great forms in the chair. I would have preferred a simpler background behind it though.

cool lighting. the tomato almost looks translucent. wish the hot spot wasn't on the fruit though.

Black Crowned Night Herons with breeding plumage

great poses. the reflections make this shot as well as having the foreground bird with his back towards us, giving a great view of the long white head feathers. His pose amuses me too - it looks like he's just a guy standing there with his hands in his pockets, watching the world go by. well done.

outstanding tones and composition. this is a great example to show all the people who hate flower images that, when done well. they can be striking!

great point of view. the choice if birches is a good one too since the peeling and spotted bark has such interesting features.

eagle owl

Comment:
nice animal portrait. I like how the owl is peering over its shoulder like a model might strike a pose. the shot is lacking in contrast, though. It would have more punch if you darkened the dark values and brightened the highlights.

Aging Dock

Comment:
an interesting image but very blown out on the highlights. given the featureless sky, you might consider shooting tighter to put the dock more fully in the frame. A lower visual angle and positioning the camera to put the foreground boards in the left corner of the frame would have providing strong leading lines to guide the eye towards the interesting covered structure.

Power Inversion

my gut reaction was that I didn't like this, but for some reason I kept looking and it gets interesting. The sky gradient is very pleasing as it the different gray tones in the hills. nice job with a creative effort.

Missing shoe

Comment:
great character study. I like the story presented with the missing shoe. I wish the highlights in his jeans weren't o blown out, but it is a great image in any event.
