Roberto,

Lovely mood created with this image. I really like the intense red hue. It's a pity you can see where you joined the branches (I'm looking at the bottom of the one on the left). Still a very pleasing result.

Hi Koh,

Really nice image here. I agree with Linda that it would be nice if there were more such things around, it makes a better wall to look at than grey concrete.

I liek your use of composition, with the blurred background showing a part of the location where you shot it. The qualities needed for a technically good shot, colours, sharpness, exposure etc are all here too.

Well done,
Jako

Hi Iona,
Lovely lighting. The flower stands out very well from the background. Colours are nice and vibrant too. Nice idea with the ladybirds too ;p. The sharpness is also good and the water droplets add a nice touch.
Well done,
Jako

Hi Johan,
You have created a very eery mood here I think. I guess that's down to the I/R effect, perhaps some kind of diffuse glow too? I guess this is proof that you can have a good image without too much sharpness.
Well done,
Jako

Hi Micheal,

Impressive indeed. Well done for getting the true colours. I guess it can be hard getting decent shutter speeds without flash at these events but flash really spoils the atmosphere. Technically, I can't really criticise this. Composition is quite good, with the woman filling the frame. Perhaps a tad centered but I'm not sure. The colours are good as I said, and the focus is spot on.
All I would nit pick on is the text in the photo. It makes it seem as though you composed it poorly and cut her foot off at first sight. But maybe that's just me...
Very well done,
Jako

Hi Ioana,
The light here is very interesting, it seems quite strong, really bringing out details in the flower. Great colours on the petals too. And the water droplets just add that little bit extra.
Well done,
Jako

Hi Pedros,
Beautifully composed scene. The tree is placed well in the frame, you made it seem very lonely. The sky also looks very impressive, with a great colour. Colours throughout the rest of the shot are also very good.
Well done,
Jako

Hi Sue,
Great composition here. The b/w also gives it a very nice mood with the coloured part being a great focal point as you suggested. Good lines leading you up the stairs too.
Well done,
Jako

Hi Dan,

Nicely presented photos. I'd have to say I prefer the center one. B/W was a good choice, forcing us to concentrate more on the tones and shapes.
Well done,
Jako

Hi Elena,
A new PoV is always interesting to see. Great play with DoF in this shot, the blurred background really forces your attention on the girls face. B/W suits the mood too.
Well done,
Jako
