The oranges of the sunset contrast wonderfully with the blues of the ice, making them look even bluer. Very nice.

I like the contrasty post-processing that you have done here. It realy suits the mood of the image. I think the chain link fence, though busier than I would normally prefer for a portrait, really works here, too. It all makes such a busy and rough texture that gives the image a kind of grittiness that seems to really go with the subject matter. 7 from me.

Interesting and beautiful colors. I like the lines and blocks (for lack of a better word) of color and texture created by all of the elements in this image. Very nice seen and composed.

THe only thing I wish were different on this image would be to not have the island cutting through the figure of the child. I think it is distracting and a little confusing. Maybe it would also be nice to have his arm extended a tiny bit to seperate it from his body so that we can see it. That is the tough part about silohuettes. Other than those two small things, this image is total perfection. A wonderful profile so we can see the boy's features. Nice highlights on the water and still some detail in the shadows (on my monitor). Great angle to put the boy's head above the horizon. Overall nice balance and a sweet, calm mood. Very nice. 8 from me.

Beautiful black and white. FOr some reason, I especially like the fence taking up the lower corner of the frame. Beautiful job with your dynamic range and black and white conversion. 8 from me.

I think I would have cropped more off the top on this one. Probably all of the pink part sof the hat, so just the horizontal hat band was along the top of the frame. The lighting and contrasty post-processing give great texture to his beard and the lines of his face. It really tells a story. 8 from me.

Very interesting and pretty lighting, coming in from both sides. Her eyes really sparkle with the 'double' catchlights. I like the lines of the compostion very much. The line of the back of her arm, to me, is like an inverted reflection of the line of the right side of her face. I hope that makes sense :) ANyway, I really like this. 8 from me.

I have seen this kind of shot many times before, and I think you really added something unique to it with the angle here. I also like how you cropped in tight and touched the wheel to the edge of the frame. Very cool shot. 8 from me.

Nice job panning and keeping his face so sharp. A cool motion shot with a less common subject (usually I see cars and bikes, etc). The title goes with it perfectly. I love the little guy's expression. The whites on the hat are the only thing I would change about this image, and that is a minor nitpick. Very nice shot. 8 from me.
