[mattaura]

Hey guys and gals, I'm looking for some critique/feedback on some of my photos. Always interested in hearing what others like or don't like so that I can improve. Thanks!

all are nice. Great color, focus, WB. Tack sharp focus in all as well. Good 'mix' of subject matter. Really liked #3. Well done!

#4 is beautiful.

like em.... except my personal view is that NO ONE should ever shoot a rainbow again...;)

Exceptional quality and to nit pick would seem petty. Carry on the good work.

Nice set.

#3 and #7 are particularly interesting to me as I am in the process of learning further image manipulation. Lens filter for #3 and HDR for #7? Would love to see original pics and like to know how you got there.

7&8 are really great..

Heinz one is really good

Looks like you have a knack for stock photography...

Very nice shots. I did think the horse didn't show to best advantage in the first shot. I'd recommend trying something like this crop.

Agree!

I really the sunflower and the motorcycle. The perspective of the motorcycle is great!

PP is done "just right" - color balance, sharpness, contrast...

Great job!

The cropped version of the horse is nice :)

While the original horse portrait, I agree, would be improved by different a different crop, I'm not crazy about the new one either. Horse portraits, like human portraits, should not be cropped at a joint. I don't like the crop at the knees. Just my opinion.

I am on a computer that I can't download the image on and manipulate. My version may not be any better. But I think if one cropped vertically just behind the withers and horizonally between the knees and shoulders it might work. This is going to leave the eyes in the 1/3 area.

Bottom line, I like the image!:) The snow really gives this portrait an emotion.
