Susanne, due to several reasons I have only a very few time now. Therefore I'm forced to give one comment on both of your recent posts.
They are both beautiful. The tranquil and relaxing atmosphere is splendid too!
Regards, Cornelius.

I assume you put this winner into the contest Susanne. It is as calm as a bottle of prozac.

Beautiful.

They are both excellent although I think the other shot is a wee bit better. Just the smallest of wee bits though! :o)

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Congratulations on placing in the contest. It must have been a REALLY hard decision for the judges. This is an outstanding photo with a wonderful moody tone. excellent composition and tone. Well done. anne =D

Critiquing art of any kind is utterly subjective. When I vote on your images, I look at several things. First, my initial gut reaction. Then, is it straight (if it should be); is the color correct or if intentionally saturated or desaturated, was it done properly and does it enhance the image; composition - if you intended a bulls-eye, unless it's an outstanding image that is really served by centering the subject, it'll get dinged; is the horizon dead center - again, unless there's an obvious reason that makes it a better photo, no points; is the subject interesting and uncluttered; is the image sharp; is the depth of field right for this composition, is there a catchlight in the creature's eye; would I hang this on my wall; is it an image I'd be proud to display; is it artistic or just a snapshot; does it move me; is there a message conveyed; is it documentary in nature and if so, does it tell the story in such a way it makes me want more. When I critique a photo in your gallery, I'm only suggesting what my subjective nature prefers. No need to defend your position if you like your image the way it is. If you give me constructive criticism on my pieces, I guarantee you I will take them to heart. I love to improve! Bring it on Caedians! Love, anne =D
