Your main page looks great. Well-designed with attractive photographs. The music doesn't quite seem to fit your style, but that could be my impression alone.


I went through three of your galleries. In the landscapes in particular, a lot of the shots lack a specific point of interest, an anchor to pull the eyes in and generate some excitement. Also, a lot of times I'm either not sure what you're focusing on or why you focused on what you did.

You do have some nice black and whites. The last one, with the rock cairn, is a good example of the type of image you should shoot/post more often; it has a strong point of interest with a pleasing, non-distracting background and good focusing, DOF and contrast.

I think some of the photographs could be a lot better with some slightly different editing. Such as the B&W #16; it is an enjoyable scene, but there is a piece of something (your car?) in the lower right. Once I saw it, it wouldn't go away, but it could be removed in less than 30 seconds with a swipe of the clone brush. As another example, the B&W #6 needed less editing. You did such a strong vignette, I feel like the image is being smothered. If you lighten up on the effect a bit the vignette would appear more natural, and you would preserve some of the textures in the trees at the top as opposed to having a black mass there.

Thank you for your detailed and specific critique! I have definitely taken them into account and have edited the object out of the corner of black & white #16.
