Thank you for looking!!!

Number one is solid. Needs more contrast though.


I like number three a lot.

:thumbsup: on No1. The uneven lightting of the backgropund is a bit distracting. No3 is a classic in all respects.

1) Love this. Yes, needs contrast, and to pul the levels out to occupy the entire white/black range.

2) Lighting is successful, but the playscape is distracting. Could you have put him in that gap and used the brown thing to frame him?

3) Not doing much for me from this vantage point. I don't care for the cars and building; I find them competing for attention with the bridge.

4) I love the fence, flowers, and shrubs. The palm trees don't work for me, and I'm not sure about the windmill in this context.

5) I like. Successful to my eye.

6) Pretty.

7) I've seen this same grape orchard and church in Northern Italy :-) I think it would have been stronger taken from perhaps 20 feet to your left. Get that tower in front of the lower portion of the mountains, rather than the center of the image. And crop out the dirt at the bottom; it doesn't add to the image.

As always, for me.

28 and 33 are nice. Agree with what gary says.

#3 Needs to be cropped square.

#4 Could be sweet as a B&W study (reshot as IR even better).

Late to the thread . . .but what the hey...

28. The missing digits/fingers on the hands is creepy. I know they are there ...just looks odd/creepy to me. Not sure how to resolve it.

36. What gary said . . .too busy.

30. My favorite. Love the colors of the flowers/blooms and the diagonal flow up and to the right...

#1 is the best of the bunch. Setting the white point may help it. Burn down left side. It's too bright and draws attention away. Bump the contrast a smidge.

The Golden Gate image works much better in pano. Crop out the lower third. It becomes a much stronger image.

The two boys together works very well. Just wish the bottom wasn't cropped so much. Very nice otherwise. You could burn in the outer edges to center the attention.
