I haven't seen major redwoods since my teen years when we drove from Grants Pass across to Eureka. This is a nice shot.

Day 22: My Little Girl Goes to College

Nice capture indeed. I think the background of the hill emphasizes the "climb" she has ahead of her. Haven't experienced this yet, but oldest is 18 and graduates next spring, so it is coming (assuming of course that he doesn't decide to live at home, or drop out of life so he can play his music!)

I find the diagonal shadow on the bright wall at the left distracting. The subject is quite interesting, even if it is in shadow. It is still clearly visible and definitely attract and holds your attention.

Very interesting shot. It feels a bit too dark, but I'm not sure it would be better lighter.

A very nice shot. Wish the leaf didn't cover part of the butterfly.

Interesting juxtaposition between the two lions. Very nice shot.

Day 22 - Butterfly

Don't choose difficult subjects, do you? This is a nice picture. I like the grass springing from the bottom of the frame. Unfortunately, it looks like the butterfly is slightly OOF, and there isn't much contrast between the flower and the background. Couldn't you position the butterfly closer to the flower? ;-p

Day 21 - Bokeh

Very nice bokeh. The two leaves are too hot, and distract from the flower.

Excellent shot. And how fun it is color B & W. Hope you really enjoy your new camera. Left center is a bit hot, but still works within the shot.

Day 19 - 3x3

Comment:
Very nice contrast, and yes, the subject does work well in black & white. However, the center of your picture and focal point is where the leaves attach to the stem - virtually no interest. This makes the crop in the middle of the leaves also problematic. You might try a crop of this where it focuses on a single leaf. Your DOF on this shot leaves the leaves in the background blurry, but because they also have the strong pattern, they become a distraction rather than an asset.
