Meets Challenge: 3 of 3.
Technical: 3 of 3. I'll let that poor lone white pixel slide... this time. :)
Emotion: 3 of 3. Such a great moment in time captured and shared with me. I keep expecting that drop to disappear, and it stays there. He's unique, not like his brothers below him. Something we all aspire to be.

Fantastic. Fan. Tastic.

Meets Challenge: 1 of 3. Too much white shirt for me. It dominates the photo, instead of the low key aspects.
Technical: 3 of 3. Wish I saw more of the tattoo, but that's no big deal.

What am I Thinking?

Technical: 2 of 3. That little thing in the lower corner...
Emotion: 2 of 3. Obviously it's a staged photo, so don't take this the wrong way. I just wish it felt a little less staged. Like you got this shot while he was playing or reading, instead of "here, sit down and look at the camera". And I probably wouldn't say that about an adult subject... but he's a kid, he should be doing kid things. Right? Little thing, really. Great expression.

Technical: 2 of 3. Wish those reflections were gone, they break up the cool curvy feel.
Emotion: 2 of 3. I dunno, something's missing. I need something more to draw me in and make we want to keep looking.

Lunar Light

Meets Challenge: 2 of 3. Can the moon ever be too bright? Maybe in this shot.
Technical: 3 of 3. Well done.
Emotion: 1 of 3. I've seen the moon before. Show me a new side that I haven't seen.

House Key

Comment:
Meets Challenge: 2 of 3. A little too much light for me, but good.
Technical: 2 of 3. The black areas on the left corners distract, otherwise good.
Emotion: 3 of 3. What's on the other side? Adventure? Heartache? I guess I'll never know.

Meets Challenge: 1 of 3. This is just barely low key, for me.
Technical: 3 of 3. Very good shot.
Emotion: 2 of 3. Action, suspense (literally, and in wondering what happens next), color. Good.

A Tribute to an Old Friend

Technical: 2 of 3. I like the colors in the lens, but don't like that I can so easily see your umbrella.
Emotion: 2 of 3. Looks like a good friend. I wonder what kind of trouble you two used to get into.

A light in the darkness
by ahmadbaara

Comment:
Meets Challenge: 2 of 3. A *liiiitle* too much skin showing. I'd have liked it to be a little darker.
Technical: 3 of 3. Especially like that you *didn't* make this black and white (like everyone else seems to be doing). Candle implies warm, warm implies red, not white. There are a few stray blue pixels that probably should have been edited out, but that's fine.
