Waiting for this image to download I was really impressed with it, but when it got to the bottom and the big black line goes across at the base of the glasses it really spoiled it...

Looking more closely at the glassses, on the front glass, right hand side there looks to be a dirty mark that could easily have been cloned out.

The idea, the colours, how it's lined up, the lighting etc are all brilliant, but this spoils it. 7

Yuck, that'd scare most people!!

I feel the crop is too tight here, want to see more at the bottom etc.

Really cute shot here, the beautiful bright blue eyes really add that something extra to the shot. 8/10

A good shot here, great DOF. Think it may be slammed though because of the subject.

The details here are really good, the water droplets at the top of the breast, the different skin tones.

Only gripe would be the white glare on the left hand side of the breast. Maybe using a burn tool to make this a little darker. 9/10

Wonderfully Tacky

YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK...

Imagine how long it would take them to remove the decorations! Just think of their electricity bill?!?

Your picture isn't yuck though. The angle of the roof in your picture is good, makes it look as if the raindeer are getting ready to fly off.

A little overexposed with the snowmen in the front, however it kind of works making us think that they are really bright and 'tacky' Full marks from me!

It's a good idea, maybe turning all the M's up the same way.

You could also have cloned out the two reflections in the green one.

Brilliant shot here on so many levels.

Looking at the picture first, the image of the girl makes us think how lucky we are. The dirt around her legs, feet etc and how she's hiding looking vulnerable.

Then, looking at the title it adds so much, reinforces what I was thinking.

Only little niggles about this picture, the words in brackets might have looked better in the middle of the text? And, I can see a faint box around the text that you have entered.

Great shot, 9/10

Brilliant photo here, really like the subject!...

The background colours, and the colour of the flower go well, these details add those few extra points for me. The only thing I would have liked to see was this a little sharper.

Well done! 10

A good stong picture here. Can't make my mind up if I like the 'shadow' behind like you have it, or would it maybe have been better with him looking over the body??

It's good in B&W, even the crop, which for any other shot I would have said was too much, here it works well.

A good, well executed shot. 10
