Choose one photo from each month of the year so far that is your favorite and post it here. Critique the previous person's photos. Mine are as follows:
I notice that nobody has taken up the invitation to critique the previous poster's work - no such inhibitions here. Mind you, I've got an easy lie :-)
@andycoleborn They all work fine for me; the standouts are February, June and July. February in particular leaps out - I'd dearly love to take a photograph as fine as that. It's beautiful and subverts the "rules" about blown highlights, which pleases me a great deal.
Over the last four and a half months I feel like I've been getting back into shape with my photography following a long lay off. Therefore, I really welcome criticism from whoever comes next.
@gareauk1 Your posting's show the essence of what 365 is all about. All very diverse showing you are trying a lot of different photography techniques. 1. lighting, 2. macro, 3. editing PP, 4. water drop shot, 5. use of selective color, 6. motion shot, 7. black and white.
The winner for me is your Feb. shot. The lighting is exquisite, it takes you right down that path, composition is fabulous, Great shot!
@automaticslim Since no one commented, I will go out on a limb here and say I really like your eye. Of the ones you posted, the standouts for me are June, the reflections are just incredible, and July, I love the composition and everything about this shot!
@sfeldphotos Sam, thank you for this look back across the months.
@rmkgreene Ruth, I see a lot of curved lines in your favorite shots. I like curved lines in photos. I see that you are trying different things and that is good. The August shot is quite a bit different than your other favorites. My favorite is your June shot, because it is so artistic.

I apologize for the large size of these shots. It is quite evident to me now that I need to learn how to resize photos before uploading them.
