For me a image in too halves.
It`s said don`t have even numbers in an image and to me this is a good example, my eye dosn`t know where to go .
This would make two really well taken images or with the addition of a 3rd object,maybe a sprig of herb ? would really make it sing.

Saying that its well taken,nice control of light,good refection and well worthy of a vote.

Nice ,but i`d lose the red

Good colour and interesting background.Nice sky
The foreground seems a little empty ,no real intrest and the fence tends to lead the eye into the 3rd and stops not to the center of the hills which is the main intrest point..

A winner

I would losea little sky off top --down to the lighter layer .IMHO the extra sky does nothing to enhance and the letterbox and gives more emphasis on the Jackel

A dream image for a judge to critique.
Good colour,lead in ,intrest,sky you`ve caught the lot.
The colour for the boat does seem a little over saturated imho ?

Its good to get depth of field right and this shows your mastering it.
The main subject being the cow parsley with the defused house across the lake.
I think if you had a lower view point and got ome more foreground in shot it would strengthen your shot.
I might even crop down from the top to lose the house as the 2 windows draw your eye to them and thats not the purpose of the image.
If you wanted the house in ty the differant approach of opening up your lens to F4 or lower , having the grass /parsley blurred and the house sharp

Hope this helps

Hi Annelly
You need a point of intrest in an image,maybe a single jet or spout coming out of the water.
The water is nicely captured,not to milky so you`ve got imho that part right.
Try bringing your f stop down ,you have it at f29 (really small hole with big depth of field)
If you brought it down to about f4 and found a point to focus on you would get a much more limited depth of field.
Keep your ISO as low as you can and match your shutter speed using the internal light meter.

Hope this helps

I love black and white images and Cornish ? Pump rooms.
I do feel theres a little to much of a lead in and the first flat rock is irritating.
IMHO try cropping up to a square format with path coming in from RHS

My take only

Hi Matty,
Nice colour in image, interesting main subject.

On a personal take ,i would lose a bit of the sky and the bottom i`d take up to just before the slowed down water .Maybe a square take

Would also work in B&W

Gets my vote.

Nicely composed seascape.
The thumbnail doesn`t give the light on the pebbles justice.
I might of tried to tone down the highlights in the cloud.

I normally like lots of sky ,however in this instance i`d crop out the pure blue till just above the spire.Also (sorry) i`d crop up to just below the pond/puddle as it dosn`t hold much intrest,

Other wise well taken and good colour.

Nicely composed and a good background wether its been adjusted after the shot or not.
The light has done you no favours though and the bird looks flat due to the lack of shadow within the feathers.
Worth a click for the composition alone.

Lovely,good light,pose.
Detail in dress is held well--to detriment of her hair?
You also have a slight halo at top of her head.

It might be worth cropping down a little to remove the lights,then a little burning in ,the highlights on the reflection on the floor?

Sorry to me its over cooked. The brown tones look like a its well under exposed properly with use of NG filters.
Try exposing for a mid point in the view finder using a single area focus point ( A point between the brightest and darkest areas of the shot )
Then re adjust the composition without changing your settings ......Hope this helps

Yellow is properly the hardest colour to replicate in camera and you`ve managed it perfectly.
Composition fit`s the text book but i feel the negitive space to the right does nothing for the image.
Try cropping in deep and increasing the exposue to bring in some more detail.
Hope this helps

Horizon needs adjusting a little.
A little foreground intrest maybe you could get flat on floor and use texture of pebbles i=f there wasn`t any stones ,driftwood `etc.
Lose a 3rd from top so you just get the top of the hill in shot on left.

Positives
Nice curves into shot ,leads eye from front along water front.
Good exposure,you`ve held the colours in the clouds well.

No 2 for me,the first is a bit of a snapshot.
The second is a lot more creative and works a lot better for it.

ISO 800 ? Although todays digitals don`t show much noise its always best to keep the ISO as low as possible unless trying to be creative.
f5.6 @ 1/320th sec ???


How about Iso 200 f11 @1/125th ???
Your not trying to throw out the background so f11 being mid ground and 1/125th would be enough to freeze the shot

Saying that you`ve exposed well theres no noise and no movment, just passing on what i `ve bee taught.
Nice portpholio a collection of nice uncomplicated well taken images.

Hope this helps

Nice image and you`ve captured the snow well.
Try one tree isolating the others or get in close to a snow swept trunk.
As it is your image works but there is no center of focus and no lead through.
Very good attempt keep posting

Nice texture and diagonals
Not sure on your choise of lens ? Try using something a bit less "wide" around 70-100mm . Find an actual point to focus on and use spot metering. Try differant stops to create differant versions 2.8 to start ,8 and a 16 ((Depending on lens ) Use the same point of focus on all and use a tripod.Use manual setting adusting exposure to math apeture.
Hope this helps
