"This is an appealing environmental photo. The deer all looking at the photographer shows an interaction between photographer and the deer. That tends to put the viewer into the photo. The house in the background tend to diminish the mood of the scene. Lee house would would keep the image more in nature. "

"Your feedback reminds me of George Lazi MPA 3rd yr advanced photography class. Only George would say, "Who is the maker of this print?" Everyone would look around the room and watch as the maker put up their hand and then wait for George' s remark- "This is a garbage!" LOL~ thanks for triggering a fond memory.I always respected George for being straight up. Feedback is a gift. "

"The sweep of slow water flowing smoothly across the bottom of the frame sets the mood for this photo. Good visual flow lines from bushes to mill to trees. The bushes do block some view of the mill which makes the mill less dominant in the photo. Good for you to go out on what most everyone (even photographers) would likely consider a "no opportunity day" and interpret the setting effectively."

"BW is a good choice for this image. it adds a lot of drama. The sweep of murels takes the viewer all arond the center of interest which id the statue with the horse. Busy photos must be well organized to emphasise the main subject and you have done that well. "

"The first impact of the puch of colour and the dramatic respective draw my eye in and I want to feel good about the picture. It's the green roof, a distraction, not only the green against the reds but the house sort of appaears to be in the back of the truck, yet it is not. I think I would have cloned out he junk at teh back wheel on the truck that is touching the frame and masked a bit of the effect from the tires. Serious impact here with some distractions."

"The slight translucent appearance on portions of the apples intensifies the presence of "light" which is appealing to the viewer. The flow of lines creates a rather subdued triangle. Stronger visual lines would have more visual strength"

"Well seen, picking this bit of color out of what was an overwhelming expance. WIll have to agree on the tilted earth whowever it may be just that part of the world, I have never been there. The noise in this image is also a techncal distraction, I don;t know if it is from severe cropping, producing a small image, or high ISO due to lighting conditions, but more crispness would give the photo impact.

"Visually strong due to placement of three near the middle forming a triangle and the stems also form a triangle -- another repitition in the image. There are other triangles in this image. Look Closely Everyone. Nice dissimilar touch on the left side. Hey viewers, can you find it? "

"I love the textures in both the house and the sky. I agree fully with David's comments regarding the lawn and the branch. I might also be tempted to clone out the tree behind the house. This truly is a monochrome image done right."

"Black & White is an good treatment with all of the great tones and textures. I might suggest minimizing the trimmed lawn by cropping the bottom a bit, it seem s to be a little incongruous to the house, as well as cloning out the branches at the left upper border. "

"Colour and texture are wonderful, along with the strong shapes, circle and triangles. I would like to see less at the bottom, it is kind of boring compared to he top half, a polarizing filter and a bit of a crop at teh bottom would further enhance the great textures in the wheel."

"powerful image, with great tonal range. THe fence behind the trees subtelly strengthens the flow of the eye into the picture. I am curoous if this image has been texturized, in post processing. I would like to see this picture with the sharpness and clarity fo an Ansel Adams or Weston print where the texture was like you could touch the bark of eh trees and feel it. Strong composition. "

The fact that the first tree falls within the 'sweet spot' for the rule of thirds but yet the second tree seems to command more attention. It's very well balanced and indeed the negative space compliments the structure of the trees. Well seen, well captured Rosemarie."
