I love the DEEP blue, but I think the crop on the sides is a bit too tight.


Here's a close crop of a large marble globe at the community zoo in Lafayette, IN.


And the all too difficult "Up the Tree" shot.

The ‘up a tree’ shot really is a pain. I don’t think you’ve quite got away with it there, either. I like the enhanced contrast between the almost yellowish light leaves and the dark green leaves in the background, but the stem is—as always in these pictures—too dark and takes too much focus.

When I master the "Up the Tree" shot, then I will be a Jedi.

Much better. Removing the reflections improved it quite a bit. But you lost some of the deep blue up top and what is that "goo" in the upper corners?

Needs more lens flare.

More trees:

Goo is fixed now. Had a hell of a time getting this background right. Lots and lots of cloning, checking with treshold, more cloning and repairing, rinse and repeat.

I'll probably redo it from the original RAW 16-bit when I get home from work anyway. Worked of the JPEG for this one. And there was nothing to uncrop, so the extended background had to be faked.

I like it. More contrast and saturation would probably make it more interesting though. Perhaps a vignette

Good, but the angle feels like it should be steeper. Perhaps if you had moved a bit to the right. Out of focus foreground objects in the top right also distracts quite a bit.

OMG 1980's stock shot.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm sure there is much skill involved, just not my cup of tea.

I've never seen a revolver that tosses out brass like that. She's going to slip on that stuff for sure-probably poke herself with that letter opener too.

Sarcasm aside, it's not my cup of tea either, and you'll get a lot of feedback about the subject matter and maybe not much at all on composition, post-processing, etc.
