Nicely done. The exposure is spot on and so even. Really works well by making the colors pop. The composition is also nice. I guess my only problem is the little thread like looking stuff in the top flower.

Very cool shot. The shutter speed to get some blur in the people really make this shot. The colors are awesome. Super shot.

I like it. I really like the way the flash caught a few raindrops. I'm sure they'll like it as well.

It is a good start. Good exposure and the composition is good but needs a little tweaking. The little leaves on the right edge are distracting. The biggest problem is the focus. The areas of sharp focus are so small that they are inconsequential. This needed to be shot at a higher f-stop to get more DOF. I think that would make it really nice.

Very very nice shot. Spot on focus on the head and good composition. This is a dragonfly.

Hi Rob, You've got this one nailed. Great exposure. Particularly like the reflection on the beach. Nice composition and I like seeing the Bay Bridge all lite up just underneath the GG. What are those white specs in the sky? Stars, airplanes? Nice shot.

Hi Sam, yes, I've been to Sedona and much of the southwest. I know what you are saying about losing pop when you post to here so understand your comment. I'll bet the print looks great. Hopefully I can get to Havasu falls one of these days.

I like the mood of the shot and her pose but I think she is too much in the center. If she were off to the right and facing left a bit, like she is here, I think this would be stronger

Such a great spot but it just looks like the photo has been overworked. Too much "pop". THe white of the water both big falls and the very small one mid left are blown out and the color of the red rocks just don't look real. Maybe that was your intent??? Composition works well.

One of my all time favorite places, Death Valley. This is a great spot but hard to shoot. You got the colors OK but because it is so in the middle of the day the light is harsh. ALthough some feel middle of the day is the best time for these colors. Did you use a polarizer? I think I might suggest tightening the composition a bit by zooming/cropping into the colors in the middle of the frame some.

Hey David. I like this shot. Good job on the composition with all these seed pods. Good exposure also. Would really lie to see them all in focus so stopping down a bit more might have worked.

I like this as well. Very good composition and I like the blurred leaves. Exposure generally good but hot on the white part of the flower and it loses detail that I'd like to see.

Wow, nicely done. i think this is the stronger of the two. Nice colors and the composition just flows better than the other. My guess is you had to use a split ND filter here? I like it!

Fine image here. Catching the last rays of light on the rocks works very well here. Good overall composition except the horizon has a noticeable tilt to the right. I also like the shutter speed as it gives just a bit of motion to the water.

This is nice. Good exposure and composition. I like the shadows moving up to the left. What kind of gets me a little bit is that I want to see the top of the reeds. Nice shot.

St. Marks Square? Brings back memories. I like this shot a lot. The exposure is well done, long enough for ghosting, short enough to tell it is people. The warm light works well also. i guess my only nit pic is that the foreground really is't interesting to me. I might crop it. Well done.

Hi, a good concept that needs a little work. The horizon is tilted first off and that detracts a lot. I really want to see the rest of the tree trunk. I don't think cutting it in half lengthwise worked here. I think the lighting is on the harsh side and would be really good at sunrise/sunset. I like the way you framed the top with the branches.

This is a wonderful photo. The exposure is right on and the black and white really works. The sense of motion from he clouds and the smooth water from the long exposure add a lot. I wish maybe the tree was not so in the center, but that is a nit pic. Very well done.

Roland, nice shot. Having grown up in the bay area I know this scene. I like the concept but because the train is going so fast and the shutter was so long, it is blurred so that it looks like a wall and the illusion of motion is almost gone.

Well done. I like the lighting and the composition as the colors pop nicely. I like the inclusion of th egreen grass to offset the golden rocks. I wonder if you took any with a longer shutter speed to make the water look more silky. Also, please tell me the tall pine tree that used to be on you left, part way down the trial is still there.

Hi John, Nice shot with a lot of potential. Such a great place. I think it's a little dark and without that one thing that grabs interest. Also would love to see it bigger to get a better feel for it. Thanks for sharing.

This is really nice. To be able to convey the feeling of the weather means you did something right. I like the progression of saturation from front to back and the overall general composition works very well. Nice shot, well seen and definitely worth the effort.

At first I wasn't sure about all the noise/grain that is visible but the more I look at it, the more I like it. It really gives it a painterly look that works very well in my opinion. The composition is very nice also and you caught the waves at a really nice point. I thik this would very nice on a wall.

Hi Kim,
I think you have a really nice overall composition here but the whole image is soft and that takes away. The fog is also blown out but I know it would be very hard to get it less and still keep detail in the trees.

Hi Alicia, you are right, intense color. You nailed the flower but the overall composition needs a little work. I suggest cropping bottom and trying to remove the bright white object in the background.
