With a touch more brightness, this would be a sparkler. Nice arrangement and nice idea. 7

I really like this photo. Could you do it again in colour? 9

This is a nice photo, reflected in a suitably nice score. There is a serene elegance here, and the theme of simplicity is well-supported.

Compositionally, the elements are arranged very well - the right-hand trees, the top left sun reflection, the bottom, underscored.

The colour range is a bit limited. The reflection could be a touch brighter and the silhouette darker. Or the trees could have some more colour to balance with the brightness more. Or the overall brightness level could be increased. But, for me, somehow the colour range needs something extra.

You could try cropping just to show the top half, portrait.

Overall, a nice photo, but nothing outstanding.

The thumbnail intrigued me. When I opened it up I found a lovely photo: well-balanced, vibrant colours, interesting topic.

Winter Wonderland

This is a very nice scene. Very wintery. I can feel that I'm inside, all snuggly and toasty.

Hi, Brian,

This one is clearly better than the original. A few points stick out.

1) The overall brightness suits the image better.
2) The richness of the wood is more obvious.
3) The shadow has a more distinct shape.

Better.

I like this shot. It, like the ballerina, has a nice poise and balance. However, the brightness on the mirror somewhat detracts from the main subject, and her face is a bit soft.

I like the idea here, too. I also agree with Renee, the wood backing kind of detracts from the hair. Maybe if this were done in the open, the effect would be stronger.

Hi again!

Actually, having looked at this shot again and again, I'm finding that I like it more and more. In fact, it's going into my favourites. The blue sky really sets it off. Change my vote to a 10.

This is a really cool photo. Just one quibble - it should be more colour saturated.
