Excellent depth of field here. I love the color saturation and contrast.

Outstanding, perfect capture of the moment. The exposure on the water is dead on, and the way the girl is flailing the air, you can just tell she's laughing. I hope someday to take a picture this good !

I loved this shot the moment I saw it. Great capture of expression as well as the colors of the pool. I like the artistic effects you've added as well.

Great figure/ground here - I like your choice of foreground subjects. He commands attention as the teacher and has great presence within the frame. I particularly like the gleam on the weapon in his hand.
Not sure if it's my screen settings or not, but I'd like to see this image with maybe a little more contrast in the tones.
Overall a great editorial shot!

I really like this shot, the lighting and exposure are perfect for the mood of the sea. The way you have it composed in the frame gives the viewer a sense of its speed. Very nice.

I agree with Dierk, you have the right idea with a forground object and show good composition skills by positioning it so the angles lead your eye into the frame towards your main subject, the lights on the building. I think the problem here is not your choice of foreground subject, but its size. I think if I were to re-shoot this scene, I would stand a little more to the right and get up on top of a bench or a car or anything (assuming its possible at the location). That way you could show about half that much flower box in the frame, the lighted building would become the largest object in the frame and really have a commanding presence, and you could eliminate some of the sky which is currently a little overpowering as a negative space.
I think you've chosen the perfect time of day for this shot and the exposure is dead on. Good color saturation as well. If you have the opportunity to re-shoot, experiment! :-) I think a little composition adjustment would take this image from great to amazing!

I agree that the depth of field is excellent here. The subtle back lighting really makes those tiny hairs stand on end. There's such a mood to the curve and the color of the curled tendril. You can almost see it growing right before your eyes. Another variation for this shot might have been to shoot it an angle a little more horizontal than the one you have displayed here. Outstanding overall!

Great fall foliage, you could even dial up the hue/saturation in photoshop to make that read really pop! Great shot either way :-)

I really like this shot, the vignette really makes the tones pop. Could you tell me, did you shoot this originally black and white, or did you convert from color?

Very neat. Did you use any special lighting to get that blue glow on the wall behind the subject, or is it a digital darkroom trick?

Very slick digital retouching, you'd never know there were other people in the shot. That's a great thing for wedding photography, sometimes the moment is ALMOST perfect and it just needs a teeny little bit of help to look timeless. Good work.

This made me smile. Very clever. With that 17-35 lens I know you had to be right in that bird's face. You have a good eye for the small scenes of this world.

They're right, the tones are what does it. It has that liquid silver quality that is often so hard to find in a good print. The depth of field is perfect for the situation. Arnold would approve!

I really like this shot. I like that it's simple and the water hints at a bigger picture the viewer can't see. It reminds me of a drawing I saw once of a man riding an escalator in the ocean. I really enjoy it. Lots of advertising possibilities.
