My first flower picture

If this is your first flower shot it's a really great effort. I gave it a six because I'm not nuts about the horizontal format for this subject. I love the how the yellow of the stamen really zings against the green and purple.

Natural Camoflauge

Ordinarily I would give a shot like this a lower score. I decided to look at it from the point of view as a nature documentation. What better way to illustrate the creature's camaflauge than to place it in drab surroundings. I think it could benefit from tighter cropping. I gave it a six.

I gave this a six. I like it quite a bit but somehow I didn't feel I wanted to give it a higher rating. I can't quite put my finger on why. I voted yesterday and am commenting today. I may have given it a higher rating today so it just may have been my mood. I think I just don't care for the saying. I like the idea.

I like this composition a lot. I gave it a six, however, because I really dislike this color technique. You had a good shot without the tricks.

This is a powerful image. It's certainly an all to common site in Providence, where I live. It's extremeley high key which is why I gave it only a six. It looks like you got an exposure reading from the wall instead of the guy's skin so the great colors (like that red wheel and his blue blanket) got a bit washed out looking and we really aren't seeing enough detail in his face.The yellow blanket on top of the carriage is so overexposed it almost seemlessly blends into the wall behind it.

Cool looking bug. Nice color and detail. Nice background blurring. I gave it a six because I didn't really love it.

My First Barn

Really nice composition. Good use of sepia. It's a bit overexposed. Notice the lack of details in the shadows. It would be nice to see more of that tractor, for instance. The sky is blown way out. I gave it a six.

I gave this a five because of the nice clean composition. It is bit to contrasty--the lights are really overexposed and high key. One way you can tell when this is the case is by looking at the highlights on the wood. The grain detail is completely washed out in that area. If your camera has a function allowing you to use a lower ISO rating, or a lower contrast, or a darken image---any of those---you would have a better exposure and a much more successful image.

Baby

This is a really nicely focused shot and that is some expression you've captured. I gave it a five though because, honestly, this image creeps me out and I don't think it's meant to. The baby's head looks weirdly huge because of this perspective combined with the naturally disproportionate head infants have. The eyes make me think of those creepy CGI commercials using babies and animals in unatural ways. I'm sure this is a really cute baby. This shot just isn't flattering him or her.

I gave this a five. I think it has a lot of potential. I really like the composition for the most part. Unfortunately, the colors are rather drab where they should really be popping. There seems to be an awfully large expanse of overexposed sky taking up the top of the frame.
