Portrait of an Unknown Writer

Comment:
I think that a shallower DoF would have served you well here, helping to both freeze the motion of the author as well as blurring the shop across the street. Aside from the flowers and the red neon sign, the colors here are fairly unsaturated. While selective desaturation can serve as a powerful compositional aid, I can't see any reason for it here. If it was intentional, having some clue in your title would help to bring it out. If not, reducing the saturation on at least the red/magenta channels would help to make the image look more uniform.

Comment:
Although the cup is positioned well against the tablecloth, I find the overall effect distracting. Perhaps having the scene lit only by the light reflected in the coffee and the rest painted with light would have created a more striking image.

This would be a stronger photo if the woman was in focus rather than the image on the wall.

Diffraction and Light

I'm interested in learning how you did this. The effect is nice, but this looks more like a proof-of-concept study than a final image.

Dew and Leaf

Comment:
The bite marks in the leaf detract from the image. This is a nice shot of a leaf, but they're so common that such photographs need to be done exceptionally well to be interesting.

Dine & Look at the View - CN Tower

Comment:
The blurry vertical lines in the background are distracting. The table is well lit and the clouds add a nice background.

Dusk & Labrador

Comment:
This has been sharpened so much that several of the elements look like they've been pasted in from other pictures.

Dock & Lamps

Comment:
I like the leading lines of the lamps. This image would be stronger if there was something at the end of the trail of lamps. I find the uneven horizon distracting.

Darkness & Light

This image lacks a clear point of interest.

Dreadlocks & Lollipops

Comment:
Somehow the desaturation makes those look less like lollipops. I think that this would have been better in color.
