did u do a digital zoom here ? seems better if there is not so many grains :) or make it a better grain if you want (imho)

i like how u use the movement and blur....

You've given these sunflowers a lot of character Nick, looks they're posing for an album cover. Rock on! ;-)

Nick,

One of my favorite shots on this site - well done!

Best,
Jon

i really like this pic i love the b&w.... the sun cast a great light

Love it!

The perspective is awesome & love that light.

Absolutely STUNNING.

Bravo~

little more red will make it better and if you just delete the 2 lines at the top right, it will be better (but it's only my 2 cents )

Nice abstract - good color choices and nice light. Good job!

Best,
Jon

it's a nice abstract picture and it fits to the topics but it's perhaps a little too "abstract" for me i would prefer it with a little more details

ple >>> A kind like all those parallel lines...

jvgphoto >>> Thanks

photoaholic >>> The idea was not to have little details and have this sort of macro long exposure shot.

I love the lines and the contrasting color. Very nice!

Love the colors.

ditto, and the composition.

@lolly : what does "ditto" means !?
Thanks for the feed-backs !

KidJim: 'ditto' means 'the same as...', so I am saying I agree with what jordanabanana has said,and then added my own little bit as well!

me too....ditto...

Yep - a dangerous game therapy ;-))

Now that's funny!

hehe.. remember this from WS.. funny!!

:)

o my God !!!! hahaha

Doesn't get much better than this! This is magic! You have cast a wonderful spell with this one. Beautiful work.

Best,
Jon

Fantastic. Love the light and the colors. What a great sky also.

What a rush to be in the right place at the right time. This light is every photog's dream. This almost looks like a painting. Very nice. Is this a collapsed building?

@Kerri : it is not a collapse building its a Landmark, please read : ww2panorama.org/panoramas/stuttgart

striking.not much to add.

I like the tones and the small waves. However, I'm not convinced by the composition. The two white snow sections, top and bottom, are useful to make a frame and show the winter, but they are too important.

I would have prefered a "landscape" orientation. It would have removed a part of the top, that actually does not contribute to the picture. It would have given room on the left, to amplify the movement.

I really like this and think the framing works if you crop a little more of the top. Great possibilities with this one, I think. Love the water and the designs which the ducks have created in it. -jon

Thanks to you both for the input!

in my eyes it looks like a pattern of lines. The contrast in water is beautiful but not in the snow area. Maybe you can crop it on top and bottom an leave the eyes concentrated on ducks.

i agree with the crop idea, i think it would be better with little less top (but that's just my opinion)
otherwise it's a good shot

an impressive mountain and captured very well. It comes out like an old postcard, I am not sure if I like that. I would prefer more tonal width in the greys and more details in the forest. But perhaps this is only my personal taste :-)

good picture but in my humble opinion, this pic lack a bit of detail in the forest and also the texture from the cloud if you wanna make it "perfect"

I like very much - the composition is very strong - light is gorgeous and your use of space is just right! Thanks for sharing. Btw, Ple's comments are very applicable.

Best,
Jon

i like this picture and it is obviously perfect for the topics but i agree with austriaka, i'd like to have a little more details

Nice toning; nice composition.

Thanks for the comments.

I think the failure from this image is that i put the sharp area a little bit to low, and i don't have a line that lead into this crack :)

The other problem that i faced is in this Black and white version it is not easy to make it saw like ice rather than mud :( it is a lack of experience on me.

Sorry about my bad English. Since i moved to Germany and have to speak in Germany it is difficult for me to start again talking and typing in English

ple,

Great attempt.
I have viewed this photo a few times now.
As everyone else says, you have something here, just refine it a bit.
Lack of experience can only be overcome by attempts and failed attempts.
Keep shooting.
Looking forward to more of this type!

technically it's very interesting but i don't understand exactly what i see so it's difficult to say if it fits or not to the topics and if i like it or not

reynertz, it's okay, i made this pic mostly based on technical thing, because i just learnt something from internet :), but i miss the "mood" thing. thank you for your appreciation

This would have been interesting on a horizontal level too. I like the concept. I agree that it's too tall.
