    well i have been off and on with photography for quite some time now. i have alot of old photos and alot of newer ones. being in colorado there is always plenty of beautiful scenery to photograph. i have alot so some constructive criticism would be great. i know Norg is a big photography dude.

    I love your subject matter.

    Are you editing the photography at all, ie: contrast, brightness?

    The last image is my favorite among the group.

    First off, I think these are fantastic. I'm no photographer, but I'm an artist. Here's my favorites, and what you could have done better.

    Picture 2
    I like the subject matter, but if you had a had a lower POV you would have more balance, and less white space in the bottom.

    Perfect.

    Picture 6
    Had you been able to get about 10 feet(?) closer, This would be perfect.

    Perfect. Balance is awesome, Variation is awesome.

    thank you! there is absolutely no editing on any of these. that particular picture with the boat in the lake was actually at a trail head of a mountain bike trail i rode on near breckenridge.
