The photos of the day!

Amy777
+ I love the vivid colours, and the gradient from red to pink to orange (peeking through in the background) is very pleasing.
- I wish that the two tulips (center and bottom right) hadn't been cut off

I posted this a while back but didn't get any feed back -
 
Showtime
+ Interesting concept/adstract photo.
- The box repitition is very distracting and the sky has the feel of being placed there; like it's not a part of the photo.

 
Wolfsgamergirl
+ Beautiful picture, great composition and use of the thirds both with the tree and the wat on the bottom.
- Increase the contrast just slightly would make it just that much more striking.

Mine for today, I took this one a couple of years ago when every time I wanted to go on a hike, I headed out, hit an impassable hazard, took a picture of it, and turned around and went home. This was one of those hazards.

 
Amy777
+ I really like how you caught the waterfall in motion. Really pulls the eye though from top to bottom.
- The green grass in the upper left corner takes away a bit from the black and white of the water and rocks.

+ I'm a killer for pastel colours, and that was the first impression I got from your photo.
- There are a few distractions which we see too little of for it to seem part of the photo; the small pier, the reeds on the left, and the buildings on the far right are just too cut off. I think your crop may have been too severe.

Here's mine for today: (I took it when visiting a ghost town, known for its diamond trade, near the coast of Namibia)

 
Gaelen
+ I like the contrast between the orange walls and the white bath but, the simplicity, the almost sadness that is revealed of an abandoned piece of everyday life. I like it.
- the wall looks slightly skewed.

Mine for today.
 
Amy777
+ the light hitting the tops of the petals is beautiful, makes the colour pop
- the one tulip off the the right (in the midground?) is a bit distracting. if you could have positioned so that only the background tulips showed it would have showcased the front center tulip better

heres one of a baby possum at a rescue clinic i volunteer at practising her climbing skills:

+ The Possum looking directly at the camera helps to bring the focus to the subject.
- Perhaps try cropping a bit closer as after a while the eye tends to wander to the rest of the photo and forgets about the subject.

Here's mine...took a tip form Amy and was photographing the Tulips in the side garden of the house. :)
 
Wolfsgamergirl
+ I like that picture. beautiful colors, interesting point of view, taking us into the flower not what we normally see. Good job.
- The 'stem' in the middle is what your camera is focusing on, if you backed up just a little and pointed you camera over to one side you might be able to get more of the flower slightly sharper, but it is really a good picture.

mine for today. One of the few flowers that were actually blooming at the Tulip Festival this year. All the late snow caused some problems.
 
Amy777
+ The coloring works very well, and the lightness of the flower flows well with the green of the leaves.
- Some of the flower are cut off at the side edges. Perhaps a different crop might keep that from happening. And some of the petels start to blur out near the back.

Another random photo for today. :)

 
Wolfesgamergirl
+ I like the concept. Cutting off the plate works well and your eye slides around the photo easily
- Spoon and fork are both cut off and watch the focus - none of its completely crisp but the water (?) drops on the plate are more clear than the utensils.

Another abstract - the side pannels of a bus.

The silverware was never ment to be in focus, that was the point of that photo.

Showtime
+ Interesting abstract photo.
- It's a bit too busy, between the lines and blots of the bus and the scratches the eye doesn't know where to look or focus.

And another Tulip, just giving Amy a bit of help. :)

 
Wolfsgamergirl
+ Beautiful colors, I like that the center of the flower is off center, it really makes this picture more special.
- Watch that focus, all the flower looks slightly blurry to me, it could be the resolution. But really nice composition.

Mine for today. Thanks for the help Wolfgamergirl, I love the tulip pictures you are getting, keep them coming.

 
Wolfesgamergirl
+ As Amy said, good composition
- The subject is obvious but being out of focus the picture is rather flat.

Amy777
+ Love this. The composition is spot on and the detail and bokeh are perfect.
- I suppose the crop is a little tight, but it hardly takes away from the picture. Lovely.

I got a new SLR about a week back and took it to the zoo. My favourite from that day:
 
Showtime
+ Fantastic picture, I like how the bird is off centre and the bright colours of the bird are really eye catching. Well done.
- Maybe a little closer cropping of the bird, as the background can be a little distracting.

Here's mine:



A little self criticism, it looks a little blurry when viewed large.
