Old Glouster Harbor

I like this photo. The soft focus and grain give it a film-like quality. Have you considered a square crop leaning a bit to the right from the middle? It appears that you were very eager to include the buoy on the left, but I think it takes away from what shoul dbe the focus of the picture: the house int he back.

I think simplify works well here and the left side of the house and the trees look very nice, but the boat does not feel like an important part of this picture.

I think this may be more interesting in black and white, maybe push the blacks up a bit.

Weathering the Storm

Something for me doesn't seem to hit with this photo. I think its an extremely compelling subject, and a nice composition. Lightning is hard! Especially so directed. I think maybe the lack of contrast is at the wrong part of the curve. I can see are going with not boosting the contrast, though. Did you try B/W?

I like the simple toned down unsat. processing here. I think the photo could be more effective with a tad more sharpness. Also, the dark monotone between the grass in the forground and the grass near the water takes away from the vastness that the angle and the clouds and the open space on the left create. Consider lighting them up a bit. Cheers.

Interesting take on the challenge... the colors and composition are wonderful. I imagine exposure must have been rather tough here with the different colors and reflectances of the objects, but you did a great job. Maybe lighten the shadows a bit, they take away from the sea of yellow feeling. Also, I would consider toning down the luminosity on all but the oars and the girl...she seems to blend too much into her background and the oars are already dark and moody. I would also love to have sen her face!
Do you have other shots from this series? It would be great to see them.
Cheers.

The Balcony (Tribute to P. Ramette)

So so cool. What is the structure that makes up the balcony? Wonderful treeline and color of the water is lovely.
If you try this again, consider getting the camera a little closer to the water, and tilting a bit more up. Great shot.
