Nice and crisp, lovely shot. A little tip that someone showed me is to hold a piece of gold coloured foil (can get some from big chocolate bar wrappers or coffee bags) near a subject like this, and it provides a bit of soft light. That would help to bring out a little more detail at the base of the flower head. I carry a couple pieces in the camera bag, even glued a piece to a bit of folded cardboard from a cereal box.

I like the composition, but not the wide frame. I'm wondering if a thinner frame would be more effective?

A Mini Queen Victoria? hehehe...love the expression. Nice portrait, my only nit is that the reflection off the crown is just a tad overpowering, takes too much attention away from that determined little face.

The bull can cross the field in 9 seconds. Did you do in 8? ;-) I'm wanting a bit more light on the face, but it's still an effective silhouette. He's standing right in the middle of the frame...he OWNS that field! LOL!

Clean simple composition and nice colors in the background making this a striking silhouette. Lovely image. I like the feeling of the size of that huge tree. Charleston...is that one of those wonderful southern oaks?

I like the colours in this one. It's unfortunate that the placement of some of the branches make it look like they're growing out of her nose, and there's a little bright spot in the lower right, but that can't be helped. Overall a nice shot.

Lovely shot. I would have angled up just a bit, cropped off a bit of the bottom and emphasized more of the sky, but that's just personal choice. In a scene like this there's many angles that work. Nice catch.

The colour tones, soft lighting and the mist and the simple composition really work together to make this a beautiful image. I might have moved the horizon line either up or down a little, and cropped a bit off the right side, but that's just personal preference. Well done.

Lovely shot, nice clean background, nice that you've caught it singing, with the beak open. I've been browsing your portfolio, interesting to see birds and wildlife from your part of the world. Best of luck with your book project!

Nice pleasant portrait, I'm just wanting a bit more "punch" to the lighting, and would elliminate that little brown bit in the upper right corner.

Lovely landscape image, I like the way the light catches the trees with the shadowed areas behind, gives it such depth. I have one tiny nit: in the upper third, right at the top of that first slim tree, there's a little hooked line in the snowy hill behind. I know that's part of the hill, but it grabs my eye and I just want to erase it!

Mmmm...love the graphic composition and the natural soft sepia-like tones. That's what I loved on the desert, the formations. Now you're making me long for another trip out there.

You must have had fun putting this one together. ;-) This one just popped out from the thumbnails. I like the composition, and the lighting and contrast give it a surreal dramatic effect.

Yes, 'tis gray, which makes for a nice exposure on the rock formations. This would be a neat spot to zoom in on some areas in the rocks for some graphic images, would make for some neat bw shots.

I really love the way the sharp focus and beautful saturated coloured flowers in the focus blend into the soft background. And that bee just gives it the added touch.

Hmmm...I'm voting for the original green, makes the red cherries stand out a bit more. And I'm still wanting a little more depth of field on that focus.

Love this. My only little nits are the bright areas between the berries are a little too bright, there's a few bubbles there that kinda get lost. The other is that I'm wanting a tad more space at the top. I like the composition of this one.

I like the way the exposure and contrast make the clouds pop out in a 3-D effect in this one. The drop-shadow framing also adds to the effect. Nice shot.

I'm wanting more depth of field to bring the background flower into sharper focus, but that's not much of an issue. I like the composition and the saturated colours, lovely. I would crop a teeny bit from the top to get rid of that wee spot of black between the petals on the top edge to the far right.
