Interesting scene, but there seems to be a little too much going on, and maybe a little too far away for my liking. Maybe a little closer to the people and the action and possibly isolating a few of them.

Welcome to the site. With this sort of shot, try to focus in on a more isolated subject as here there seems to be too much going on and it's overly busy. Try more attractive light such as sunset or sunrise. . .ish.

Well done for catching the bird in its natural environment, but for me, that large stump or trunk of the tree dominates the shot.

Lovely subject material and the exposure is nice, but for me, that front pillar has to be vertically correct and it isn't, sadly. Vertical geometry on the right half seems off too as its slanting to the right. Sorry to sound harsh.

Framing in general works very well, so I can see the appeal here, but it's what you have framed it with that takes something away from the shot for me. Not keen on the gate and fence.

Nice shot with lovely sky and detail in the clouds. Would have been tempted to stay wide but go a touch closer and maybe crop a touch off the bottom. Not sure on the white background and burning on the edges of the shot though.

Nice sharp macro with good detail and lovely fresh background. Only crit would be to crop some of the right and the brownish bud could be cloned out too.

I actually quite like the shallow dof as it forces attention on the shoe, but I feel it needs a wider view and maybe a slightly different angle. Nice colours and textures.

Nice attempt at getting some feeling into e shot, and the pose is pretty good, but the obscured foot, tight crop at the bottom and clutter in the background don't help for me.

Nice action shot with good timing and panning. Only advice would be to gateway little tiny bit more space at the bottom to move into and also to increase levels or exposure as the snow needs to be a little brighter.

interesitng location, but I think somewhere so interesting should be in colour. I'd be careful with the quality when processing as the sky has suffered somewhat. Main thing for me though is the guy being so central and looking out of the shot, away from where the river goes...

I think the falling rain/snow are interesting, but the snow is very underexposed. Maybe worth shooting again but with more exp and contrast. Not sure what the imprints are.

Hi Drbob. Seems like there are some strange cloning artefacts spoiling the shot here so it may be worth attending to those I think. Especially top right.

interesitng shot, Rick. But for me, it's all a little tight in the frame, and maybe would be better with more surrounding material or a wider composition.

I also like this, as it has some really interesting relfections and compositional elements, but for me, the processing on the sky lets it down a touch. Maybe would be better with some burning on the really bright road markings.
