Nicely captured. What a remarkable subject. I like where you've positioned the subject in the frame, too. The details are amazing. The colors seem a bit yellow on my monitor, but could very well be accurate.

I love this composition, Aadiil. Using natural objects, in this case the doorframe, is a nice technique and works perfectly here. I would have been tempted to shot this portrait, but the landscape perspective is much more interesting. Well done on all the technical aspects.

An amazing place, Pau. Well captured here I like the perpective with the two staircases (is the "grand" one on the right, and the "regular" one on the left?). Amazing stich job here, too -- perfectly done.

Nicely seen and recorded, Luis. Noticing and recording that reflection really makes this image "pop".

Nicely recorded, Francisco. It's probably not the most interesting subject in the world (a restaurant), but you've done a great job with the technical aspect of angle, cropping, exposure, etc. to really "pretty this up." Well done!

Lovely shot, Paul. I like the partial "into the light" job here, which provides sparkles on the water and an interesting look. Nice "pattern shot" with the repition of the boats, too. All the technical stuff looks good. Nicely cropped in the exposure or the pp, too.

P.S. I used to love sailing Lasers in San Diego, especially on a windy day when they would get up on their "planing hull" and literally fly over the water.

Lovely pastoral shot, Pablo. I love those rich greens you get up there and recorded so nicely. The graveyard adds some estra interest to the shot, too. The hard part is where to crop on the bottom to avoid cut off headstones. You've done a good job, but I would suggest cropping a bit from the right to avoid the partial headstone on the bottom right.
Best,
Mike

Remarkable portrait, Pratim. The subject is wonderful. Good job with the exposure to bring out the detail in the glacier. Wonderful color in the sky, too. But I really like the composition. I like the diagonal of the glacier on the left (the one in the center is fine, too), with the rock on the bottom right "stopping" the viewer's eye. Well done.

What a cutey, Pablo. I like the way she's full frame, too. Dig that hair on those ears. Looks like she's made herself comfortable on your furniture, too.

Nicely done, Nikki. The mountains and castle really make this shot, of course. Those elemetns are really amazing. The FG is OK, adds some perspective, but doesn't really add much thematic value. Not what I could suggest, though. Maybe just hiking a half km on and doing a full zoom on the castle as MG and mountains as BG.
