nice portrait! some oversharpening here, but the colors are great.

cats love windows! I always wonder what is going through their minds. Do they wish there were outside? Are they looking for prey? Looking for excitement from their boring lives of sleeping and eating? Cat equivalent of TV? anyway, I like the silhouette and the minimal tones. would work well in a high contrast challenge.

wonderful night shot, and use of complementary colors

very nice lighting. 3 lights plus reflector I'm guessing (maybe a fourth as hair light). some nitpicks that would make this an absolute stand-out - I would clone out the multiple catchlights, the crop right on the chest doesn't work well, and her right bra strap is twisted. Pluses - lighting, makeup, skin processing (not overdone, but very smooth), and her eyes are not oversharpened! Very well done! 8.

I really like the very narrow DOF here. the toning works well, too.

great concept. Hard to work in that high contrast light, though.

I love the ripples in the background, right behind the leaves on the bottom. seems to have an off cast to it, though.

the processing fits the statues very well. the title is great, too.

way cool. Without the people, there is no sense of scale. the symmetry works well here.
