Hi Donna - I like the light through the leaves and the framing. I think the colors are lovely and bright and it is pleasing to look at. I would have preferred the leaf to the left not be cut off and some of the leaves to be more in focus. I thank you for sharing this and must say I gave this "take a picture of leaves against the light" try and didn't even come close to achieving this - thank you for the motivation! 1.3 thumbs up.

Great silhouetted cranes, Paul. The oranges, ambers and gold almost glow behind them. I like the straited reflections. Thanks for sharing. Tina

Paul,
Really beautiful shot. Super colours, lovely reflections and great spacing between your subjects. Looks like a wet day - so well done in getting out there with your camera.

The light is nice here, maybe the photo falls short because the model is not so happy. Best regards, Randy

Great shot Paul. Very good back light work from you. Colors are very nice and warm. The cranes' silhouttes are very well balanced in your frame. Composition is very good. Reflections is very good on the calmness water. Best regards.

You caught the golden light just perfect and the spacing of the birds works so well. I like the silo on the golden pond.

Jennifer,
Not a bad shot, but I've got a few ideas for improvement. The key to it all is deciding what you're trying to achieve with the shot. Here are some possible - with their corollaries.
Perhaps you wanted a general shot of this race. That would suggest that you need much more of field to be in focus. Close down the aperture and increase the ISO to get an adequate shutter speed. You probably also want more of the runners in view so zoom out a bit. It's...

HI Robin.I really like this light off the leaves and framing of the light around the leaves. The top right corner is a bit distracting to me and I kept putting a piece of paper there to imagine the photo cropped to show only the three leaves...or just the bottom leaf...I think this would work...I like the blurred background otherwise and thank you for sharing. I give this 1.3 thumbs up.

The frost on the maple leaf looks nice here, since it helps define some of the major veins on the leaf and really gives it some neat texture. That being said, I think that the interest of the maple leaf is lessened by the other leaves around it, which are a bit distracting and don't look nearly as nice. I don't mind the grass being in focus though, it's a little distracting but it has some neat patterns that I find interesting.

Hi Andrew,
Judging from the thumbnail i expected some PS work with an artificial frame. But i was pleasantly surprised. A fairly unusual and creative perspective that you've choosen here, I like that very much.
I guess a bit more indirect flash would have brought down the highlights a bit. I think that you should work especially on the highlight on her nose. And clone out the two very bright spot under the nose, the look like the baby needs to get his nose cleaned up....

Wow Jonathan.First thank you for sharing the links and helping me learn more. Second I think you did a great job with this. It is lovely and soft and peaceful. I would want to see a version with a bit less sky...and more land/water ...I totally like the bench and tree at opposite ends ..but would want the bench just slightly darker/sharper..if possible...

Beautiful couple. You caught a wonderful real moment and kept all lighting and and background simple. They will cherish this shot as will their child in years to come. Well done Jacques!

Great and sensitive environmental portrait. The stark contrast between the brightly dressed Navaho woman and the landscape is very nice. Southern Utah has much to see and marvel at. Well done.
be well, stan

I think this is a great shot Frank.
Depth of field is spot on - and you've got her well away from the background, which is great.
Nice soft skin.
Catchlights present - good.
Engaging with the audience.
Hair frames her head nicely.
A couple of things I think you could have improved.
Skin might be a bit too soft.
I'm not sure about the slight asymmetry in the arms. Consider a crop so you don't see any arm flesh or crop in on the left to match.
