My favorite of the challenge. I love the expression. It is a great example of a (fairly) traditional portrait that captures tons of personality. Your lighting is wonderful. I am thinking this was taken with a fairly wide focal length (50mm or wider?) which I like because I think the slight distortion exagerates the playfulness and whimsy of the little guy's expression. 10 from me because I can't suggest a way to make it better.

I really like your treatment of this image. The warmth and vintage-y glow works very nicely here. It looks like the groom is a little soft. I would have asked him to lean forward and into his bride, bringing them together on the focal plane and making them more connected in the image. He looks a little like he's pulling away. 6 from me.

Love the expression. I like how you can just see her blue eyes inside those big goggles. I normally don't like the centered, head-in-a-box kind of composition for close-ups, but I think it works here. The processing is pretty flat and cool, but again maybe that works here too. Cool shot.

I hope this one doesn't get voted down for being snapshotty (I term I detest anyway). It is such a great moment you captured. A great example of candid street photography. I think I might like it even more with a little more space around the subjects. Very nicely seen.

I like the building in the background and how it frames the composition.

I like the processing in general, but I think the clouds are a little over-burned. I don't like the white halo around the building. Cool angle and tilt.

I like the wide angle perspective alot. I think it would have been even more effective if the camera were a little lower and angled up more. So the horizon went through the hunter's knees maybe, instead of cutting him in half. I love the texture fo the sky behind him and the subtle backlighting. Nice processing, too. 6 from me.

If it was possible, I think this would be great from a lower camera position so that the silohuette was above the horizon. Everything else about the image is stunning.

This one reminds me of a painting more than a photograph (which I like about it). 6 from me.

I like the balance of the blue and the green. The hard side light really makes the colors pop. The texture of the dirty window is great.
