Looking Through the Wet Window

It's a reasonable cat portrait, but there is just nothing about it to make it special. I feel like 99% of the cat pictures I take turn out similar to this. I am not saying that you placed fairly in the rankings, but don't feel like this really deserved a lot more than it got either. With subjects like pets, kids, things we really care about, it's easier to think that the picture we took is better than the photo really is, because we have such an emotional attachment to the subject itself. Perhaps this is the case here. Again, I want to say its a good shot, there is just nothing to make it great.

Fortunately for you, I enjoy this photo much more than the book. Wow, I hated that thing. Good shot, love the sky.

GREAT idea here. I think that the tones could have been better here, but the subject (and title) are fabulous.

face isnt sharp and is to hidden by shaddow. A closer and sharper shot would have been good

looks eerie and creepy! Cool approach and tones, especially on him. I actually think the bar with graffiti in the foreground is to distracting though. I honestly would lose that!

Very interesting approach and angle, but to dark. Great sandy texture, and depth of field.

Carefree childhood

Wow, poor girl. What a disgusting place! I want to see a bit more of her face though, while still keeping the atmosphere. Not that I dock for the title, but I would think that this girl is too burdened for her childhood to be called carefree.

Wow, what an iteresting place! Obviously the place isnt a mansion, but I dont know that it says poverty either. I love the background with the city, just such a mix of old and new. Good shot, just needs more "poverty" to me

An interesting approach, but the shot itself doesnt say poverty... Maybe people at the food bank, picking out food, etc.
