I'd like to hear what you all think of these, be honest. I know that there are some points that could use work, but I'd like to hear each different opinion.

A nice collection. #1 would have more visual impact for me if the tree weren't quite so dead center. Beautiful image, a little cropping could fix that. Very stark and dramatic, my kinda shot! #2 - almost there; I want more texture in the boards to go with the shadows and angles...ALMOST there, but it's not quite grabbing me. #3 seems a little falt, but that could be my monitor, too, although I like the image. I like your swan: maybe a half stop or so off in exposure? Again, could be my monitor, but I'd like a little more detail in the beak. If it's there, it's just my old monitor telling lies. :wink:

Nice work, overall! #1 is my fave despite the composition.

mmm, number one is awesome. it even looks like the tree seperates the black and white from from the clouds! cool shot liquidflight! very cool.
Cheers!

1.I think if the tree in number one was off set to the left, inside the lighted area it would add a striking feeling to it imo.

2. A little more detail would be nice.

3. I like it.
