This is an amazing landscape I have not seen yet. The unfavorable light prevents this from being an astonishing image, although the composition is great. The sky looks a bit weird, did you work on it?

A nice picture with a cute and colorful subject in a great environment. It would have been nice to have the boy a bit off-center for a more dynamic composition. If it was me, I would have tried to isolate a bit more the boy from the background by using a shallower depth of field. The flash worked quite well but the boy's face isn't in focus.

Beautiful close-up, nicely composed and technically sound. The texture of the moss is very interesting and truly makes this shot. I agree with you that the fresh colors are pleasant and overall it is an eye pleasing image.

This is an absolutely gorgeous image, with good light emphasizing the texture of the sand dunes. Simple and strong, technically sound, great warm colors.

Pleasant portrait with a classic composition. It would have benefited from higher contrast and more precise focus, on the eyes and not on the chest. Your model does her job well. At f/30 you're probably loosing already sharpness because of hand shake.

Nice composition and excellent tonal range, which together with the great light makes this an awesome image. You sure got the most out of that camera!

Hey, I like this ne, is no less gruesome than the previous ones but has everything essential in the frame. I was honestly under the impression daggers like this only existed in cartoons. The lack of eye contact and the distracting shoulder strap on the right do diminish the appeal of the image somewhat, but in a journalistic image like this obviously not all elements are under the control of the photographer. It is interesting that the bleeding is rather limited.

Ouch, kids as young as this are allowed to enjoy the bloody show? Obviously, this portrait doesn't have the strong impact of the previous ones, but it is nicely composed and appealing in its own way. I bet this dad would love it, even if it could be a touch sharper. Great expressions.

Gorgeous mountain landscape leading to an appealing image, even if the light is unfortunate. I like the blue tint of the snow, although it might be a bit exaggerated in this image. The technical quality is good, with the exception of the burned out areas on the lower right side. I'd like to be there.

This image would be much nicer if it included the face of the woman, with eye contact. Without it, it is rather an unfortunate snapshot, strongly tilted to the right and presenting a lot of detail, but nothing really to look at. Sorry to be harsh.
