Great close up of this fruit. I do think the focus is off a bit on the main berry however the little berry in the lower right (viewer's right) is smack on focus. I like how this engages us.

Thanks to your post I shall never look at rocks the same way. To have put this into b/w gives it much more impact for the textural quality has been brought out really well. You have a broad gradient range that further gives a lot of depth. The composition follows horizontal cut rules of photography and further gives pizzazzz to this well rendered image.

Be careful where you put the focus on your picture. I can't see where the focus is here.

I like seeing those old people in the background with this 'old' car. A clean photograph, gray zones spot on.

Love the colour palette, artistic and pleasing. Sharp as a pin and centered composition with a nip at the top, and nice bokeh!

Hat yes, slighlty soft, could have used a better dof but nicely composed with a tight nip.

I like your pov and the way you composed this photo, nice broad gray tonality to it also. Was it snowing this day? The thumb could be a wee bit more in focus.

WOW I want to go there. Denlig, that was a great link, THANK YOU and this shot is skyrocketing good. Difficult to get such a huge tower into the shot but you did it.

The gray tonality on this image is pristine and your perspective tool (if you used it at all) is spot on. Very well done.

because of your gutsy take on this tower ...the tilt, it makes it a cut above and I like it a lot. Good detail showing in the bricks, nice gray zone balance. Kudos!

I see you want the focus on the box and have softened the "stuff" inside the box. This has a natural feel to the photo. Not overdone and point of view has been brought to our eye level.

I really like this image. Warm colours that compliment the silhouetted pier. Does the dark foreground add to the shot? If it were cropped out would that emphasize the pier more or take away the context?

Super late afternoon feel to this shot. The basket and bench both silhouetted and given context. For me the 'blown' sea takes a little away not least because the crisp line of the post is affected by it.

This is more of a sunset photograph versus a silhouette photograph but that doesn't make it a bad shot, if anything, the setting sun ignites the whole scene.

What is a fire basket and what is it used for...other than silhouette photographs Strong image I like how there is a glow on the basket and how balanced the shot feel with the blow out on the water....they visually seem to compliment each other.

Good in monochrome. See that wee thing on the margin line at the right on the pier? It is sneaking into your shot. I know you can't clone out on this site but in case you are putting it up again elsewhere do consider taking that out. Still you get good high marks

Yes, large green leaves and there seems to be magenta/blue hues interferring, can you now see that too? The compositional style is nice and artistic.

I think I'm in love. How lucky we are to be sharing this planet with these handsome creatures. Your heart must have skipped a beat to find him. A part of me thinks he could be contrasted a bit more to show more differentiation between the light and dark pyxles. What is really lovely is your point of view, y'see you shot from above and yet caught his eye looking at you...what this does is emphasizes his fragility, small...beautiful and it's a great photograph. I love it.

There are two things I really like about this image. I love that deep rich green colour and the selective colour has been really well done. I am looking hard for bleeding into and beyond and past the truck and cannot find anything. This is fine work. Wish I could give you a suggestion on how to improve upon it...but I can't.

I'm impressed with this shot because you even brought back the green grass, (no mean feat). Interesting objects but I don't understand what they are used for (can't understand your description). I like how they are shot on a diagonal from large to not so large. The photograph is sharp and the gray tonality is broad.

I find it interesting that I am drawn to the one eye of the mask (the yellow mask), just goes to show you how we gravitate to the "gate to the soul". Nice tight crop and full of vibrant colour.
