Spectral lighting
A very nice image that we all try to get when we go there..I think you have done a great job here..
There a cable or something that needs a blend or clone tool used on it..
Centre top, from tower to top of image...

Winging in the Rain
V1 then V3 for me...I do like the rain and detail in the birds..
May be your photoshop skills are low but have a look at the staps on the bird.
Can you clone them out?
They do distract...
I like the detail in the face of the barn owl...
Have a look at some of my new photos...
I found a site that takes the staps off the birds when flying them...
This I think help to improve the bird.
Well taken looking forward to your new images...

Mira mis ojos
A great image..I think you got centr a focus point..
The nose is realy sharp and clear but the eyes are a little soft...
I do like the mono work...
You done very well...
Just rember focus in the eyes for animals.

first dragon
A great 1st time image..You got the basics now all you need to do is refine your skills...
More DOF and faster shutter speed will help...
That way you get more detail and wings frozen in time..
It this first slow down shoutter speed to gain little movement..
That a lot harder but get basic skills right bag the shot and then try advance images...
Great work...
Do not give up..
You are all most there...

Eudicella beetle
Love the colours..There a lot of light in image may be you could have gone to a higher F Stop.
That way you get more of the bug sharp and a bigger focal area at a shorter shorter shutter speed.
F stops at macro level have a very short focal length.
F16 would be only 1 cm more if you were lucky.
F8 is less than half that...
It looks like you have centre point on focus that why the boby very sharp and losing a little on head and legs...
Do not get me wrong..
It a great image...
It been taken very well...
More info I hope will help you improve on your work...
Well done...

common buzzard
I do like this image..There alot going for it..
The feathers are with detail and texture..
A great comp...
Very sharp...
One thing that might boost image a wee bit more is the sky...
A little more colour and bring out the clouds..
Then you have a winner...
Great work nice timing...

The Lighthouse
This is a great image..Love the colours...
The reflections are magical...
It very sharp and clear..
Great detail...
The lighthouse looks like it has a bend in it..
I can not work out iof the landside one bends..
The reflection that does turn in to centre of image.
If you are in photoshop turn on your grid.
This will help things to stay stright.
It will be hard to get right but I think free transform will help.
Great work...

Sand Geckos
As I not able to see the detail I am geussing that it is..I think a tighter crop would be nice...
I would cropall the shadow out so it just underneath there home ..
The top side is quite dull so a crop above Gecko then crop front right side where that shadow is..
That should balance image...
I hope you understand me..

The Water Taster
A great image...Love the water doplets..
Nice colours...
I found the eye a little hard to see..
May be use the dodge tool or sponge to lighten or add colour and pick out catch light in the eye..
This I hope will give you a conection between you and the swan...
Great work...

You looking at me? Punk?
A very nice macro...You need a very high F stop if you want all antena and eyes sharp..
The antena looks very sharp but eyes are a little soft..
A very hard image to get right..
See CarolG portfilo above as she has some magic images in macro...

Glamour Nude Photoshoot in Sussex, England, UK
She a great looking model..Nice pose..
I not sure about light over face a dark cast just on main features...
The right eye has what I think may be her nose shadow going in towards her eye...
Small things like this are easy mist at the time...
It when you get on PC check face to lighting and shadows..
I have not done much stuido work but these are things friends point out at my club...
Nice work..

Motel Fetish with Ruby True
A great image I agree about the table..She looks like a big doll...
There a second shadow on the wall behind her may be from a light in front the first shadow over the fire which I am happy with...
I like to feel I can see her eyes and I not sure I can conect with them...
Other wise I am happy with image..
Great work...

A wider image so you can crop as tight as you like best advice I can give...

There is a heavey out line over top of face and head...
This is a bit distracting...
Other wise great work...

Lancaster Canal
Great reflection..You might get a better image by going in tighter to the bridge and using the reflection as main focal point...
There not going on eather side so crop it out use the path as lead in...
Right hand side crop just after the tree...
Then balance top bottom of image to your eyes..
I think it a great image just like to make it stronger to view...

Floating Beetle
The lead in from the right side is very nice...You have the subject in right place..
You also have great DOF to keep image sharp and clear.
Nice colours and tones.
Even got texture...
You are eye to lens hight....
The only thing is I like to look at it face on...
It a small thing and and it very hard to do..
As you move and when you get in to right place they move it a pain...
You are realy good...
Keep up your high standards...
