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.
wolfesgamergirl
+ 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
