J1 Good composition, central sharpness is good, but falls off towards the edges. Tone down the yellows on the right side of image - it overpowers the rest. The top right corner could be cropped off - it takes the viewers eyes away from main subject.

J1 Fun capture. The dog almost blends in with the rocks - needs brightening as does the man#039;s skin. The rocks in the background could be toned down so the main subject is more visible. Also make sure the focus is in the man's face and on the dog. The background appears sharper than the main subject.

Creekside Serenity 7 7 7 21 John King Pictorial Gold
J3 Very pleasant scene made interesting with the longer shutter speed. Good color rendition with the gold and silver tones reflected on the water. The three foreground rocks provide a nice entry to the image.

The lighting is uneven through the image, very dark on the bottom to very bright about 2/3 into it. Suggest lightening the foreground amp; mid ground left, and darkening down the brightest areas. This can be done in CS with a New Layer (soft brush set to white to lightn) with flow at 4/5 .

Juvenile Peregrine Falcon 8 8.5 9 25.5 TC DP Pat Wintemute Pictorial Master
J2 Wonderful Urban Nature story and the direct gaze of the falcon adds further impact and connects to the viewer. Suggest further tightening the crop (while keeping the crop ratio the same) to further bring attention to the subject and also help reduce some of the HoM background. Check the chest feathers, looks soft compared to the ones in front and behind. Odd that they#039;re out of focus (could be motion blue from the wind or ruffling) A bit of selective sharpening on the feathers would help details

Lake View 6 5.5 6.5 18 James Hamilton Pictorial Gold
J2 The composition works well for this image along with the framing from top right. A few technical issues bring the score down: Horizon needs to be straightened, White bar on left and top of frame is distracting, Halo along the top of the treeline. The main issue is also the image has severe artifacts noticeable in the water and sky which degrade the quality. Overall tone is also muted which goes against the expectation of the sunset. Suspect issues are from overprocessing an underexposed image

J1 Evokes serene feeling. Her pose is natural and peaceful. Work with your composition, leaving more space in front of her, instead behind her. Select less distracting foreground (right side esp.) Shoot slightly from above with water behind her and crop below the horizon. Also lighten her skin (her hands are very dark).

J2 The monochrome treatment works well to show off the details in the building. Good sharpness throught. The composition is a bit tight and lacks any breathing room. The image needs to be straightened and also corrected for verticals since it is an architectural subject. There are some odd halos/white keylines along the edges of the flagpoles, roof and upper features that are distracting and should be corrected.

Tree On Galiano 7 6.5 6.5 20 Janet McNally Pictorial Gold
J2 Nice base tonal range for the BW. Composition works well to guide the eye around the image. The soft lighting leads to a rather flat image. This could work to your advantage to pull up the shadows a bit more. There is some interest in the sky as well that could use some contrast boost to bring up the cloud detail. Try following it up with some selective tonal contrast in the land portion to further accentuate the details in the rocks.

J1 The eagle is shot quite well. Beautiful position of wings. Sharp eyes and feathers. Exposure spot on. However your background is where your work needs to go. The tall tree behind the bird is half blurry half super sharp and quite distracting from his majestic pose. Everything to the left (behind) the eagle should be blurred.

J3 Well composed and lighted image of the owl. Eyes are acceptably sharp. Owl is at camera level and therefore impact is good.
This is a very good documentary image with the background made non obtrusive. It is cropped very tightly; assume for impact. The subject could benefit from more space on right side of frame.

J3 Good light, color and gesture (from turtles) with the image. Focus and exposure on the turtles is excellent.
The image is made more complex because of the water reflection of the log and turtles. To make it more simple, a suggestion is to reduce the space above the turtles; not reflection. An alternative could be to try a crop that removes the reflection altogether.
The object on the left side of reflection (bird) is a distraction.
