OPA_027_AS THE CROW FLIES.jpg

HONOURS. Well done for capturing the crow as it took off from the building ,without it in flight the image would be nothing, Exposure, DOF and composition have all been well handled. Simple yet effective image in my opinion.

OPA_097_OBSOLETE.JPG

ACHIEVED. I love these old carts they make for such interesting subjects to photograph. I like the treatment used a light sepia look to me on my screen. The vignette in this case works but please be careful in using vignette’s in your images as they can distract from the main subject. DOF, Exposure and composition I feel have been well handled.

OPB_095_SIMPLY YELLOW.jpg

ACHIEVED. Simple yet effective, good colour tones throughout the image. Image to me appears to be sharp where it needs to be. As a suggestion cleaning up the spots on the petals of the flower would enhance the image. Well captured.

OPN_114_Benmore Ranges.jpeg

ACHIEVED. A B&W image of the Benmore range the cloud shadow help add depth and interest to this image. Overall the exposure, DOF and composition I feel have been well handled, good work.

OPA_080_Flour Dance.jpg

MERIT. Creative image with good tones in my opinion. Double exposure these can be done both in camera, if it has the technology or some post processing programs allow this to be done. Good pose, placement of the legs and arms. Exposure, DOF and composition I feel has been well handled.

OPN_122_UpperReachOfTheRees.JPG

ACHIEVED. A nice image of the upper reaches of the Rees river. Composition and DOF I believe to be well handled. This is an image that I feel would have gone to another level if you had used a graduated Neutral density filter as this I feel would have allowed you to keep detail in the clouds and detail in the mountains.

OPA_092_Chevy.jpg

ACHIEVED. Good eye contact with Chevy. The image in my opinion is sharp where it needs to be exposure has been well handled as has the composition. The image appears to be a desaturated, I say this as most of the tones are similar we do not have real blacks, remember when you desaturate an image you remove the RED and BLUE channels and that leaves GREEN, Green in Black and White only gives tones of Grey. I like Chevy he looks a good a lot of fun.

OPA-064-Mythic Tor.jpg

MERIT. Good use of aperture settings to get the sunburst in the hole of the rock. The white vignette as much as I am not a fan it adds to the creativity in this image. An image I feel would fit well on the wall of a café or restaurant somewhere.
