I have taken pictures at this exact spot, with nearly the same frame, with the tide maybe a little higher up and the sun a little further down... crazy.

So i guess i should say something.
I think this one blows my ol' original cliff falls away... My second version in sepia however, is a different enough shot to remain free of your upstaging antics 
I think the foreground ferns do wonders for the shot, giving it fantastic depth that was lacking in my original. Also, the wider angle was a give move, allowing you to included the second falls. Finally,the tones and range of colours here are fanastic.
Enough said, I ought not tell you about anymore of my spots.
good job jay,
matt

The DOF really is great. As a whole, the image is very tidy and uniform... meanwhile the patterns and shodows throughout give it a clean complexity. also, thanks for your kind words.

The face is a litte blurry and hard to percieve. However, the background is great. i really like the depth of field and light distribution throughout it.
good stuff,

This is a great shot with outstanding texture. I'm quite impressed with your portfolio. You manage to capture your subjects within a clean, and minimal context.

A beautiful capture... good use of light. I find the lit details in the bottom right corner a little distracting. Perhaps burning that out would focus all attention where it out to.
good stuff.

Kinda boring. There is nothing that really catches my eye here. Something like a pier extending out into the frame or even a boat would give this image some subject.

Hey Anth, Dont be discouraged by the lack of critiques - they dont validate the photographs.
I think this is a great piece - A clean, well balanced image. It'd make a good album cover for say: Animal Collective.

"What an odd picture. The lighting is gorgeous. Has the image been stretched at all?" I was wondering about these things, and then i see the rat... out of left field. hehe, good stuff. This is a good conversation piece.

This is a great a shot. Karina's idea of b&w is also a good one. My recommendation would be to crop out a bit of the left side, to balance the boys equally in the frame. And upon second look, the b&w version work fantastically with the differing shades of their shirts. light darker, darkest. Good stuff,

Wow. A remarkable image, I like the border, it works well with the high contrast image. The foregeround really pulls you down the field to the horizon. I relly like this, thanks for sharing.

I find any patterned orchards or fields difficult to capture on film... Sure, i can snap a shot down an aisle, but recreating the dizzying effect of the maze as you drive by is an entirely different accomplishment. Well, you've done that here. The complexity of the grid is gorgeous in this late-day light.
Thanks for sharing,

Nice portrait Meagan. Good choice of foreground and background. I see what you mean about some lost quality. Did you use the sharpening option when uploading it? i find that often reduces picture quality. Also, i hope you dont mind... but i played around with it in Photoshop a bit... what do you think?

Fanastic contrasts here... I would sugest reposting this image but without sharpening the image. It has resulted in a rather grainy image.
