I really liek the colors here and the sense of movement in each picture...although I think the size hurts it a little.

Comment by UNCLEBRO:
a good idea.
But I think the images aren't crisp and clear enough.
That may be due to the size of them though.
I don't know!!!!

Comment by Rikki:
This is borderline digital art from my first look. Maybe it's the noise factor. Anyway, try using Neat Image to remove the aberations on the silhouette. Great image.

Comment by Rikki:
Great silhouette and colors. Crop is tighter so you lose that distracting element on the left and the right. A frame would finish this off.

The Horseman

Comment by jpeters:
I like the high key look here and the horseman's face that is hidden at first but then pops out at you. Do you have any other angles of this statue? I would like to see an angle that gives some detail to the horses faces, too. Nice photo. Keep up the good work.

Great colors and subject! I don't know if this is cropped much, and I'm sure it was difficult to compose quickly with these horses...but I wish the horses on the right weren't cut off. Beautiful animals and a nice shot.

Comment by jpochard:
Again, wonderful use of dof, but I agree with many of the comments that composition change could make a bigger impact. I would really crop in closer and lose most of the green. I'd work with a little bit of dodging and burning to highlight the center of the flower even more, and sharpen it up as much as you can without losing quality. A great bloom to work with, and even as is, I think it's above average.

Comment by jpochard:
The top part is a little dark for my tastes (would like to see a bit more detail of the trees), however the overall effect is wonderful. The horizontal crop and the angel bring impact on the headstones nicely. I'd like to go back there sometime (without a 9yr. old!) for some more photos.

This looks like some awesome other-world plant. :) Really great fireworks shot. The "design" really makes it unique and you did a good job with the colors and clarity.

Comment by jpochard:
I think this is lovely! I would bump the whites and/or contrast a bit to brighten it up just a little. I also wish the focused flower wasn't quite so far off to the left...it's too close to the edge for my tastes. The idea and the dof though, is excellent. I think you should try something like this again and tweak those few things.
