lights would have created an angle through the image to draw you in.

The comments are suggestions that might have improved it, this is a nice image.

Very nice, I have yet to try one of these and look forward to the day that I can. I really like your work.

To me the one thing this image needs is for the bird to be looking more toward the lens.

The Outing

Very nice affect, I like the feel and your perspective for the image, the clouds add.

Two thoughts....the image seems "unbalanced" with the rocks running dead center in the image. I would consider cropping part of the bottom of the image. The other is that it is obvious that the ladies are not standing still so you lose the affect of a coversation on the rocks. Instead there is a "lack of permanence" to the image.

Very nice, this has a smoothing message kind of affect.

Are those tame rabbits or did you happen on this?? If they are tame, it would have been nice if they were closer to the camera and a larger part of the image. I would have done a bit of cloning to remove the fence posts and the dark spots slightly below them.

Blossom

Comment:
I really like the feel and overall affect of this image.

My gut tells me that the image is slightly out of balance...the bloom should be up further into the image. I also feel that the bloom is too small in the image....maybe cropping, but not so much as to lose the overall effect.

Nice capture. Your exposure, focus, etc, are on the mark.

I will comment on a perfect world if you will allow. I find the buildings behind the bird distracting...hard to change when you take the image ( but compared to a perfect world)and it would have been nice if the wings were extended rather than brought in on the left (again, against a perfect world)

I commented on the prior spider image and a lot of the same things are happening with this image. It would be nice if the spider was larger in the image (crop), depth of field will be a problem, and the really intense background draws you from the spider.

I have the same lens that you used on this image and it is really tough to get enough depth on field on something like a spider to make the image sing. I don't know that I have ever taken one that "sings". In this case, I think a much tighter crop would have brought the spider out more.

I think the background, especially since the spider is cut in half by the flower (I assume), distracts. It would have been better if the spider did not blend with the background so much.
