New Joiners - People #516

Wow, this striking shot artfully captures the waterfalls's scale and power. If I'm being a bit nit-picky, I would consider cropping the bush, which is intruding into the frame on the right side, or better still, positioning yourself differently when taking the image, likewise the figure at the very bottom. Otherwise, this is awesome. Good work.

What a lovely expression, beautifully captured. Capturing a genuine smile is a lot harder than most people think. However, the decisive moment has been skillfully captured here. The warm colour palette adds a lovely layer of wholesomeness. Good work, keep it up.

This is a technically challenging photograph to get right. It would be easy to 'ruin' the image and kill the vibe. However, clever skills have retained the night vibe while revealing just enough detail. The long-reaching shadows carefully lead the viewer into the frame.

This intriguing tableaux has an excellent sense of storytelling. The title suggests a connection with Alice in Wonderland, adding to the narrative element. The light and colour plate add to the mysterious fairytale vibe. This is lovely work. Keep it it up!

What a lovely portrait, rich with a sense of thoughtful contemplation. Using a shallow depth field was a good choice. The posting of focus is not critically sharp on the subject's eye, which convention might suggest it should be, but I don't think that matters, and it doesn't detract from this being a very good shot.

This is another fine image packed with narrative. In fact, multiple stories appear to be unfolding in this delightful scene. The beautiful lighting, colour palette, and handling of tones hold the image together exquisitely. This is lovely work. Well done.

I love the concept behind this nicely seen image. Initially, I found the rope in the foreground intrusive, but I think it works well on reflection, adding depth and context. There is an intriguing narrative that raises questions about art and culture. Good stuff!

This powerful portrait reveals a real sense of bonding between the horse and rider. The muted colour palette, subtle control of the tonality and the square crop all add a cool contemporary vibe to the image. Great stuff - keep it up!

What an intriguing image! I love the sense of story in this composition. It has a timeless quality. I cannot help referring to Magnum photographer Alec Soth's photograph titled "Charles, Vasa, Minnesota." who sees the main protagonist also holding a plane.

I love a good shadow selfie, and this is a great one—wonderful use of diagonal lines to draw the viewer into the image. The echoes of red bouncing around the frame add rhythm and cadence to the composition. I especially like the little detail of the surveillance camera sticker - top left, a lovely, playful note.

Excellent use of objects in the foreground to create a frame within the frame and add depth and context. The black-and-white tonality has been skillfully controlled and looks great. "The Coffee Guy" is a bit generic as a title, a more personal touch cold be nice. Good work.

The small, barely noticeable figure in the bottom right creates a fantastic sense of scale in the epic grandeur of this amazing landscape. The composition is confident and accomplished, and the moody, brooding skies have a wonderful sense of drama.

I love the cool blue hues and the delicate handling of the tones in this image; they work exceptionally well in adding to the narrative—the stark, minimalist composition with the figure in the centre, but looking out of the frame is thought-to provoking and evokes an otherworldliness.

This well-balanced composition oozes a quiet sense of contemplation. The dark, moody, monochromatic vibe works well and has been carefully handled. The riverscape through the boat's window is perfectly blurred, adding a sense of mystery to the narrative. Good work!

Wow, what a fantastic landscape! The mountain's central positioning and the loan Inka woman in the frame speak to its enormity and isolation. The bright red colours of the woman's fabric add excellent contrast and harmonise with the colour palette.
