  1. These photographs are amazing. Your images are vibrant, rhythmic, and your perspective really draws the viewer right in. Nicely done. Jaime

  2. Nice shots all of them. I like the Australia Calls and the Bean Stalk. The bean stalk draws the eye in, up and out of the frame in a good way leaving the viewer with a sense of curiosity as to where it leads. Very clear, vibrant, and all the visuals of color and shape create very nice rhythms throughout all the images.

  3. All very good, the composition of "Arizona Fall Colors" is wonderful. Cropping gives great depth to the photo. One step forward or cropping out the yellow maple leafs in the top left of the photo would have changed this picture completely. There is just the right amount of blue sky along with the other vibrant colors to make this picture work perfectly. When looking at it, it almost appears to be 3D
