at St. Mary's lake in Maryland. Any comments/critiques?

It's hard to be a bad photographer when all you really have to do is pay attention.

1. Nice time of year around here, eh?

2. Beautiful

I love the crop on the first one with all of the sky, although I would like to see a teeny bit moor of the lake. Not much, just a tad.

3. Very beautiful work. i like

the second one especially, so much color and action with the clouds and the sky, yet so orderly.
And my other favorite is the last one.
Great color, and the shadows make it special.

4. The fourth one caught my eye because the colors were so true.

5. Nice!

Love the 2nd one. The last one intrigues me.

6. Well done...

But I agree on the first one. A bit more of the lake would be nice.

And the fifth one. Straighten out the horizon. I always seem to notice that kind of stuff!

7. Love them and they all look

great. Though have to agree with Matt on wanting a bit more water in the first one and leveling/straightening the horizon line on the next to last one. Water always levels itself so it is more modifiable when lakes, bays, etc are tilted even just a little bit. Second one is my favorite though. Love the POV and the colors. You had beautiful skies which can be rare this time of year. We've been lucky weather wise. Liking that log the more I look at it too.


One major correction, yes Maryland has some beautiful scenery, specially this time of year but you do have at least an eye to really see and knowledge of your equipment to catch that beauty. Don't short yourself, good photos don't take themselves. :)

9. My critique

Love the sky in the first one and I agree that there should be more water - or no water, just the sliver of the landscape could be worth playing around with.

The second one doesn't need any changes IMHO.

The 3rd on has an interesting depth of field. You could play around with the cropping. The very bright spot on the top draws the eye away from the subject of the photo.

The 5th one I agree needs to have the horizon straightened. The color is very rich. Maybe play around with the cropping and decide if you like it better with or with out the branches on the left.

The last one is perfect IMHO.
