Classical landscape photo. Should be "editor's choice" for the dramatic black/white shadows and composition.
A masterpiece.
Caro Fábio,
Um fotografia clássica. Deveria ser uma escolha do editor por sua dramática sombras no preto/branco e na composição.
Uma obra prima.

Ver very clichê, but...beautiful. I really liked it. The position of her face (total desolation) and the transparency of the fabric (so fragile) are great.
Congratulations.

Dear Ursula,
I really liked the unusual and strong colours of your photo. Very well done.
Otherwise, permit me to suggest a little crop on the top, to reduce the dead space, and emphasize the flower. Also, cutting the upper top, will allow the branch to guide the eyes to the blue flower.
Regards

Dear Peter,
Welcome.
Really a nice photo, I loved those people. The colours are also fantastic, in abundance.
But I am a little crazy about croping, specially when people are involved, and would crop your photo a little, like the example attached. I also sharpened it a little (25/10/3 US PS). Hope you approve it.

The branches of the tree are dramatic, given an impression that something terrific happened. You choose the right tone for this. Really well done.

Dear Panda Panda,
If you had hidden the sun behind the body, you would get a better photo with a halo around her body. If you don't want her in silhouette, fire a flash to fill her face.
Try it, I am sure you will like it.

Caro Paulo,
Sua foto da aranha é interessante, pelo motivo, cores fortes, etc.
Se fosse eu, cortaria um pouco do excesso de fundo que existe, concentrando a atenção no motivo principal, no caso a aranha, como o titulo sugere. Veja que também adicionei um pouco de nitidez a foto, pois acredito que ela tenha sido tirada sem tripé. Corrigi um pouco os niveis e contraste também.
Abraços

Oi, eu novamente.
Esta foto tem uma ótima expressão facial e uma boa saturação de cores, porém... novamente tremida ou fora de foco. Tente usar uma abertura de diafragma menor, em torno de 5,6, para conseguir um pouco mais de profundidade de campo, colocando assim o olho direito em foco também.
Abraços
Mauro

Caro Emerson,
O seu assunto, a flor da Ninféia, é interessante, porém gostaria de sugerir algumas coisas:
1- Nunca, jamais, use flash com esta proximidade se vc tem um fundo escuro e úmido (refletivo). Use sempre luz natural ou um flash mais distante, não o flash incorporado a camera.
2- Use sempre um tripé para este tipo de foto. Quanto mais próximo, mais aparecerá borrada se houver o minimo movimento na camera. Eu até mesmo uso sempre o "timer" para evitar balançar a camera com o movimento de apertar o disparador.
3- Enquadre melhor suas flores, elas não precisam ficar isoladas no meio da foto, corte um pouco do fundo.
4- Assim como em retratos o ideal é focar nos olhos, nas flores o ideal é focar o centro. Caso não seja deliberada a escolha em outro ponto de interesse.
5- Como vc tem acesso a bastante flores, como percebo no seu portfolio, tente novamente fotografar desta maneira. Seu eu puder ser de alguma ajuda, não hesite em me contatar no email mauroma@terra.com.br ou ICQ 318540363. Abraços Mauro

I can't resist to comment this photo. What a photo, fantastic. The "cleaness" of the fabric and face contrast drastically with the background.
One of my favorites indeed.

Really nice work. The soft colours of background stress the bright colours of the dancer.
I liked the sand painting finish as well.

Really a great "jornalistic" photo, huge impact.
I am just wondering, was the cat added later? The back of the cat has a different "white" than the rest of the photo.

This effect add a cartoon characteristic to your photo. The original photo seems to be great, almost colourless, and the character walking out looking suspicious.
The diagonal line (stairs) leading to the centre (man), really holds the eyes of the viewer inside the photo. The window and door block the way out.
Bravo!!!

Dear Gorete,
The subject of your photo is interesting. The signs of time is also interesting, but the final result is not satisfatory. If I could, I would like to suggest you to crop the excessive background, to focus the attention on the angel, and balance the level a little, like I did in the example attached.
Cara Gorete,
O assunto de sua foto é interessante. Os sinais de envelhecimento também é interessante, mas o resultado final não é tão satisfatório. Se eu pudesse sugerir, eu aconselharia a cortar um pouco do fundo excessivo, para focar a atenção no anjo, e equilibrar os niveis um pouco, como fiz no exemplo anexo.
Abraços

Great Photo, fantastic fantasy land.
In old days I used to take photos like this one using Cokin Creative filters.
(Sure I don't miss the "good" old days).
Now, light is very good, the grain is perfect for the mood and the gradient colors well applied.
Congratulations.

Nice portrait. The solution of the light thru the hat is fantastic.
But, like Miguel Martinez said above, I would crop the botton area a little, making it square.

Wow, it is cold out there, isn't?
I never photographed in snow but I believe it must be very hard to comply with white balance. Have you measured the sky to get it right?
That's why I admire your picture with nice whites and blues.
Bravo!
By the way, I also admire "sunrises" because I never see one. They are always gone when I get out of bed.

The soft degrade of the background also add to final result.
