This is another one I struggle to find anything wrong with. I love that the waterfall looks like cotton balls, and i love that the greenery is crisp and clear. I love everything about this photo.

Here's a photos i took for my last review here.

I love the back lighting. Very romantic. It's just a tad too dark for my taste, probably because of the shadow on the far right.

Aha! I wondered how you did that. Very ingenious!

Strange. Not only is it not appearing for me, but it's now not appearing in my Flickr account.

This is an incredible photo.

If I had to suggest an improvement, ... more
Probably not. Those blossoms (an exotic species called colloquially "Stinky Bob") are around for most of the year.

Ooh pretty! The water looks like fluffy white cloud. The composition with the green in the upper right and lower left is fabulous. However, that stick or log or whatever sort of ruins the illusion of soft white fluffiness.

Yeah i'm not really sure what that was :/ It was either part of the light or the scarf.

Thanks for input guys! I'll try on fixing that dark spot.


Nice pics Vaccinium!
Can't say anything bad Maybe in the first photo you can show more of the shot i feel like i'm seeing a very small area, but what i do see is beautiful and lush, i wish i could see more.

Another pretty one. But for some reason I think I would like it better if it were flipped horizontally. I apparently prefer things that fall from upper right to lower left rather than vice versa. The way it is just looks somehow wrong to me. It makes me think the water is running backwards. Yes. I'm weird.

So annoyed!!!
I tried for over an hour last night to log in so I could be in this meeting and EF wouldn't let me. I typed in the right password and everything and it would just refresh the page and still not have me logged in. You can't even submit a customer service thing without being logged in. Anyway, I read through everything and it was really interesting, definitely going to try some stuff when I get a new tripod. Thanks Vaccinium!

Looks like a pair of figure skaters to me with the whole exposure encompassing a lift of the female skater.

And that is a great photo, allinonekid.

Sorry you missed the meeting KinkyKrissy. Hopefully you'll be able to get something out of the meeting even though you couldn't attend.

Not skaters at all. Just me standing there swinging a strand of christmas lights around me. I then just doubled the image, flipped it, and merged the layers to get the extra lines

Nice work! It STILL looked like a skater twirling with a lantern.
