Hi Deborah. I haven't been around much in December, so have missed seeing your images. Please forgive this question from a native Pacific Northwestern, but where is Ashfield and the Bershires? (And if you tell me anyplace close by the Washington State I'll be properly ashamed).

I do like the contrast of the red barn with the snow, a very pretty scene. May I suggest possibly cropping out the post with with birdhouse in the lower LH corner?

Hi Judy-
Being a portrait photographer for 25 years or so I might look at images a little differently than some, but I will try to explain my previous comment. The accordion in your image looks like some kind of box, maybe even a lunchbox at first glance. What I meant by sing was the shot itself, not the physical act.

Expression is often the most important aspect in people photography. When we look at an image, we go to the face, and the eyes especially. This can be seen in the work of another TPN member Matt Brandon  http://www.travelphotographers.net/photographer_details/10410/Matt_Brandon

Congrats on the award!

Hi Judy-

I will try to explain my comments. Being a portrait photographer for 25 years or so, I have found that the first thing we look at when viewing a portrait is the expression, most of all, the eyes. Fellow TPN member Matt Brandon is great with this and you can see his work here- http://www.travelphotographers.net/photographer_details/10410/Matt_Brandon
It's very important to have sharp focus in this area and an expression that draws us in, giving an added depth to the image. As for the accordion, I would like to see a more prominent angle of it, in a prominent way, interacting with the subject. Congrats on the award!

Nice color and good job with the hard light. It seems that the island feels a little too close to the right border, do you have more with more area on the right of the island? I would possibly crop up from the bottom a little.

Very nice. I like the colors and the reflection. The shoreline doesn't look level. I would consider straightening it to make the shoreline level.

I don't recall the exact street name but I live here in Israel so if you'd like a tour guide i can help you find it in Tel-Aviv.
