Cute chick. I like the girl but this pose doesn't do much for me. Did she hurt herself or something? Is she hiding from someone? I don't know. Just not really appealing to me. And the colors here aren't very harmonious. The pants lack detail. they are just empty. The angle of her against the brickwall is hard on the eyes. This is a goodlooking gal. I could see her in much better poses than this. The lighting is really flat here too. But she is a cutey alright. James

This is cool. I like it. Lots of action and good flow to the story. Great toning too. I can feel the water and hear the splash. James

Lots of interesting lines here. Great texture. Reminiscent of old time cyanotypes. Like the frame edges here too. Is this part of a series? James

Nice image. Great sharpness throughout and the sheen of the feathers really is nice here. The coloration of the face contrasts nicely and the curve of the neck really flows well. Good balance. Wish I could pet it. James

Ever listen to "Night Beat" on the radio? It was a cool old radio show with a gravelly voiced newspaper reporter relating all the sordid life happening after hours in New York. And at the end of the story he would yell, "copy boy". And then walk away. This is great. Love the story going on here.

What a great idea. Good eye. And I love the hue here. Very warm. This should hang on the wall. Great job.

The idea here was great.The depth of the image is nice. The balance is ok too. The only change I would try and make here is the contrast levels here are a little flat. The tonal spread needs to be greater. There is no separation between the tree and the building and the rest of the elements in the image. The large amount of blank sky is distracting too. And the image appears unsharp throughout. Take another crack at this before it is gone. The idea is great but the execution falls short. James

Yeah, this is superb. Nice vision. Old time buildings are what I love to shoot the most. All the texture and detail. The color here is great. Very warm and old. Makes me want to walk in and have a soda and sit by the fire and talk about old times with the gents. james

Very interesting how everything else here is out of focus except for the girl. Including everything before and after her including that which should be in focus at her feet. Nice technique here. PS? I love it. James

Bridgette, this is awesome to say the least. I love this image. Very good eye for balance and depth of view. Colors are very nice. I love the muted quaility of the light. I can smell the swamp and feel the coolness. Very wintery feel too. Love it. Encore, encore. james

I love this image. Very sensual pose and balnced very well. The green cast and the washed out highlights distract me though. I like the texture. She is a very good looking kid. james

I agree with the thought of taking out the out of focus post on the left. Very distracting here. Otherwise I love the idea here.

This gives me the creeps. Ican imagine the place dark and quiet for centuries just slowly evolving to this magnificent grotto. And all the delicate stalactites. Sorry I have to leave. Claustrophobic. james

Nice image. Great serrendipity. A little tiny bit less sky for me and a little less yellow in the image would bring out the blue more and their habits would be white. Feels warm and windy to me. Smells clean. Good eye. James

This is very nicely balanced. Very nice tonal range here also. I like it. A little more exposure and a little less development would have yeilded better shadow detail while preserving the beautiful light here. James

My sentiments too. Different pose too. This is pretty static. Tell Susan she has an admirer. She's cute. And if you are going to shoot up like this, I always try and pose them in some interesting pose for more action and exagerate the effect by shooting from even lower. Can't hurt. This looks like the eastern section of the Saguarro Natl Monument. Lots of photo ops out there. Great sky. James

Holly is very pretty. Nice pose. Maybe the hand could have been more balanced with her chin but that is picky. It just seems that moving it a little more to her right(our left) would have made for more balance or curling her fingers just a touch more. And reflecting a little more light into the shadowed side of her face. Not a lot, just a tad more. Beautiful woman. James
