Lovely portrait. I find her hair and skin texture very satisfying and humanlike (as opposed to plastic doll). Just wish her dress was a slightly darker and more complementary hue for this background. Regards, ~Jon

Wonderful portrait with good contrast and strong communication. I'm sure the full-size version is "spot on" but this feels a little over sharpened (particularly her hair strands). Regards, ~Jon

I like the color of the sky in this shot, and you achieved good detail on the buildings. The moon also shows up well, although it is a pretty small element in the frame to hold down the title spot. One issue I have with the scene though is the lamp showing in the center building. If you could clone that out I think it would improve the shot. Nick

Subject is nicely isolated from his surroundings thanks to the backlighting. Glad you included his tail but this could still be cropped from the top and the left to give the subject a bit more prominence in the frame. Watermark is a bit distracting. Thanks for sharing, ~Jon

Absolutely great shot Steve and yes, the comparison you've shown here re the depression and isolation towards the events shown down below is very good and no, I don't think they are offering a solution at all whereas this advertisement is concerned. You have a great eye for photography for sure and I love the black and white effect. It really makes the photo stand out, if you know what I mean. :)

The busy bee is quite clear and the color of the flower is vibrant. I have problem with the way you handled the background though. You may be better off painting it in solid color instead.

This is an interesting abstract Diane, with a very simple composition and pleasing color. I'm not sure how I feel about the dark spot though. I'm not sure if it adds to the scene or breaks the harmony- probably the later for me. One idea is to perhaps exploit it by framing in a square format and then adding vignette to produce more of a tunneling effect towards it. TFS, Nick

Nice pattern shot. I like how you frame it, making the shaded frame part of the picture. I would remove the signature though.

Very nice effect, Diane. Color is appealing and the limited depth of field has provided a soft fusion as the title suggests. I just think this needs something more to give this sparkle (eg. Like a dewdrop on a stamen). Image size is a little small for critiquing purposes. Regards, ~Jon

An empty bench by the lake or around the environment can be a good tranquility landscape. But you need to show us the surrounding how it interact with the chair. Also, the broad daylight on the bench is to flat and harsh to entice the tranquility.

I absolutely love the name you gave for this photograph. It's really fitting. I am not crazy about the blue colour and wonder how it would have looked as a black and white composition. The reflection on the side and falling water is very eye-catching and I like it very much. Lovely shot Steve. :)

This is an interesting and creative shot Jan. I like the big beautiful smile on the subject and the bold colors. The background and blurring effect really make the face pop out from the frame. IMO cropping in a little more from the left to remove some of the OOF region would be nice. Nick
