Great shot. Love the movement, and tone. Interested to see camera settings and how this was edited.

Cat got your... lawn?
by AndreiD

Comment:
What I like:
- The timing of this shot is priceless!

What I don't like:
- It is more a portrait of the cat than a pic of the lawn or a cat in a lawn.
- The stick in the foreground is too bad, detracts from the shot.

Overall: love the cat, hate the stick.

Lawn Games

What I like:
- The colors and framing of this shot are wonderful.

What I don't like:
- the distortion from the zoom effect (I'm guessing)

Overall: feels a bit like stock art, but as stock art I think it would be better without the distortion.

What I like:
- Excellent framing

What I don't like:
- Use of HDR makes the trees look fake
- low saturation of the bricks.

Overall: Framed beautifully, but I'm not a big fan of the HDR here. I would have liked the HDR more if the detail of the bricks/ color of bricks had come through more.

Autumn Lawn

By no fault of your own, this is the third shot I've seen on the same theme. So my comments feel a bit recycled. That said, I do like this shot best of the three "Dying leaves/ Growing grass" shots I've seen so far.

A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule.

What I like:
- the grass, it looks almost like a painting. Very abstract. I would have loved it if the man wasn't in the frame, lol. This is mainly because the pattern of the grass has so much great visual appeal and the man breaks that (which I think was your point by the title.)

What I didn't like:
- That the man's top half is chopped out of frame
- His placement in top right is unsettling (which I think was on purpose, so I guess this comment could be considered an overall positive.)

Overall: unsettling shot.

What I like: the title made me laugh.

What I don't like:
- I'm having a hard time putting my finger on what seems off with this picture for me. I guess it comes down to the subject of the photo (the dead grass and snow) just aren't that visually interesting.
- I don't like how the tops of the trees were clipped out of the shot.

Overall: good exposure to capture both the lights and darks in this shot. Did you use HDR?

Weeds Rule
by grahamgator

Comment:
What I like:
- Framing
- focus/ DOF

What I don't like:
- The color of the flowers seems off. Not sure if they are suppose to be yellow or white. As is, they match the background bokeh color a bit too closely and kind of fad into it.

Overall: perhaps this would have been a better shot with use of a reflector to bounce some more light onto the flowers... Although I've never used reflectors on something so close to the ground before... Perhaps a small hand mirror with a coating of hair spray or a thin sheet of wax paper over it would have done the trick.

Overall: visually appealing shot.
