Something tells me that your portrait is lost in there somewhere even if it isn't.

Certainly seems to have a beakful there
I think you oversharpened this one - if you used USM thne try tuning the radius down - will get rid of those halos around the puffin.

Beautiful Felipe. Marred only by the small scar on the water bottom left. Taken juts around sunrise / sunset was it? Dark sky n very warm light.

Something sits wrong to my eyes here. Vertical composition, vertical lines - both making it feel VERY narrow. Then the dog making a horizontal beeline across the top. For me its too uncomforable to look at.

I actualyl find the sun a little distracing here, maybe its jus a bit too bright. BUT! those seductively subtle color transitions in the sky and reflected in the water. Simply sexy Felipe. The multitude of leading lines taking us off to the horizon work very well too.

That's quite lucky about the flowers Felipe. In winter here we have lots of ice n snow and the occaisional interesting bird (mostly ducks, crows and sparrows). Did you use the flash on this one?

Its an interesting macro abstract, but not one of your best Felipe. The simple diagonal composition works well, and the light is good, but if I were to make a shortlist of your memorable shots I don't think this would make the cut.
How is that macro lens btw? I've read that its a bargain for the quality you get as long as you dont mind not seeing nikkor all over it.

I was about to say some fill flash to light up her expression would have helped, then I noticed that you shot this with a 500mm prime. As it is, it's difficult to see her expression (other than hte smile) and te bag on the left is distracting.

Musialem sie troche zastanowic co to jest (pierwotnie wydawalo mi sie ze dach) - jest tu fajny efekt abstrakcji. Aczkolwiek kontrast pomiedzy sniegiem a niebem za plotem jest bardzo niski i trzeba sie dobrze przyjrzec zeby rozpoznac granice.

Why didn't you open up the aperture a bit more. You're fighting an uphill shallow DOF battle with the 5700s small sensor, and the chemical plant in the background is distracting. f/4 or 3.5 would have been better )and should be possible at that focal length). Shouldn't have cropped her hand at the bottom either. On a more personal note, I find the PS effects a little tacky, but thats just me.

The toning suits the feel here perfectly, sort of inferno like. The crop is perhaps a bit messy at the corners, but its hard to say what to leve in and out in a shot like this. Given you shot a T90 I take it this was scanned - I notice the blacks are a little washed out - was that intentional? If not I'd darken them back to get close to 0.

The composition is quite strong (though not sure about the inclusion of the wall on the right) but was it intentionally kept out of focus (I cant tell from your image if the chair is sharp or not). Ignoring that technical aspect, I really like this, some sort of blend between the loneliness of the corridor and hope in the form of light through the window.

Maybe a bit too saturated for the theme, but you used the fisheye to great effect to amplify the effect of soltitude.

Is it a chick or just a sparrow. Your timing has made it look like a chick just taking its first steps and flaps. Why not shoot higher ISO and hence push the DOF to get the whole bird in focus? (im guessing this wasn't a one off spur of the moment shot)

The yellow toning blurs the line between snow n sand, makes you look twice and think. As harry has said, it is maybe just a little too strong though - particularl in its effect on th color of the sky.

I havent seen the original but the 'drugs' work just fine here (thats coming from someone who is NOT a fan of mr saturation layer). Good placement though could be a bit more right. Nice n different from the usualy dandylion shot. DId you add the water with a sprayer or was it there?

Does look hevaenly indeed. But why oh why is the stairway to heaven behind steel bars???
Technically its a bit soft, though it looks likea scan quality issue and the horizontals could be lined up horizotnally.

Beautiful reflective piece. I love how it is difficult to tell where the reflection begins and reality ends. That sort of blurring always adds a bit extra to this sort of thing. Perfectly composed, the fence both leads the viewer in and out of the shot along a defining path that leads into and in fact is 'mirrored' by the tree line behind the pool. Well seen and simply awesome.
In places (dark areas of the trees) contrast seems a bit low, or a low black point anyway.
BTW on a sort of related topic do you find the sigma to overexpose consistently? I remember many declaring that on te forums with the d100, but at first did not think it to be true, but now am starting to think differently based on a few recent shots. im thinking -0.5 should cure it.
