Sailing the Pacific

I like this shot, but I think it would be much stronger with the horizon on the bottom third line. Believe me, I'm certainly not a strong believer in thirds, but there's a lot of dark water at the bottom of the frame that I don't think adds much to the shot. Also, the bird flying at the top is wonderful, but seems disconnected. If you crop some off the bottom, it seems to also bring the bird back into the photo.

I couldn't make my mind up about the graininess on this one. Wasn't sure about it on the pasta, but absolutely loved it on the jar and the background! I also like how you cropped off part of the jar. I thought it was a lot of fun and gave it a 7!

Strainer & Bowl

I really like this shot and am surprised that it didn't score higher. I like that you chose to cut off part of the outside bowl--it fits so well with the off-center strainer. I especially like that you can see the scratches in the bowl.

spectacular shot! I don't do many sitting bird shots, because I'm so fascinated with the flying. But this reminds me how wonderful a perching bird shot can be!!

oh how very cute! Is it full grown, or is it a baby? (I'm wondering because of all the spots...)

I love this one. It's one of those shots that really grows on you until you find it fascinating. Well done, yet again!
