It's interesting how we all have different likes. For me the four 'footprints' add interest What are they? possibly animal prints. Their soft focus adds interest. To avoid burn out in the bright reflection is good and probably accounts for the slight underexposure. The composition and placement of snow lump is good. Thanks for sharing.

An interesting ceiling shot. I have one like this, a lovely building, but yours is slightly Better ! I agree about the blown- out window on upper right. I wonder also if the photo was rotated so the 'wall' on the left, was placed at the bottom would be even more leasing. Good focus and overall exposure.

I Like the composition and colours, but the image is grainy and/or slightly out of focus. As personal prejudices , I think the name in the corner spoils the whole impression and the white border seems like a postcard.

A Very smart looking crab! I like te sharpness, colour, exposure, and angle of taking. However I agree the out of focus area on bottom left is annoying. A tighter crop, preserving the ratios, would look a lot better. K

Like the previous critic I find these shots difficult to take. This one seems a little 'flat' - if the walls of water were angled across not straight in front- taken from a different viewpoint more to the left or right, This would add interest. A little more cropping - especially of the foreground would improve i think. Focus and exposure - spot on, K

This could be a great flower shot, but is grossly underexposed. The waterdrops do add to the interest. K

A nicely seen shot of the fungi. i like the lighting and exposure. The out of focus leaves in the foreground and the 'moth eaten' leaves in the centre spoil it for me. Cropping a little of the bottom and moving the view point a little to the left would help. Still overall quite pleasing, Stephen.

A pleasant shot of the flower, cleverly photoshopped.Nicely framed with pleasing tones, good exposure, and good soft lighting.

I Love this photo, but agree with Edwin a little more contrast would give even greater impact - Then it would be 3TU ! THe pose and cropping are just right. K

Coud be a good photo, but too small to appraise. Also it has slight tilt to the left which spoils it. A good first try . Welcome to photoSig- I find participating makes me think! Enjoy, Ken.

A Good subject. Just a tad too symmetrical for me. As this is a 'reflection' I would prefer a little less sky and this would take the horizon off the centre of the picture rather than cutting it in half. Maybe a little more saturation and contrast would improve, even more, K

Interesting colours. To me it just lacks a focal point and seems slightly over sharpened. An unusual view of the neighbourhood . K

Very attractive with the subjects colour helping to make them stand out. The composition, exposure, sharpness and dof all spot on. A pity there is not a little more light on the people, and just a bit less on the background to their left.

I quite like this, but the lighting is a bit flat and I think a little underexposed. If the viewpoint had been a little more to the right to take the bird away from the branch behind it the impact would be more pleasing. Someimes we just have to accept what is available to us, and animals rarely do what we want them to !. Thanks for posting. K

I'm afraid i don't get the point in this. It is devoid of any interest to me and I guess many others .
