I like the still life shots best. The eggs from Hungary are my favorite and increasing the saturation just a touch made them pop. I love landscapes, but I'm still working out the kinks on having sky and land that BOTH turn out. I love the colors and layers in the scape near Vernal, even if the shot didn't quite catch them. I tried to work with what wasn't a great shot and see what happened. In the Hibbard shot, I love the ball of sun being caught in the top of that tree. I played with exposure levels, but ended up loving the contrast. I need opinions... How do the rest of you feel about a blackened subject?
I like the angles on the first and third pictures. They aren't your normal angles. The second shot is really bright. I don't know if if would be good to create some contrast or not.
ReplyDeleteAll of these pictures are fantastic! On the first picture I really like how you captured the grass and the fence, but also the picture makes your eyes rise up to see the horizon. I personally love a blackened subject. I think it has a really appealing effect. I like it a lot. Your last two pictures have awesome angles. I like how you are looking down into the plant. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are spectacular. Way to go. i think the spiral plant one catches my eye the most. but i really like the red and blue hungarian eggs.I wish i had some helpful critiques but i dont. way good
ReplyDeleteI love the second picture of the sunset with the silhouette of the tree. That is an amazing shot! Great job
ReplyDeleteThe silhouette of the trees is simply amazing.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful photos! You're very talented. The Hibbard silhouette is definitely my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove them all. Like the sun bursting through the clouds and the tree branches. And the egg shot is way good. Its fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally digging the sunset picture with the tree. You did a great hob gettign the sillouette of the tree.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the shot of the tree with the sun in the background. The sky is amazing in that picture.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I enjoy the bamboo shot. It's creative and I like the angle of the shot.
All of your pictures are great! I really like the bambo one, it's very unique.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are all so nice! But I really love the second two of the plant and the beads. I love short depth of field photos!
