I like the composition of your image. YOu give us a good focal point that grounds us but then takes us deeper into the shot.......mate.

You do have dust on your sensor....see right aspect of image in the sky...it looks like a shy moon.

quite a poetic image, vast and colourful with realistic saturation.

A field and a forest combo, how clever. Nice and sharp with good tonal ranges.

I like the way this leads the eye into the image and you have a good gray tonality (from black to white and much in between). Nice.

I like this shot because it is a no-nonsense shot, it's honest. It presents with a comfortable view, nice marginal space all round and good focus. YUM

I understand how you feel but you have to recognize you are no slouch when it comes to photography. You can say easily what you like: I like this....and that and you can easily and diplomatically say...."your photo is good but .....I feel it would be better if...."

Sometimes you will get snarky responses but most times one can actually find a nice human quality in every person on this site.

Go, ahead, bite the bullet and tell us what touches your heart and what doesn't and why. I for one would really appreciate more in-depth reviews by members.

As for worrying about English.....phssshhhhhaaawwwwww.....mine ain't perfect for that matter!

Well, frankly speaking, I admire your talent as a photographer (and you already know how I feel about your photoshop skills which I've raved about since I got to know you). There is nothing wrong with your English, nothing at all and sometimes I hunger to hear from members to learn why my photo came in last ....why why why did everyone hate it when I loved it so? Please don't be shy to add a comment on how to improve....I may not agree with you but will appreciate you commenting.

LOL....and thank you for not ripping my head off.

Hi and thank you for the comparison. Here are my two cents worth, (not that you asked for it, sorry). The honey makes the image busier, more things to take away from the focus, which is supposed to be the bread and thereby it ought to be in sharp focus which the SBS is. We photographers do get emotionally attached to our images and obviously, the honey gives you an emotive pull, but for us peons looking at the image the honey just adds clutter. You do have the pomegranate and cup of tea in the SBS to plump out the story, and most importantly the bread is sharp. Anyhow, this is simply my subjective opinion only and perhaps you might be surprised by the final outcome to see how right you were and how wrong I was...

Comments whether they glow or constructively critique help not only the photographer who took the image but also the reviewer. It is a double-edged sword and this site would be made richer if more people added their two cents worth, don't you agree?

With this upload we can smell the bread as well as see it clearly (I wonder why I'm salivating? hmmmm). Nice sharpness showing good detail, colour palette rich and realistic. It is well cropped, nice and tight.

A story that speaks of love of bread and all the accoutrements that go with bread eating. Had the bread been in better focus it would have jumped out at us more but we do get the story.

So many things to like about your upload. The message is heard and seen (titles do matter). The fact that this is almost monochrome yet the bread is the only coloured aspect of this image really lets us focus on the bread. Also you have it with a bias towards dark and shadows so it whispers to you instead of screaming at you. The focus is on the bread . This is an image that shows us you worked on it and created a photograph, not just a happy snap. My dad who lived through the Second World war and got out of a "camp" always used to say to me "when you have bread you have no hunger". That is what you image says to me. A very well composed piece giving bread the nobility it deserves. Kudos.

Me thinks you will owe me another chocolate fudge sundae !

This photo makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I love how you caught the essence of Easter with these breads. I wonder if this image would have been even stronger with the "shmata" cropped down and a nip at the left.....themz my two cents worth.

This reminds me of IVF process. Well done, you have great shadows that look realistic and the whole story is wonderful. Thank you and congrats.

I like the way you manipualte your images. In this upload the baby doesn't look glued on but looks like part of the pod. You do really beautiful work. Thank you....and congrats.

Congrats on numero uno!

Fair enough.

I looked it up on youtube (but had to mute the woman) I learn something new from you every time! THANK YOU.

You caught a nice play of light on this black and white of roses. Why did you nip of the bouquet at the right? This is well exposed and the detail is clearly seen.

Love the textural quality to this upload and the colours a dynamic. Have you thought about putting up a slight vignette to highlight the flowers even more?

A lovely burst of excited flowers in orange. It's eye-catching. A bit more of a crop at the left to balance out the marginal space?

Canada could use a bit more patriotism, frankly.

Reminded me of Canada....except for all the flags

Congrats....a triple crown....WOW. YAYAYAYA.

Brian, congrats on these two wins....I hope you are "chuffed".

LOVED this and congratulations on #1.

Chirp chirp congrats on this win..........and also on the pysanka too! YAY!

Cool. Congrats on your win!

Congrats on this win. I liked this entry a lot. ........and congrats on #3!

Hey mate, big congrats!

I really like the way you have managed to play with light on these flowers. Nice

Like the colour palette of green and yellow and your POV pulls it in nicely.

I like it too but I wonder if a tighter crop on those 3 children and bubbles would have made this a stronger photo?

This is very nice and sharp on the main focal point. Well done.

Good one with the pov!

Good one with the pov!

You have balls!

Dynamite.

A closer crop on the bird would have punched him out even more. Nice and sharp.

Excellent stop action photo, full of excitement. I bet in colour it would be even more exciting, but that is a subjective opinion.

Can you do that? Make a tutorial? Where can we watch it....let me know PHULEEZE?

Congrats!

Congrats to you on this one!

Congrats.

Congrats.

Congrats!

Congrats to you too!
