Nice photo Giovanni.
Love the strong diagonal, textures and DOF too. For me, this photo has it all.

Cheers Michalis, it wasn't too hard. I'd spoken with the guy and arranged a fee (a hot drink, a sandwich and a chocolate bar). I lay opposite him in the street and it was just a case of waiting for the right frame to come along.
I must admit, I did get a few funny looks, I was sprawled on the floor in front of a burger restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. I got paid more attention than my subject, that's for sure.

Great tones, texture and lighting ... but it's the composition that makes this a "7"

Chad,
This is good use of fill in flash. Perhaps just a tad too much though. Try setting your flash to 1/2 exposure to keep some of the shadow depth around the neck, eyes and left hand side of the face.
I agree with the cropping comments. Too much space overhead and the logo has got to go.

Chad,
A stunning photograph with warmth and symmetry. Beautiful colours & great composition. The only flaw for me is the dark bubbles at the centre of the ripples. Without those, a "7".

Pat, this is a good shot and nice composition but the tonal range lets this shot down and the detail in the eye is lost in shadow. I like how the background light/dark change is split by the bird and there's some lovely detail in the feathers along the neck but it's just lacking the tonal punch to make this a "great" shot.
Hope this helps.

Great image. Nice shallow DOF with great light an colour. The strong diagonal draws the eye in and I love the way the line blends into the background on the lower LHS. If that blending was mirrored on the top RHS this would have been perfect.

Cernan, The clue's in the picture title. 
It was sunrise in August 2006. I was woken by my little boy at 05:15 ... I was not best pleased with him.
We went for a walk from the cottage we we staying in and I think the sunrise was 06:00 ... I was best pleased with him.

Larry, a stunning picture.
If I was to give constructive criticism, I'd like to have seen the use of a graduated filter to balance the top and bottom halves. But that's really a minor point and perhaps pesonal preference. The image is well composed, and has a beautiful light.
I comment here not because I'm returning a compliment, but because I was looking at the recent landscape images in Photo Critique and this one stood out from the rest on the page it was sat.
A top notch picture.

Nice shot. Good composition and great texture in the foreground. Perhaps just a tad over-exposed in the background, but to cure that would have lost the texture. ...

Nice image. It's always difficult to capture the essence of "Cat chess".
Perhaps the cat in the foreground is a touch under-exposed though. Either fill-in flash or a lower viewpoint to get more contrast in the sillhouette.

Another stunner. Fantastic texture & light and the crop is just enough to make the boot abstract. I wouldn't give the game away with the title though, let the viewer guess what it is.

Nice crisp shot, but I'm not too sure about the composition. Too much space on the RHS, not enough on the left.

Peter, Great composition. I really like this one.
About the colour splodge, it's difficult to say without knowing how the photo was taken and it's something that's happened on a few of your images ("10" a few pictures \/that way, also has this).I suspect the camera was in B&W mode, which possibly is producing these colour abhorrations. In Photoshop) changing the image Mode to Greyscale before you output it as a JPEG will get rid of this effect. Doesn't explain *why* it's happening though.

A great portrait of a fine young man. I'm being picky here, but I'd say the bottom crop is too close to the chin when combined with the wide crop either side. But that's being *really* picky.
Otherwise, it's a great pose and has superb lighting. Nice work.

So far, 11 views and no comments? What is Usefilm coming to?
This is an excellent shot, well composed and great colours (if a little noisy). Are you sure about the exposure time though? I would have though 5 seconds would have given a much flatter look to the water.
Nonetheless, a great shot.

Good chicken shot. She's superbly in focus and stands out well with the shallow DoF. Perhaps a lower viewpoint would give more of a chicken's eye view?
