Nice one sir, even if staged. BC is beautiful but Kendra is more so. Nice clear image with great flares pointing to the main focal point.

Yes, this image has a really lovely glow to it and that soft vignette was exactly what the doctor ordered. Nice romantic entry.

A very sweet photo as we get caught up in his world. Did you know your image is quite blurred/not focused, you might want to sharpen and re-submit it.

Like the artistry behind this upload, well done. I would not have minded to see part of her breasts only because it looks like she's Demi Moore lying down and the pose looks too tight. Overall it is a rock solid entry.

This HDR touch is most appealing . I also like that you kept the road in the image showing us the downpour. The vibrancy of colours adds to the visual excitement.

Well, as I was putting my stuff up I noticed this one and just wanted to tell you that it looked like a painting, it is so beautiful in gray shades. What surprised me was that a gorgeous Canadian sight like this could look so good in monochrome...has to do something with the photographer, I'm sure

If you PS software try bringing down the highlights because you do have blow outs on the lights. I love the story here, the movement caught is really nice too adds to a dreamy feel. I wonder if you took this hand held as it is a tad soft...and I just looked in Hi res...there is a significant amount of noise in the upper L hand corner especially.

This photograph really makes me feel like I'm there. Love how you captured the blur of movement juxtaposed against the solidity of the buildings gives a really nice push pull on the eye. Your exposure rocks, there are not blow outs (so easy to do in night photography). Lovely, truly.

this image makes one fall in love with live and all it has to offer. A gentle photograph of a fragile little bird artistically posted with good eye catchment technique evident. This was not an easy photo to get with all that white snow yet you have no block ups on black, details clearly seen, I applaud your exposure control. To me it is a spiritual photograph and has touched me at my 6th sense. Lovely.

I bet this was grand in colour....looks grand in maroon too! You do have a prominent halo all around, that is a sign of overworking the image. This is well framed with good marginal space all around and the story telling effect is really nice.

Some serious bling there. Nice image and I particularly like the tone you chose for this...it is gently hued yet the jewel shines through. Good framing. Would be nice if that center stone was sharper, overall well done.

Engagement Ring

still26 says:

This bluish colour was used in old days by a famous Swedish photographer. I think it is an appropriate monotone for it stimulates and the excitement shown in the character marries well with blue. I love the expression caught and that says so much about the relationship betweeen photographer and subject and as far as relationship between me (the viewer) and subject, well, it makes me want to know him for I know he is a fun and fine gentleman. Your capture is well done with sharpness shown and good exposure especially on the white shirt, keeping the piano there adds to the story of fun fun fun. A bit of mystery also as I have no idea what he is holding...........and that is a good thing.

I have a bitch of a time with panning, this is really well done with sharpness on the car. At our photo club we have a Nat Geo photographer who did a shoot in Korea. He came back and shared his shots with us. There were many a photo tilted and looked grrrrrrreat. I do wish some photo members would remove their heads out from their rectal sphincter.
