Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

Comment:
There's good depth in this image though there's something about it that makes the landscape feel like it's a model rather than the real thing.

Shadows make for interesting images. You've done well to get the edges of the shadow sharp. The texture in the blind adds interest.

Nourished By The Sun

I like your idea. The highlights of the tree with the sun behind can make for an amazing image.

In this case though I think the sun is a bit too central and not enough of the tree (IMO) is getting benefit from the back lighting.

Disco!

First impression: Fits nicely with your title.

Composition: Good choice of perspective. Gives the impression of platform shoes and disco. The objects are well placed within the frame.

Exposure: The image does not feel balanced as parts of the main objects are in shadow and some areas are too bright. I think this would probably work better if the exposure were more even over the shoe and glitter ball.

Impact: This image has kind of an 'in your face' effect. (to me that's not a good thing) The bright blue colour probably has something to do with that. A different white balance may have helped to get the colour you wanted.

Remember, this is just one opinion.

The Corral
by Hipychik

Comment:
The exposure and texture of the fence is wonderful. If this is the main subject then the horse and trees in the background are unnecessary.

If the horse is your main subject the the foreground fence is a big distraction. It also acts as a barrier to the rest of the image. The horse in this case needs to have more detail and the fence needs to be less prominent.

Also, the image feels a bit tilted to the left.

First impression: Could be a good study of texture

Composition: The dark area is off centre adding tension to the image. The different levels of the leaves (?) adds interest.

Exposure: Even though there are several very bright spots they don't seem to be too distracting. The eye is drawn right to the one leaf with a lot of texture. The position of the light to go across the leaves I think has helped here.

Impact: I think this is the area that is letting your image down the most. I think it is most likely due to the large dark area on the left third line. Bringing out more detail in that area may help here.

Who Cares That Spring Is Comming?

First impression: Strong landscape

Composition: I like the high position of the peaks but feel that there is too much in the foreground. Including a little more of the sky and a little less grass I think would work better. Also, because of the direction the girl is walking, I think it would have been better if she was walking into the frame rather than out of it.

Exposure: Seems right in most places though some parts of the cliff and the sand along the path seems a bit bright.

Impact: The strength of the cliffs is where I feel the impact of the image is coming from. I think more impact could be obtained by not cropping so close to the peak on the left. A lower angle may add to the impact as well.

Remember, this is just one opinion.

A Gift From Above

First impression : Attempt at high key

Composition: Positioning of the dog is fairly strong though maybe a vertical crop would have made it stronger. Also, cropping a little off the bottom so the nose wasn't so central I think would work as well.

Exposure: Blowing the highlights can work however I think that they still need to blend with the rest of the image. To me the change from bright to dark is too drastic. However, you did well to avoid red-eye.

Impact: Being close to the dog I think is where the impact of the image is coming from, the 'In your face' effect.

Remember, this is just one opinion.
