I think everything is perfect in this image - the composure, the lighting, the exposure, and the feelings it invokes. Fantastic!

great cropping - works very well in b&w, especially with the moody sky behind.

Never mind the eyes, what about the skin? Did you use any kind of filter? If not, then I have to have this lady's secret. Her skin is so soft and flawless, it's amazing! A beautiful shot.

Beautiful sky, silhoutte, and reflection. I have one question - when you metered, what did you meter on? Or was it an educated guess?

I think this is a wonderful shot. I have to say that there's many comments here about its manipulation. I personally think that the ability to alter images in photoshop has good and bad points - it always leaves people wondering "did he, didn't he". If it has been altered, then maybe you could post the original because I have a feeling it would be wonderful anyway. Great shot!

I like this shot a lot. It captures the pure unadulterated joy of childhood and makes me want to be a kid again. I like it in black and white because I believe it draws you to their expressions without being distracted by a colorful background.

Good shot, nice colors. I'm seriously unsure about the choice of background color, although cannot suggest a better one - maybe the bright green brings out the yellows well?

Hmm... looks like a stack of buckets to me... Am I right? DO I win a prize?

Beautiful - are the blue tones natural, or has this image been altered at all? Looks surreal...

I love the jumbled look of squares piled on top of squares, and personally like the slightly off-kilt feel to the shot. For me, it sums up Morrocan type architecture - nothing's straight and there are no right angles! Nice shot...

That's cool - it looks so 3D. I'd try it but it's tough finding frost in Florida...

Would like to see the image in all black and white - I think the expression on his face is dramatic enough without the additional color. Do you have a b&w you can post?

I love the colors and would print out HUGE and put on my wall if I could. Where were you when you took this photo? It looks like you were somewhere above the clouds, unless that's part of the ps work that you did.

Not only do I want to be there, I want to be able to capture it just like this! Can't fault it - beautiful colors. Was this taken at sunset, or just after?

I did add a comment, but it seems to have got junked somehow, so I'll try again. I really like this - the light in the trees, the beautiful greens and the hay coming out of what I guess is the stable door. Makes me wonder if the horse bolted before Christmas was over. For me, no suggested improvements.

I'm not sure about this one - I love a lot of the other stuff that you've done but this one doesn't work for me. I really liked the thumbnail, but found the detailed view a little disappointing. I like the details of the rock at the bottom a lot, and also like the colors. But the water flowing over the rocks top right looks too fake for me - perhaps this was the intention? I also think it lacks movement in the upper left... Just my opinion, for what it's worth :-)

I'm with Andy on this one and don't have too much to add - the colors are great, the positioning in the frame is wonderful. I like a lot too.

I like this - looks like snowflakes to me. Can you enlighten us on what it is? Kind of looks like a tree painted silver to mebut I'm probably being a total dolt...

I like everything about this shot - it works very well in b&w (given the subject matter!) and I like the framing. Even though the subject is not center, the fact that the skeleton is only partially in the frame draws your eye to her. The girl in the upper right kind of balances out the shot, in my very humble opinion!

Thanks AJ and Petra - just checked out your pages and feel humbled, you've both posted awesome images. Thanks for stopping by and helping me out with my stuff. I had played around with this image a bit in photoshop as the original looked pretty soft. I had increased the saturation for yeloows and greens, and had also sharpened the image using the Unsharp Mask. The original image is attached - any comments on what went wrong, or what could be done to improve this image would be much appreciated. Tx

The thumbnail really caught my eye for the zig-zag effect, but I like it more for its commentary and what you saw when you took the photo. Nice one!

For me, it's too dark on the sides and doesn't show the depth perspective of the steps, although the dry portion of the steps helps. The figure at the bottom left is intriguing - guess they're sheltering from the rain and it captures that moment nicely.

Thanks Mark - it is rather more helpful when someone takes the time to comment :-) I'll try and work on that focus.

Thanks for the comments - the cropping definitely improves the look of the photograph.
