An amish family out on a Sunday afternoon. I'm not expecting this to do great.. the sunlight was a bit hard to work with, and it was taken from a car, but I did what I could.

Nice soft focus shot, great composition and colors

soft focus ruins a great shot to me

The composition and the subject is good but I´m not sure I like your processing or filter usage. Also think the wb is litle cold and the image would have tolerated more contrast.

This is a great picture, but it looks like it might have been a little over saturated. The sky is a tad unnatural looking.

looks out of focus or over processed particularly the horizon

The post-processing is a bit heavy for me. The pic looks fake.

Good picture, but the settings are all off...

Shot through a car window?? The image has a hazy caste about it that is unsettling. If it was clearer and sharper, would be a magnificent print.

I like the colors here. I think maybe this one would do better without the soft focus applied.

Nice use of blur. I like that you can see her knee with the red dress in the opening of the buggy. The colors of the grass and sky seem a tad over saturated to my eye.

a little wahed out a little more contrast and you will have a great pic

what a way of life.. good composition and beautiful pic.

I like the idea, the picture just seems fuzzy and hard to focus on.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

the softness doenst work well in this photo, to me at least, wonderful subject and title though

the focus seems to be on the tree in the background ( could be the motion), but thats all I see that could be improved.

Does evoke a sense of time gone by, or timelessness. Good image.

The shot is fuzzy or unclear - like a shadow is over the whole shot or it has been muted with a cloudy layer of some sort.. You can barely see the people in the carriage so it is hard to tell if this really is their 'Sunday Best' as they dress similar every day which wouldn't really matter anyway. I have not been able to see the concept of family in the shot.

I like this soft work on this picture, well done, but you should have cropped the small bush on the left that is sneaking into the picture.

Oh, I wish you could have gotten the Amish people in the light some. A wonderful photo but needs tweeking.

This image lacks contrast giving the blacks a grey look. If it was intended, I'm sorry, It doesn't work for me. The composition is nice, as is the feeling of motion. I think it was just shot in too bright a light (midday sun). Also it doesn't really give a feeling of family to me.

has that "fuzzy" feel that I like - very relaxing
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful photo. Superbly composed. Nicely saturated. There is something about the post processing that softens the focus too much for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love this, wish it was a little more in focus, I know it's got the softness to it but I would like it to be a bit clearer....still 8

A little too much photoshop for my liking.
