Hi, Wojciech,

We are heading to Ireland next week, and I can't wait!

I like your shot, but the colors look a little muted and muddy. Take a look at my workshop on your photo, and let me know what you think.

Greetings From Atlanta,

Giorgio,

Beautiful capture well executed. The only suggestion I might have would be to crop out a little of the foliage intruding from the left side at the sky. I find it just a bit distracting from an excellent setting.

Michael,

This one has it all; dramatic lighting, perfect exposure, great composition with fluid curves that echo each other from the dune to the water, great sharpness.

Congratulations on this capture.

Hi, Giorgio,

I, too, love the photo, but I think perhaps the sky is a little overworked; the highlights in the clouds seemed to have blown out in places, and there is a somewhat unnatural glow in the sky above the trees. This critique comes from one who has a tendency to overdue my CS adjustments a bit much also, especially in the sky. Still, a very worthy photo!

Hi, Nelu,

I like the concept you have here, but to me the sky seems to come across a little muddy and unnatural, though the clouds are very dramatic. Also, I think that picking at one or two of the flowers and framing them closer to the lens as focal point with the generator in the back may have made a more compelling photo.

Keep the photos coming! I definitely enjoy seeing your work in my favorites email each day.

Caleb,

Your photos continue to be consistently execellent. Keep them coming; I look forward to their frequent appearance in my favorites email.

Asparuh,

This a really nice capture; good composition, and very atmospheric. I am very surprised you have had no comments on this.

We are planning to go to Morocco next year, so I will be keeping an eye on your gallery for inspiration!

Hi, Sandeep,

You've capture a great composition at a magic time of day. I personally think the photo could benefit from a little more detail and color balance. Take a look at my workshop and interpretation of your work, and tell me what you think.

Hi, Bartosz,

I like your setting a lot, but the colors and saturation look a little flat. I also think that getting a little closer to the rock formation and pushing it slightly off center would help the image. Please take a look at my workshop and tell me what you think!

Great photo, great composition. Normally, I love the out of focus backgrounds for portraits, but in this case the camel is such a fascinating backdrop, I think a little more detail would have been okay!

Regardless, a great capture.
