    Interesting thread...And really nice pictures everyone :)

    Ok, this is hard for me. I don't know anything about photography, tecnically speaking. But as in everything, I have a subjective opinion about the look of it. I do like to take photographs and I like even more to look at good photos :)

    + I really like the light and colouring, especially in the left side of the photo, and I also think the effect the white structures create along the path is really nice ;)
    - Because there's a variety of elements and views in the photo, my brain and my eyes are not really sure about where to look first and where to focus my attention.

    So, now my picture. I was just randomly shooting around my house...I look forward to have your opinion on it.

    + I really like the colors and the definetion that each piece has.
    - It's just a bit too busy. I keep bouncing from piece to piece not knowing where to focus first. Perhaps focusing on one small section might help.

    Here's mine for today, just an random photo from Thanksgiving.

    + The sunshine's really clear. Really good job on that!
    - The colours are a bit wiped out. Maybe a different White Balance could've helped.

    + The subjects aren't distracting, despite the fact there are so many.
    - The flash. You could've used a longer shutter time. Or a higher ISO-value.

    ^ How do I get a thumbnail link using Photobucket? Anyways, here's my picture. It's my cat, taken a couple of weeks ago.

    Thanks, I'm proud of it, but cause I usually suck at photography, it was just a quick shot with my camera. Hehe. I'm going to try and play around with it and see, if I can get any good shots around here.

    That is a fantastic shot of your cat Roosey. I love the way it's shot it black/white, I think it makes the shot.

    + I like the concept and how you got the rays to appear that they are touching the ground.
    - The colors are a bit muted, the grey cloud in the center doesn't appeal to the eye as much at the brither rays.

    Firstly it wasn't a flash that was the light from the window behind me. Secondly I don't have a $500 camera so ISO value doesn't exist on mine.

    + The black and white was a nice concept.
    - Focusing on the face would have been a better idea. It's hard for the eyes to travel all the way around the pic as lines are going different places.

    Here's mine for today. One of my friend was getting ready for the show and I was taking random pictures and somehow ended up with this gem.

    + I like the reflection, shadow, real image affect.
    - the subject is a little washed out

    Here is mine for today, I took this one a few years ago at a tulip festival near where I live. WolfsGamerGirl

    Acutally she's really just that pale, and it was w/o flash.

    + I like the way the colors pop from the darm background.
    - The flower in the upper left corner is a bit distracting. The odd vs even rule comes to mind. It's easier on the eyes to have an odd number to look at rather than even.

    WolfesGamerGirl I seem to always be posting after you. I like your pictures by the way.

    + I love the tree, the snow, I like how you can see the overcast sky, I can "See" the chill of the air. I like the composition.
    - (I really don't feel qualified to offer any negatives, I am not very good myself) but it kind of looks black and white, If there was more green on the tree, in between the snow. I think it would be even more striking.

    I took this picture when I took my sister, brother-in-law, and their baby to the zoo this Christmas. We were in the shark observation room and I got this picture.

    Guess a lot of people have stuff going on for the holidays. Or they don't have any pics to post at the moment.

    Amy777

    + I really like the compostion of your as well. There are an odd number of subjects in the photo and the placement works very well.
    - I don't know if it was your lens or the tank walls but it's very fuzzy around the people's faces. Also can't tell if you were focusing on the people or the sharks.

    I took this on my way to run errands one beautiful October day in good old 2007. Of course it took a while to get a good shot as people and cars kept getting in the way, but the wait was well worth it.
