I like how the peaches, because of the DOF, lead the eye along a fun track towards the back of the photo. Nice.

I would have liked more clarity in the corn closest to us, I think. Great ribbons of green.

The sharp stabs of color on the left and the intensity of your son's looking into the right side really give nice overall balance to the composition. The crop is just right.

Honestly, what I really like about this photo is the purple color against the green, and the way the water pools in the little "armpits"... I could probably capture what I like about it in another way.
I'll give that a shot in the next few days- it'll be a challenge!

The light is lovely, as you already know, but I also like that sand dune on the left side to provide some interest amidst the grasses. I might straighten it just a tad, but then I'm very strange about that sort of thing.

I always appreciate your particular eye and you always have trenchant things to say, as you did again.
Ironically, I find myself a little troubled with this for the same reason you were not entirely overwhelmed by mine -- a lack of anything specific to focus our eye upon. I suppose it's an interesting radial, but beyond that I'm not sure what to make of this one. What do you think?

The combination of water and leaf make for an interesting juxtaposition. I might have cropped just a tad more off the bottom left corner.

I wonder if you might think more about that and offer us a short series, as a way to motivate yourself and to think on the nature of that artistict attraction. And of course we benefit by getting to see them, too. I particularly like the colors in this.

Remarkably, one of my other favorite bloggers (Lucca's Cafe) posted something astonishingly similar just a few days ago. You may be interested to see it at: http://teskografix.aminus3.com/image/2008-08-11.html
And, yes, you do need to go out and shoot -- we all do! So let's see what you bring back . . . Please keep at it. I always enjoy this blog.

So innocent. The curving brick lines in the back really add interest. Maybe a little overexposed? Maybe.

The little bit of dune in the immediate left foreground bothers me a little. I think it helps add depth, but because it's out of focus it's a little distracting. But cutting it seems to flatten the image and make it less interesting. Thoughts?

I like these kinds of shots a lot. I might have wished for a little more clarity in that ribbon to add even greater impact, but overall it's nice execution.
