I like the beautiful yellow color, layers of ground/cloud/sky and horizontal composition. The clouds have been exposed and rendered nicely but I would clone out the little cloud on the upper right corner. Vignetting on the upper corners could be reduced. Best regards.

This is a beautiful composition and capture of this nice city. Sky looks so good because of correct exposure. The river is guiding you in the photo nicely. City is standing in dominant place and again guiding you diagonally. The right side of the photo seems tilted to right, probably because of lens distortion. But not so important. Very well done. Best regards.

What an impressive expression, pose and capture. Perfect B&W treatment and contrast is there to create the drama with the fantastic framing. One may need a bit more negative space on the upper part but this would be just a personal preference which doesn't degrade the value of this photo. Congratulations. Regards.

Drama shown by this photo, and it is associated meaningful title, is impressive. You never care until you are also hit is the main message I received from the photo. B&W is definitely a good choice. Composition is imo excellent. DOF and exposure are spot on. Congratulations.

A well seen composition and well thought title dear Adam. It shouldn't be that easy to find three buildings like these, contrasting with their designs in that degree. The right hand building's side wall is not pleasing but used wisely as an unavoidable compositional element. I also think the photo needs more light. Thank you for sharing. Regards.

The colors and exposure in this damselfly macro are appealing, Mohamad. I like to capture their photos also. BG has been blurred nicely by the help of proper aperture. I would prefer the head shouldn't be downward looking and that close to the corner of the frame. Thanks for sharing.

Another attractive flying bee(s) photo of you Nick. Two of them is quite rare to capture. They are very sharp, but looks a bit over sharpened according to surrounding. But I like this contrast and sharpness. The flower is not so appealing and occupies a lot of place and I think a tighter crop would have also been good. Best regards.

Photo is an attractive invitation to a drink in presumably a tropical island. Very good composition and contrast. Maybe some parts are brighter than I would prefer (Maybe a result of increasing contrast?). A different and good taste. Regards.

It is a nice graphical B&W photo. Well exposed. Composition is proper, but still I feel the stem should be more in the corner (more diagonal framing?). The drop is interesting, sharp but in my taste a bit big and taking so much attention. These are all personal preferences and don't diminish the value of this successful photo. Best regards.

A beautiful scene and portrait. The expression of the the fisherman is impressive and reflecting his difficult life and his brave stance in front of it. Composition is excellent. Maybe exposure of the whites is a bit too much in my taste. Another very good photo of you. Kind regards.

Hi Yuri. I love the color, clarity and natural expression. The eye contact is very engaging . The texture and exposure of the white wall have been so well arranged and it has created a very pleasing background. I am not sure about the central positioning of the eyes and empty space on the sides in this landscape format. Anyway, this is another photo of yours that I always admire. Kind regards.

Funny we have just submitted similar concepts with the same title at the same time. The back light in the leaf is attractive and leading the eye to the insect. Green-black parts made the photo more interesting. My suggestion is to crop out the blurred right part of the leaf to comply with thirds. Regards.

A very natural rural scene. You have managed the harsh light moderately well, since I see no blown out areas and/or harsh shadows on the faces. But you need to increase contrast to eliminate the washed out bright look of the photo. 2TU for the composition and content. Thanks for sharing.

I think you have managed it very well, Jacline. The exposure as well as focus are all spot on. Birds are prominent on the green BG. Composition (places) of the birds are good so far RUT is concerned. But the stance of the birds dissociate them and making composition confusing (imo). Anyway, I like this multi-bird photo. Regards.

I appretiate the exposure and sharpness. I know how difficult to expose the blue tail part without underexposing the rest. Composition is very nice since they always stand in the middle of a stem. Here also the stem is dominating more than desired. Nice macro shot. Thanks for sharing.
