you really really oversaturated your blues. it shows up in places it shouldn't

[Mathallowell]

what areas are you seeing blue where it shouldn't be so i know what to look out for

He said he used a polarizing filter... that may be it.

On the guys shirt there is a blue tint

He said he used a polarizing filter... that may be it.

He added that after i commented in his original post.

1. I'd love this shot if there weren't any people in the background. They just seem to kinda ruin it.

2. Neat idea, just once again not liking the people.

3. Can't see the image.

4. Liking this. His face would be nice but overall not bad.

5. Nice, but the weird guy sitting there is kinda odd.

6. Nice.

7. Not liking the vignette.

I want to ride that park.

roll to lansing, you can get in on finals hype.

Your filter is certainly doing its job :)

Great wide angle shots.

[Mathallowell]

anymore criticisms or ideas for improvements?

I'm a fan of clean images like #3. I think that shot was well executed. The others aren't bad, but the background is a bit distracting. If you can somehow position yourself to get that background cleaner, you'll be golden.

#2 is creative, but it would have benefited from a more interesting foreground.

As a set, I would have liked to see more faces. In a few of the shots, the body language makes up for the lack of an expression, but seeing the face couldn't hurt.

Good job. I'm looking forward to seeing more images from you.

Loving #3. It's clean and colourful. Not that I don't like the others but the isolation of the subject matter makes it my favourite.

#3 is the best. I tried something like #2 a few weeks ago:

3 and 6 are hot. keep your backgrounds clean and the subject visible, and i think you've got it.

Imho these pictures are stunning! Great work mate!

Saw these on SP. I'm digging the framed-in-the-sky back disaster but that's about it, the others are just meh.
