Taken with my LG G3.

10/10

 

Color is great, subject(s) are great, etc (even the composition). That awkward moment when a smartphone picture is better than those from "real" cameras. Nicely done. 

 

This one is a bit personal, and honestly isn't that great of a picture (IMO), but I just moved from where the photo was taken (Oregon) to the base of those mountains (Washington state). I have explored a bit of Oregon, but cannot wait to explore those little hills over there (here...). The picture was taken during a hike at the beginning of the year, and just now I decided to process it and upload, as the meaning is great now - and no longer an attempt at getting some nice background shot of the branches.

The branches on the right are a bit too distracting.

I really like the constant lines through the picture made by all the entrances, kinda looks like it could be going on forever.  9/10

 

This is a quick picture I took of my monitor while being bored, been really rainy around here so getting out isn't much of an option.  Nikon D3200, 50mm f1.8 lens @ f2 ISO 400 I believe

3/10

Subject isn't interesting. Other than that, good job on technicality, DOF, etc.

 

Here's my picture:

 

Taken on East Anacapa, part of the Chanel Islands National Park, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacapa_Island

I know the image isn't 100% perfect. For example, the horizon line isn't perfectly level. But then again, you try taking an perfect picture in a boat that's bobbing up and down and swaying side to side. It was fairly gusty so, not the best. But the Islands are Beautiful! One of this things you must see in your life if you live in California.

9/10. i wish the boat wasn't part of the picture, but i know how hard that can be to do otherwise its a great picture.

 

Here's a pic i took recently with an old 40 year old minolta 58mm. Really like how it renders out of focus areas.

Bokeh!

 

I'll give it a solid 8/10.  I might crank the Ap closed a stop or two just to bring the rest of the camera in focus, but still blow out all the grass.   

 

Mine is about 10 years or so old.  I was at the Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, FL, armed with my Canon 1D Mk 2 (hot stuff at the time...), Canon's 2x teleconvertor, and their 70-200 IS lens.  This photo had me standing on a walkway that extended over a pond; the walkway was floating on said pond via barrels and/or pontoons.  Bear in mind: I was inside the tiger's enclosure with him (and his buddies), but they were all on the shore and I was walking on water.  Also note: tigers are aquatic...

 

I can't tell you the distance Shear Kahn was from me.  My elbows were planted solidly on the walkway's railing and I was standing as still as I possibly could.  What ruins the photo, of course, is the wire fence wrapped around the tree that Kahn is holding up.  And yes, he's holding that tree up... all 1/2 ton(!) of him.  He's a big kitty!

Chinatown Lights by Cyrill Bambilla, on Flickr

6/10, I get what you where going for but the composition just is not there. It also seems a tad over exposed. try lowering the shutter a bit and try and capture at a time when there are no cars stopping and going.

 

here's a pic i took back in December at a local cars and coffee.

7/10 I like the colors and am quite a sucker for industrial stuff. However, not sure about the context or what it is. So, a little uninteresting from a "telling a story" point of view.

I just moved to the north of this mountain, when I had previously lived west of it. It's a very different beast from this side, and I honestly think I'm going to like early morning hikes to get some sunrise.

Holy crap 10/10, its beautiful. Looks like it should be in National Geographic.

 

Here's my picture, its seagulls out on the sea. Nothing too interesting. Might be going on two hiking trips this weekend so i'll be able to grab some landscape photos soon.

Its from an different angle, but its the best one I have without the hull of my boat visible:

8/10 image is sharp. But composition is average which holds it back. Looks like a rock formation I once photographed off the coast of San blas Mexico.

One of my recent ones.

9/10, great sharp shot. It does seem a bit too tight of a shot though.

9.5/10

Very nice but there is something special missing.

 

Could be a part of a ship or something like that. 

[Worth]

8.5/10 - I wish the sky had a little more color to it; otherwise, it's very cool.

 

 

Edit: Sony A7R w/ Helios 44-2 - 1/200, ISO 400, F?

7/10. Face is a bit blurry,and I would prefer that lady would be in center.But other than that - its pretty good.

[Chase Haddleton]

7/10 Not bad, but it's not really the kind of place that I could look at for too long - it just doesn't look that interesting.

 

[Idefix]

6.5/10 Good Photo, nice composition, But I dont get the subject. To me, it is not that interesting

 

Attached is a photo of a paper tree. Nikon D80, B+W filter, I think.

Fair enough, it was a product photography shot, so the focus of it is was more on how the product itself looks.

Ahh. Then the shot makes sense.

[sleal]

6/10 i don't really get it (im sure it means something though) other than that maybe there's a bit too much white in the background which kind of makes it look less dramatic and there's less focus on the tree and pot. But on the other hand i kind of like how the red heart?  stands out. cool pic.

 

This is a bit plain but i thought it looked kinda cool (it's a road at night btw)

5/10, i get the effect you were going for but its just not something that really catches the eye.

 

Heres a pic from a cars and coffee last weekend.

8/10 - Really like how the fog or haze accentuates the red car. However, the colors look washed out a bit, which, if that was the effect you were going for, good job, you achieved that. But it doesnt really appeal to me.
