Hello Linda,
You have in fact captured a great image with this one. The serene feel to the lone cabin along the seashore is well captured.
Excellent work in PP.
Now go away down the road and leave us alone, we thought we picked out a quieter place where we would not be found...

L eanne,
You are such a bad girl! What does this have to do with Christmas, unless, you already opened your present and discovered a diamond necklace with your name on it.
The lighting is beautiful, as well as the colors of this shot. Well orchestrated...
Steve
Have A Great Day

Hello Jan,
I have to agree with everyone in that this is a beautiful photo of yourself with those Big Blue Eyes and those rosy cheeks from the cold of winter. Excellent pose and balance, and yes, the fire tooooo.
Have A Great Week...
Steve

Hello Jan,
I have decided to critique this image first as it stands out even more than your last image of the survival skills you have in making a fire in the Great Outdoors. (LoL)...Also an excellent image---
I am surprised that you did not have more points than what you had received with this beautiful image. The soft line of the flower accompanied with the different values of red, and then the stamen reaching out with those brilliant yellow blossoms make a very striking and powerful image.
I also like the framing very much as it places the emphasis on the flower and not the frame itself.
Beautiful work...
Steve

Hello Leanne,
The tones and hues in this image are beautiful. You have chosen well the composition and lighting.
Excellent work...

Hello Oana,
You have captured a magnificent winter's day along your lake. The colors of the trees and vegetation are very strong and the lighting diffused as is the light of the low sun during the winter. Very good balance in your capture. It appears like a great day for a walk along the water.
Have a Great Week...

Hello Alin Ma,
What I like the most of this image is the fact that the barrel is so old and one not seen often in any form, pictures, or in person. I wonder what the date of the barrel would have been on its inception into the monasteries use?
A little soft in focus, but without tripod and low lighting is a good image ...
Steve

Hello Oana,

This Church in Sibiu is absolutely beautiful with the paintings and colors that ordane the walls. Your photo is perfect, and without the sun's rays the scene would not have been the same. for what would there have been without light.
Beautiful capture...

"The Calling"

I find this image quite interesting as the greening landscape and the supernatural orange sky allows the Stag to call one's imagination into the awareness of a story not yet told.
A time where once stood a battle between good and evil.
A struggle between two forces of life and death.
A time where lines were crossed between two adamant forces in their beliefs, and upon these greening fields and beneath these branching trees they once stood heatedly and grossly engaged.
Today, here stands the Stag. Bugling for our awareness to their plight, as their memories are now eternally witnessed by their souls that are tethered taut to the arms of their cross' inherently reverent salvation...

Ron,
After you change the shadow's direction from the hooves and replace the grass below and alongside them you may want to sign this image and save it at the largest size, for instance, for a book cover.

Hello Biljana,
Your placement of this dog at the extreme right edge of the frame makes a stronger statement than if it were placed at one third of the frame. I like the image due this, and that the dog is really looking sad at the camera.
Excellent work,
Have a great Christmas...
Steve
