Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Boyte...

I love the composition you chose on this photo... the flowers in the lower left seem to create a nice lead into the scene. I also believe that the lighting for this shot worked out nicely... the exposure is good with no over/under areas... The only issue I see that bugs me a little in the composition is the top of the mill is a bit close to the edge of the frame... It looks like it could use just a little breathing room maybe...

The text was a tough situation on this card... there isn't really a great place to put it....

Excellent work :)

Hey Boyte! Lovely shot of the Old Mill here. I really expected it to do better. Once again, since I had no photo entered I didn't vote, but I do like the photo.

Beautiful. Love the angle with the mill over to the right. I also really like the railings of the bridge. The grass in the front is perfect. The focus seems a bit soft in places, I wonder if it was slightly windy? Otherwise great job. Just a suggestion, the writing is a little hard on the eyes. Maybe a non cursive print would have worked better. ~Heather~

What a verdant, lush place! I love your composition of this image. The color of your text is a little off to me, but maybe that's just my strange sense of color. I love this shot!

I like that you kept more of the creek to give yourself space to write the text, but the font and colour don't stand out enough from the water, and the tall leaves/grass distract from the quaintness of the mill.

Beautiful tranquil site...and so well photographed. North Little Rock should make you a purchase offer for this.

Beautiful shot but maybe a bit over exposed? Could be my old eyes too.

Okay. You've got me convinced! I'm packing my bags and coming visiting you in Arkansas! Okay?

This is a very picturesque and typical postcard image. Very inviting indeed, you have a good eye. Don't forget to pick me up at the airport!

You took pains to get a good vantage spot.

This is a great historical attraction shot. But I'm afraid the text is almost lost; very hard to read for me. Maybe white or some lighter color, or put it on a larger border off of the pic.

Nice DOF. foreground and background and subject all in focus. Nice job

the text isn't easily readable, nice compo, nice image

Ok, here I come. What a beautiful place to visit.

The orange text feels out of place here for me. With that aside the photo itself looks really good I like it a lot. The colors are great, and the scene is very beautiful.
