Here's today's Reader's Eye submission, by Maryanne Sheckman of Swampscott:

“I decided to see what the blizzard had left behind the day after it left. I usually take pictures of the action, but this time, I wanted some quiet. I went to the Nahant Rotary and took this picture of Swampscott."

Camera info: Canon EOS, long-range zoom

Photo staff critique: The crashing waves and the snow-covered cityscape says winter after a storm. You can feel the cold in this winter image. Apparently, the photographer used a telephoto lens to compress the elements in the photo. A suggestion is to crop some of the blank sky at the top of the photo. Cropping would emphasize the action of the waves in the lower half of the photo. Also, cropping would give you more of a stepped layering effect.

February 28, 2013 Reader's Eye Submission from Salem's Christine Mendyk:

"I took this in Hamilton. I clean houses and regularly get to visit beautiful homes on beautiful properties. I was finished for the day and went to my car, and I looked up at this view. I call these my 'ah ha' God moments, where he says, 'Christina, here you go,' take a photo. The only camera I had on me was my iPhoe. I captured 'Hamilton Sky,' the New England sky in all its glory."

"I love photography and had my Nikon stolen last year. It threw me. I love to photograph everything all around me and tell wonderful stories through photos. I am purely for the passion, not profession, of photography.-It makes my heart sing. I am saving for another Nikon. D5000, hopefully soon!"

Camera Info: iPhone

Photo Staff Critique: "Pastel colors convey the tranquil mood in this winter image at twilight. Muted colors reflect off the snow in the foreground, rounding out the soft color palette. The stark, leafless trees and fence are strong elements that stand out, but do not overpower the soft colors. A good composition, nicely captured."

February 21, 2013 Reader's Eye Submission from Beverly's Nancy Forrant:

"I took this on Jan. 29, after a light dustin of snow on the 28th. I love the look of the gazebo at Tuck's Point covered in snow instead of its usual red color. The clouds were mostly gray, but I think in this case it works.

"I love nature and all its beauty"

Camera Info: Nikon D5000

Photo Staff Critique: "A gray day with a dustin of snow creates the mood and feeling for this winter scene-an inviting image that beckons you to visit the gazebo. There is plenty of directional movement carrying you toward the gazebo in this photo. Clouds roll in from the top left corner toward the gazebo. The waterline from the bottom left corner leads you toward the same spot. A walkway from the right walks you into the gazebo as well"

February 14, 2013 Reader's Eye Submission from Beverly's John Forrant:

"I shot this in Rockport, Mass. I wanted to shoot something that really popped. The orange of the boat and its relections really grabbed my eye."

"I love to explore the area around Beverly and the North Shore. I will shoot most anything, but love landscapes and nautical themes"

Camera Info: Canon T2i, f/13 @ 1/160 second, tripod-mounted. Edited in Adobe Lightroom.

Photo Staff Critique: "The vivid orange of the boat definitely demands your attention. Shimmering reflections dazzle your eye. A strong image with good composition and cropping. The photographer searched and was rewarded for his effort"
