I love the warm and inviting tone of this tree, its very lovely. The subtle lighting that you have used to capture this really adds to the overall tranquility of the shot. Very interesting compostion on this as well. I like the interest in the forground and the overall depth you chose to take this shot at.

Side View Falls

You did a nice job with the timed exposure on this falls, you captured the flow and off shoots of the falls nicely without much overexposure.
I thnk you did a good job in the composing of this shot as well, the tree at the left is a bit distracting however. I would try cropping along this at about mid section of the tree and use it as a natural frame/boarder for the photo.

I am impressed that the leaves stayed still for 5 seconds, I have had issues with this in alot of the waterfalls that I have shot.

Beautiful scene.

Good combination of land and water the partcial balance of this along with the warm hues really give a calming and peaceful tone to this photo. I like the silohuetted feel of the pine in the foreground and you did a great job getting the line of reflection of the sun captured in the water.

Sorry that it took me such a long time to get over here for a comment on your shot, I apologize.

For the darkness challenge you would figure that this would fit a monolith in a cemetary around dusk, as I would agree to a point. The idea you had was great for the challenge but it the exposure being a bit bright doesnt really jump out and say dark to me.

The different greys in the photo along with the sharp detail amongst the inscription and in the other writing really gives a great deal of interest I keep on wanting to try to read it. However there is a slight oversaturation or oversharpen that gives off a slight haloing around the monument.

I think if it were a bit darker and the halo wasnt there it may have been alot better for you.

This just my overall opinion, but the photo overall lacks the sharpness to make this photo work. I really cannot find a spot in the overall photo that it sharp enough to draw my attention to it.

The other thing that stands out to me compostion of the photo, the subject is centered in the frame and along with the horizon being dead center at all it doesnt give much of a feel of depth nor a strong urge to examine through the photo further.

Lastly I think your subject is also overpowered by your background there is alot of things to look at behind your subject that in this photo hold more interest.

Hope this helps out a bit.

I really like the processing that you have done in this shot, The detail in the brick of the lighthouse is really cool along with the detail in it makes it look very nice.

The blue in the sky is really deep in tonality. It almost looks to blue. The burning of the clouds you did really sets a mood to the scene. You have a couple pieces of sensor dust in the lower right corner that you should have cloned out. However I really like the overall detail in throughout the clouds and sky.

There is an incredible macro shot of the dandelion. The DOF that you used really gave you some great seperation between your subject and your background while doing a great job of keeping the subject in focus and keeping outstanding detail.

I love the textures of each individual strand of the flower along with the dew that is spratically about the flower. Its just really fun to look into and at to see all the different pieces and textures you have captured here. I think you did a great job with this shot.

I really like the composition that you have working here. I like that you have tied the land in the lower right corner, it really gives a good anchor to the overall photo. The wave itself gives gives you a really nice diagonal giving the photo a good sense of depth and almost a 3d-ness to it.

I also like your stop motion of the photo, it gives you alot of texture in the breaking of the wave along with a sense of action overall. Really liking your breakwater in here.

On the River Boat

I really like the dreamy softness to this shot. The cooler tones of the sky and water create a peaceful, serene scene. While the color at the horizon adds some background intreest to draw you into the frame. A little bit of sharpening may bring out a little detail in the boat.

I also like the old tyme boarder that you have applied to this shot, it really gives an added interest to the photo overall. Great presentation on the photo.
