Critiquing one another's work often leads to a new perspective on your own photography that you might not have considered before. As photographers, we often get so invested in what we're doing that we fail to see some of the small things that can make a photo better. If another person can point this out to us, it can lead to improvements in our work.

Be prepared to receive advice that you don't like, or don't agree with. If you receive what you think is a bad comment- first, think about the comment from their point of view. They may well just have a point. However, if you still don't agree, be polite and respectful, or better yet- don't reply. Never get into an arguing match with someone who doesn't share your opinion of your photo. It is, after all, only an opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.

I don't know the reason for the mask, but this photograph makes me want to find out.

This is nicely exposed; I see that you are trying to emphasize the depth of this hallway by including the ceiling and wall to the right but I think you can obtain this by cropping less right side wall and less ceiling so you see the outside details outside the window; the image pops when I zoom in seeing that potential cropped image.and it shows some light and textures on the left wall.

Nice texture. Nice grays. You might want to be more explore being more level/square---as if you'd take the picture right on, and level, rather than from below and the side. Photoshop/Lightroom transformation tools let you play wit this.

Cool shot; I was just there in February. I have a suggestion for you to explore if you feel like doing it. The ice at the foreground lower right anchors your image and it show that it is translucent; I would put the use the clarity setting on that piece of ice to make it shine like a diamond to catch your eye.

Nice image. Perhaps a little crop off the sky. Maybe at 9 x 16 ratio

Love that throat. It would be nice to have more detail in the black feathers.

I like the way you've gotten the water to flow together, and how the lines of the rocks converge.

Clever. You might want to see what happens if you can see (a dark) torso. Unless the message is both that he's steamed and that he's losing his head.

Haleakala Rainbow, Maui

It was cloudy and misty on our trip up the mountain, but with clouds, and luck, you can get a rainbow!

Nice rainbow catch; I have a suggestion for you to try, darken the foreground mountain to make the rainbow standout.

I like this photo but think it could be cropped from the left perhaps even 25%.

I like the low clouds and the cnoverging effect. I'm pleased where the key point is on the right. You might consider less ocean.

Friendly Maui cat

Yes, it's out of focus, but he really wanted to crawl onto my lap!

Perhaps a smaller aperture would have been better.
