Good potential but not keen on the processing, and the halos around the castle and trees totally kill it for me.

5/10

Likes the composition and the exposure. Its an interesting pic. 8/10.

Kind of a candid one from my recent vacation, nothing special but I liked it and thought to share.

I Like the expression and the lightness of the subject's eyes, it really catches my attention. But there is something off about the background, on my screen it looks splotchy and not "smooth" out of focus blur. I find it enough to be distracting. I would also like to see a crop with a little less of the top and off the right. 8/10

A pair of young white lions - would have shared through flickr but it isn't working at the moment, so I had to resize a bit to attach :/

Beautiful image!! I know rules say I'm supposed to not criticize whoever did it for me but a bit of rule bending never hurt anyone! LOL! 10/10!

I agree with your opinions about my pic completely. Here is reworked version:

Composition is very nice, the DOF is pleasing, and the subjects are beautiful too. Only thing I would change would be a little more drama on their coats. I'll give you 9/10.

Went out for the first time in daylight with my 5D3 and the 70-200L IS II. Decided to catch the sunset with my cousin and take some nice shots of her.

Very nice - good light, depth of field and processing. Only slight issue is a bit too much empty space on the left I think

8/10

self portrait 3 by J_Q_H, on Flickr

Terrifying, haha. I like it, its grungy and gives off that horror/haloween feel. But the eyes are too distracting - are those digital eyes? Like the kind that move around because of a projection behind them? They just look too out of focus compared to the rest of the image. Is it a real person? Because it looks so real, but can't possibly be, know what I mean? great makeup if so. 8/10

Thanks, I'm flattered you're not sure it's real! It's me (all effects done in photoshop) - here's the original.

I love the running horse photo. I would give it an 8.5 to 9. I would just like to see a little more in front of the horse (giving him room to run).

Here's one I took of my neighbors last weekend. It was cold and snowy, but a good day for a walk : )

very nice! it makes you feel the "love" in it. also how cold it was, his hand hidden away in his sleeve. although, i feel that you could crop the lower half of the shot. 9/10

just an opinion to people posting HDR..... in PP, watch out for halos...especially edge of trees and buildings.

Set Take 2 by jeders, on Flickr

I like the composition on the food and how you've laid out the plates, along with the angle you shot. The steak is juicy and looks really tasty, +1 for steak. I do think the white balance seems off with a strong reddish hue throughout the photo. I also think the Fiji water bottle kind of stands out and doesn't fit with the other items. Finally a word of caution, I would have liked to see maybe a Killian's Red or a Stella Artois there, but that doesn't detract from the photo. 6.5/10

I'm pretty new to this whole thing, but I must say this is a really nice shot. 9/10 really like the color of the sky and the tree's silhouette is striking. The only thing I will say is the land itself is a little bland. This was probably intentional though, to set off that great sky! Also, maybe crop out a little bit of the bottom?
Here is something I've worked on recently.

The tilt shift effect is really awkward for this photo since it just seems strange that only part of the bench and foreground/background is out of focus.. it just detracts too much imo from the image. I would rather have liked to see thebackground start getting out of focus.

I do like the muted colors and The converging lines and composition are really nice.
