"This photo immediately grabs our attention with its impactful color, near-perfect lighting, great selective focus and pleasing composition. Our eyes are drawn the model's serenely lit face, that is complimented by the soft bokeh of the tree lights. " - Royce Bair
"Excellent propping, simplicity in design and complimentary colors (from cool vs. warm) make this beautiful still life easy on your eyes." - Royce Bair
"I’m not a pet lover, but you’ve got to like the chemistry between these two furry friends. Good great use of negative space keeps drawing our eyes back to their interaction." - Royce Bair
"Although it’s hard to take a “bad” photo of Emerald Lake Lodge in Alberta, Canada, this night view shows amazing attention to exposure tonal values, just the right night color balance and excellent composition." - Royce Bair
