Thanks so much for the good feedback. i tried a closer crop but i really wanted to keep the sailboat and the bird in the picture. the additional space definitely helped to give the clouds some sort of "movement"

great idea and composition! IMO i would have preferred if the model were turned more to hide her right eye from view (but thats getting nit picky i know). the soft light and skin tones are refreshing after seeing so much over-processed stuff these days

cool composition and tones. the microcontrast is great but the bits of sand in the upper part draw attention away from the shoes and crab legs.

Great bokeh and soft light on the model's face. the colors are great too. her forehead seems a bit too red for me though because of the reflection from the cloth

I love the black and white conversion you used. the contrast is great and the dark sky really brings focus to the house.

Wow! this is gorgeous. its incredible how you're able to add just the perfect amount of motion to your bird shots. it makes all other bird pics i see look like dead birds because theyre only ever sitting still 1% of the time. the background on this one is just gorgeous and complements the bird perfectly.

Great black and white tones. just enough contrast to add dimension to his face without overrunning the greys

this really lacks the edge that im used to in your photos i think thats why it caught me off guard so much. to me, the flattening effect of the HDR and the minor underexposure dont quite make this on on par with the rest of your photos. on the other hand the amount of color contrast makes it almost look like a painting.
