Kitty looks more whimsical than in pain, but not a bad pic of a cat.

HEARTACHE ( the pain inside)

Comment:
Good composition, good use of natural light. The pain of loss is easily felt. I think I might have cropped n a bit closer on the subject. The background is a bit cluttered.

Loss

The body language of your subject is not that of someone in pain, It's more likely, he would be trying to withdraw from the world and curled up in a ball. good photo technique

I'm not sure this photo really has much to do with pain, but I like it. The wreaths on the graves are signs of not being forgotten. The snow seems like a pristine white blanket that can cover up the pain and loss of a loved one. Good composition and the colors are great. I see you didn't fall into the blue colorcast with snowy background trap. 8

Tear of Pain

Now that looks like someone in pain. I like the contrast of lighting on her face and the darkness of the background. I'd like a little more story in the picture though, what causes such pain for one so young and pretty?

Nice treatment of the challenge. Great lighting and composition, the focus is spot on.

The Old Rugged Cross

Good idea, poor execution.
1. The lighting is great, brings out the detail and draws the view to the center of the piece.
2. The position of the hand is also great, looks like it's contracted in pain.
3. If you're trying for religous conneciton, note that the nails were driven into Jesus' hands and ankles, not wrist.
I still give you a 5 for the attempt.

Everyone likes to belong. Great composition, nice bokeh, and the BW really adds to the reality of the situation. Keep up the good workl.

Painful Awakening from Dreaming

Interesting idea. But "drawn in" tear tracks weakens the effect greatly. Try again.

The challenge is pain, not slapstick. Try something less contrived.
