The car hurts the concept, it just looks like a paint job, rather than showing a person that is half human, half horse...

I really like the color scheme of this photo. The cork is a great focal point, with the lines and shapes wonderfully interactive to move the eye around the composition and back to the cork. Very nice job!

Awesome reflection. The colors in this are wonderful.

MossyB says:

The vertical white line is very distracting for this photo, and the nose profile is somewhat compromised by tree silhouettes in the background. You'd be better off cropping the photo to get rid of as much of the trees and fence on the left as you can, and then Burning the white line down to be less dominant, since Burn and Dodge are allowed.

I really like the subtle lighting on the window sill and side. This photo tells a nice visual story. Well done.

Great composition. The shapes formed by the water reflection really make this photo dynamic and lovely.

Eye of the Bridge

MossyB says:

Way too dark. It could be a statue of Larry, Moe and Curly or any three strangers off the street. There is no detail to let the viewer identify who the statue portrays, and their silhouettes are not synonymous poses for them, either.

The flash seems a bit too strong, creating very harsh shadows, but still an interesting shot. I've never seen a wine cup like that.

This looks a bit too low contrast and kind of grayed out. There's no real depth to the trees and the sky looks overcast, even though you can see some blue in it.

Nice tonal range for such a small subject. The toothpick has good detail, and I like the background.

It looks over-processed. The values are blown out, with the lights pushed to almost glowing white. HDR should display a wide dynamic range of luminance from dark to light, not just push the extremes at both ends.

It looks fine to me on a 19" monitor at Hi-Res...There is some color noise, but that's almost a given with point and shoot cameras.

Definitely not your average "zoo photo." Nicely done!

Hard to appreciate it in black and white. It could be a rock, it could be a moldy fig...Just not enough visual contrast for all the subtle tones in hazlenuts.
Some things truly are better in color, in my opinion...

Or, you can clone in another leg. Or add a leg from some other source image. Or warp her skirt to be longer on one side hiding an imaginary leg...

It's lit a bit better, but she still looks like a woman with only one leg. Kind of like a peg with hair wearing a skirt...lol!

There is no ground reference point, so it is hard to tell how low you are in this photograph. The flowers could be 2 - 3 feet tall for all we know...

Too bad the shoreline bisects the image in the middle of the picture plane. It basically cuts your image in two, rather than enhancing the directional towards the sun...

cityscape
avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

The edges of the beaver tail are a bit too hard, and the fur looks strange suddenly stopping at those hard edges. You might slightly "fluff" the edges with a brush and the smudge tool, but at the very least, slightly go over them with the blur tool at a low setting to help them blend better with the background.

What
avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

The coffee stain on the paper and table looks too fake. Such a stain would spread on the paper, not be "perfect." There's also too much dead space around your focal point. It would be stronger if you cropped most of that off, and brought the main elements of the newspaper and magazine more into dominance.

Lost in the maze
avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

Interesting idea, but the execution needs a lot of work...
The whites are too bright for a dim alley, those teeth almost glow.
The alley itself is crooked, leaning down to the right.
The proportion of all the animals is terribly inconsistent. The parrot is huge, with the frog even larger, while the elephant is tiny, and the giraffe is either too short, or is standing between floors of the building - the angle of it's neck doesn't provide for it possibly being lying down...And why doesn't the miniature elephant have any ears???
The lighting of everything is jumbled, with nothing corresponding to the back lighting. Lit on top, lit from the front, and the oversized lion cub is lit from some non-existent spotlight that doesn't seem to illuminate anything else that low to the ground, not even its feet...

Fantasy is one thing, but this almost crosses the line to nonsensical. You've done better work, this just looks hurried with no attention to detail.

It's too dark, overall. You can barely make out the "Intel," and the rest of the image is to dark to appear as computer anything. It's just a bunch of shadows.

MossyB says:

A little too much excess space around the dragonfly. Since it is the focal point, and since it appears to be fairly tiny, I'd crop most of the excess off, to let the dragonfly be more dominant in the photo.
