Wow. Well done, Brian. I probably would have done a long exposure of the sky, walked into the shot and fired a flash at myself, and walked out and closed the shutter. Your is better an more real, and definitely took more patience.

Nice use of that Sigma, Niek. As usual this is a great landscape and the lens helps pack in so much detail that the shot is rich. But what I really like about your composition is the use of fg, mg, and bg elements to really draw the viewers' eye into the scene toward the mountain. I might have tried to place that fg grass a bit further to the left to balance the mountain on the right, but there might have been some stuff in the way.

Very crisp details here Isabel. That really makes this image "snap" for me, and turn this from ordinary to great.
Mike

Nice detail shot, Sunil. Great subject. I like the off-center composition that makes for some informal balance between the door and the flowers. My only suggestion is that if feels just a bit "crowded" -- is there any way to get a little more space in the frame.
Mike

Nice architectural shot, Jolanta. Nice formal balanced composition. You weren't using a very small aperature, but there seems to be suffient DoF here. Well done.
Mike

Perfect, Atha. The story of the sunflower against the sky works wonderfully as a subject and a story.Perfect day for the shot, too, because the wonderful wispy clouds are great. Technically, this is a great job controlling the light and great use of depth-of-field, too.
Mike

Nicely seen and captured. The limited and coordinanted color palatte is the driving force between the shot. But the details are just off-center and incomplete enough to make the image compelling. Nicely done.
Mike

Perfect studio shot. Nice subject here, well composed and nice water details. The black background really makes the shot, though. Well done!
Mike

Wonderful landscape, Alireza. Well composed. Great job on the exposure, too, to leave the details in the clouds. A winner.
Mike

Well done, Rew. All the technical details are spot on. But I think the pose really let her relax, and provides the feeling for this shot. Well done!
