The limited DOF IS what makes portraits so effective. That is one of the great differences between a snapshot and profesional portrait. In addition, you composed the kitty diagonally which adds another nice change to an already very common type of shot. Very nice indeed!

A nice colorful and sharp image Lucas. It certainly does have a tropical feel to it. Perhaps the most important piece of a shot like this or most any wildlife close-ups (in my opinion) is the EYE. It simply must be sharp. In this case you are quite successful. You could dodge a few of the darker spots on this and make it just a bit brighter, such as around his beak and neck. Here is another crop that still works and almost gives you a completely different look. I like both actually. Either way, because you did such a nice job, there are many things you could do with this. Well done!

A beautiful setting, and a nice touch with the blue sky. The falls itself is over-exposed quite a bit in this case. I would also suggest trying a crop, taking out just some of the bottom foliage to focus more on the falls and sky. But the falls itself would be the greatest priority...there should always be at least some detail in the water. Otherwise, a very nice shot!

Hi Jorge, I like the idea behind this image. A simple image of moving water with the stationary rocks is almost always a winner. In this case, the white water is quite a bit blown out. What I mean by that is there is no detail, it is too bright in fact. I would also suggest a steadier hand if possible so that you do not have to sharpen so much. If you captured this with a tripod, and tried a longer exposure, you may be very pleasantly surprised!! Keep shooting.

Why don't you add some information Hayri?? People want to learn something while viewing all these photographs you keep posting.
I like the sky immensely here. The foreground water (taking up half the image) is a bit too much in my opinion. I think by cropping, you focus even more on that dramatic sky. Just my opinion. Still a nice capture!

He looks like a magician as well Elangs. I think you have captured him in a nice way, would just prefer a bit more detail in his costume....kind of real black here. Always nice to see your work!!

I recognize that wide angle lens working with this image. Beautifully composed in my opinion. I also like the contrast of colors with the blues and reds. I would simply suggest sharpening this with unsharp mask about 25-30 points. Nice capture!

I like the contrasts in colors with this. Also think you have composed this well. The polarizor in this case is not quite even which accounts for the darker blue patches. Once in a while this happens to me also, but simply do not really know why. A bit more sharpness in Photoshop would not hurt either. Still a Nice shot Danny!

Great tones, and certainly a thought provoking image. Makes you really wonder what the future holds for these younger ones. Very well seen and captured!! A slight crop would not hurt this, but still fine just as is.

This is an excellent portrait. Nery natural looking, no makeup, yet very clean and attractive. A great pose as well. I really like this approach....is quite a bit different than the normal portraits. Well done!

Very well composed, and excellent colors here. I just have to agree with many others that the girl really takes away from this scene. You are just drawn towards her. Cloning tool easily takes care of it. Otherwise outstanding!!

Please forgive me here. Yes the lighting is good and sharpness is also, but tell me, what is so beautiful about this image?? Honestly, have I missed something? The power lines and hanging clothes are certainly not appealing to the viewer are they? I respectfully suggest that all who give this high ratings and much praise, recognize that you are not helping the photgrapher any. Please do not take this personally Guelfo. I really just want to help you improve and not get generous ratings in return. In fact, I will not rate this at all.
All the best,
Vince

I think this is compositionally a very strong image, and I also love the glow of the horizon as well as the beauty of colors here. Yet, there is a very obvious concern that seems to be overlooked in the comments I have noticed.....the white-water has absolutely no detail in it. I have had this happen with Velvia on a very bright day, but am surprised with these type conditions. Is it perhaps with the scanner?? Some have a big problem picking up detail in the shadows and highlights. Otherwise very beautiful indeed!!

You have two parts to this in my opinion. The model is stunning, and you have indeed captured her perfectly. The soft focus works unbelievably well. Colors are superb as also. However, the other side to this is the background. To me, it just does not quite work like it should. The falls are actually too hot in spots (abover her arm is the most obvious) and the foliage is too dark, or barely discernable. Over-all, it is still excellent simply because of the way that you have captured this beautiful girl.

Hi Jim, the composition is excellent here! However, as you can tell the quality of the images is still poor in my opinion. Over-sharpened, yet still blurry. Interestng how video is getting closer though, but still a ways away. No offense at all mt fellow photographer, but for Hayri to praise this is absurd. The 7 ratings is evidence of some other "hidden" agendas. I will not even rate it. I cannot speak spanish so no idea what Luis said. I do appreciate what you are trying to accomplish however...just not there yet! All the best, Vince

While I love the lighting here Hayri, I am not so sure that the composition flows as well. Water is a nice touch, sky looks good and great colors as well. But I just do not quite see them working together harmoniously in this case. Still a very striking image!

So he thinks he is a cat does he?? You should have a heart to heart if you really love him, rather than feed this terrible sickness by shooting portraits of him in a tree!! Perhaps some stick in the water tricks might help....if it's not too late! Picture is nice by the way, if one can look past the obvious psychological issues here. How you been by the way Kim??

I like the silhouette of a man hard at work in a beautiful setting. The colors, especially in the foreground are excellent. I would just suggest making it just a bit little darker here, to really give this a bit more mood or ambiance...especially in the sky. The birds are a great touch. Very nice!

Nice reflection of the sky here. Might not be a bad idea to clone out some of the poles.
Sorry about deleting your comment on my flower shot. I did not like the border color after loading. Thanks anyway.
