The water cycle

This image stood out to me right away. What is funny is that I thought I was looking at a person on a street corner, holding an umbrella. The more I looked at the photo I realized that it was in a car wash! I've photographed through windows before but never got anything this mysterious. This is very well done, it’s moody and absolutely beautiful. Sometimes you can find the most interesting photos come from the most unlikely of places.

This image looks very surreal, almost like a painting. The water is so still, and the reflection of the subtle clouds is dream-like. Such a cool scene and a beautiful destination! I really like the composition, where everything is included in the frame and there is nothing that is "cut off" on the edge. I like that you kept the processing to a minimum, too. It serves the image very well and helps make the subject and its colours shine.

I love the feel of this image. It's abstract and slightly surreal, yet still shows hints of civilization and buildings behind the glass. I also like your decision to convert it to (or photograph it in) black and white. The effect gives it a more timeless feel, as if this image could have been photographed decades ago. It makes me feel like I'm looking at a haunted house, or a spooky manor. Very well done, this is a beautiful photograph.

This is a really gorgeous landscape scene with so many elements, and it makes me want to jump on a plane and photograph it myself! Or, perhaps I would sit by the water and enjoy the subtle waterfalls. The fog really makes this image pop, too! It gives it a very eerie quality, and an extra added layer of depth. Any landscape image that invokes an emotion is a job very well done, and you have done that here. Excellent work!

There's something about photographing through a rainy glass window that I find to be very appealing. Most often this style of photograph is ornamental or abstract, but in this case it evokes a completely different emotion for me: fear. Or at least that's my first reaction. It's almost reminiscent of a thriller movie; the person is behind the glass, trying to escape or make a run for their life! The composition and crop are excellent, and this is a beautiful, moody, and emotion-provoking image.

I like the concept that you are working here. I've played around with these "picture in picture" compositions myself and always find them fun and they can be a unique way to tell a story. I would say that the one thing holding this image back is that it is over-processed. It looks like it has been sharpened, and has a slightly "crunchy" look to it. I think you are on the right track, it just needs a little more refinement.

The balance and symmetry of this is just perfect. The objects fade into the distance, then end perfectly with the final subject off-center, giving it a great "leading lines" quality. And I really like the black and white treatment and the way it starts out dark in the foreground and ends up lighter in the background. It gives the soft water a very ethereal look, and overall the image has an almost surreal quality. Really well done and an excellent photograph.

This is a very cool perspective! The balance is excellent, and the overhead view (I assume this was photographed from a drone, perhaps?) gives it a very graphical aesthetic. It definitely stands out and caught my eye right away. Even though the structure seems to be fixed, because it is angled in a triangle shape, it gives it the perception that it is a door that is opening. This is definitely one of the more unique images I have seen from this theme. Well done!

As a scuba diver and underwater photographer, I do like this photo and I applaud you on getting close to the turtle to photograph it. It's exciting to see this when you're in the water! The exposure is nice, and the colour is good. The composition is also not too bad, however there is one thing bugging me, and it's that the turtle's face is out of view. In most cases (and I say "most" because there are always exceptions) it's best to see the animal's eyes, or at least have them facing towards the camera.

The minimalistic quality of this photo is really pretty, I think that's why it caught my eye. That, and the colouring is beautiful. There are, however, a few things holding it back, which are mostly technical. First, the image looks slightly out of focus. It can be difficult to achieve focus with moving water, especially when there is no non-moving subject to focus on. You may want to try using a long exposure and blurring all of the water to see what kind of result you can achieve. Also, there are some sensor spots in the frame (the dark spots, mostly on the top-right and bottom-right of the frame). This can easily be fixed in post-processing, or you can have your sensor cleaned. Keep at it!

There is a lot about this photo that I like, particularly the colour of the fish and blue sky reflection, as well as the reflection of the tree branches. However the composition could be improved drastically by doing some cropping. The ripples at the top of the frame, along with the "breaking up" of the painterly-like water is distracting to me. I would encourage you to try cropping it more towards the lower portion of the frame to include only the fish, "painterly" water, and some of the tree branches.

I can see the result you are trying to achieve with this photo, and you are almost there! The framing is really interesting, how the building is upside-down in the water drop on the end of the branch. However there is one technical misstep that is holding it back, and that is that the branch and water drop are out of focus. This type of image would likely require a super-macro lens, and you may even want to get closer to the water drop to make the drop larger in the frame. But you're on the right track, keep it up!

The first thing I thought of when I saw this photo was "frog!" I'm not sure if it was intentional, but it made me laugh. Then, when I looked closer I noticed that the water droplet had magnified the globe on it. How cool! It's a very unique photo and an interesting composition. Well done!

One tip might be to try playing around with focus stacking to increase the depth of field in the photo. The plant loses a lot of detail because of the shallow depth of field, and using the focus stacking method might improve it.
