Fabulous. Sunset with subdued colours; great foreground; interest along the horizon; long exposure to turn the waves smoother; great clouds. Love the image.

Glad I looked at the other comments first. I didn't know what was in the foreground, and as a warm climate person, have very limited experience of snow. Now I understand and the image become interesting.

I love this image. Still, and peaceful. Plenty of interest in the shot. Your eyes keep wandering up and down the lines of boats. So much detail here to feast on. I also like the 'gentle' colours of the image. Excellent.

Very dramatic photo. Really well done.

Superb composition. Love the horizontal lines - creates a very pleasing image. Very nice.

Great colours and interesting grungy effect on the rocks. Sharp, well composed, sun has set so the image is not blown out. Lovely colour range. Super shot.

Good composition - some excellent points of interest to keep the eye working through the image. This type of shot needs sharper focus not the soft treatment which for me flattens it out too much.

Lovely image - parent and child at the end of the day. Well executed.

Great colours and colour contrasts. The image would be improved in my opinion with a crop from just below the shoreline to just above the dark cloud that goes right across the image. This would emphasize the horizontal lines in the image.

Excellent with the sun and the colour on the water. The spiky tuft of grass and its mirror image are really good. I feel, however, that the middle ground between the tuft of grass and the far tree line is lost. I think it would be better all in sharp focus.

Good shot - lovely vivid colours and super reflection on the water. I always feel that these shots are improved with something in the foreground - a boat, a person etc.

Standard portrait - well done. Good light on the right part of the image - the face. Enigmatic.

Fabulous deep eyes - they really draw you in and burn out at you. I also like the subdued palette; it adds to the mystery of the image. There has been a distance travelled by this person - you can feel it.

Nice portrait. Good soft face and direct eye contact. I would have preferred to have the top of the head in the image as well as hair each side of her face.

Classic portrait - well executed. I think it would be improved by cropping from the right and from the bottom.

Cute. What a lovely smile - me and my friend! Good that the two faces are close together. Love the textured wall as a background.

What a great shot. Superb eye contact - excellent composition with the figure surrounded by the sacks to give context and texture. Some great colour but the palette is well controlled and not too vivid which retains the environment in which the subject works.

Great composition - textured sections above and below the eyes. The image gets the viewer thinking because of the title 'Samurai' but the face is half hidden by a decorative fan. Is that a contradiction - I wonder what is going on!?

Super shot. Wonderful face and great texture in the clothes. He is a contented man at peace with himself - probably a village headman to whom wise decisions come easily. The light emphasises the face but the rest of the shot is still detailed. Great!!

Nice face and nice pose but the focal point is the end of her 'pony' tail. It makes the rest of the face softer but the eye is drawn away from the prime area which is the face.

Good image. Beautiful, thoughtful face and nice 'soft' background. Might it be better with some of the right hand area cropped out so that the image was square?

Great character - good light on the folds of her dress. You wouldn't mess with this lady.

Nicely executed photo. Great smile that endears the subject to the viewer. But is it a photo of the bike or the person? Lovely period feel to the image with BSA and ARP in the image.

Fabulously cheeky face. Black background makes the image stand out really well. At first I thought the noise too much but after a while I think the dusty effect adds to the photo by giving it context - a street in the back of beyond. Yes - he'd be able to talk you into buying a wreck!!

Super image. Colourful - unusual angle - good depth of field - great light. Very well done.

Nice idea and very colourful. My feeling is that with a larger depth of field the image would have been better.
