Critiques

This is a gorgeous shot, a very nice inside look at Marrakech and different from typical shots. Nice lighting. Only a very minor critique, but I would burn in the floor just a bit. It's not blown out so it would respond well to some PS darkening.

Wow, you got a great view of this monastery. This is one of the better photos of Meteora I've seen. Great expansive view, good colors, DOF, and sharpness.

HA! Quite clever and subtly sensual. One of the more creative photos I've seen in a while. Good eye, as well as a good sense of humor.

Nice tranquil scene. Unlike many landscape shots, this one includes interesting and evocative elements of infrastructure. The restaurant patio in the foreground might easily be a distraction in a photo that wasn't as well composed as this, but here it really gives the photo that sense of place and puts the viewer right in one of those chairs sipping a glass of wine, feeling the ocean breeze, and smelling the salt water. Great effect!

I have to say, the ole looking up/down a repeating staircase is not the most unique shot. However, this one happens to be fairly characteristic and you've taken it with a nice perspective.

I do agree with others about the choice of composition though. It's a shame you've got so much excess at the bottom when the other side of the staircase is out of the frame.

Very tranquil scene. It really conveys the sensation of being there and feeling what life is like in this Siberian island town. You capture the mood well. Love the muted colors and the clarity.

What a fascinating, rarely seen part of the world. Great color, clarity, and composition. This photo really puts you in the scene and has a great sense of place. Excellent note.

That's some amazing clear water. Nice scene.

Nice scene, but too bad there's not more of the surroundings included in the frame. I would like to see a little wider shot that gives a better 'sense of place'.

I've been a huge fan of your work since I first discovered it. Photos like this exemplify why. Millions of people have no doubt seen this scene, but never have I seen a photo of it that looks quite so impressive. Your exposure captures the radiant light as well as the dark black shadows of the terraces that carve a web through the fields. Excellent composition and what an eye. Great work!!
