Outrageous color. Interesting texture. Great depth of field. Nice--but does it really say "serendipity"? Perhaps context (other than in the title) would help.

Strength of Nature

When I asked my friends and family for a subject for this challenge this is the one they chose. I couldn't get to where there was one, so thank you! I'll point them here.

Photographically speaking, I don't feel the tipped angle of the tree trunk supports the theme so well. And, for me, the use of sepia tone detracts--I wonder did the subject need that treatment? Contrast, focus, crop,--right on as far as I'm concerned. Luck

The gentle strength

What a subtle intensity! The side lighting and cropping seem to make this (typical?) infant pose something much more. More focus on the fist would have helped bring out the whole concept a little more. The model's a keeper! Best of luck!

There are so many right things about this photo! The light is right, the cropping, the movement, lighting, must I go on! Hope you make it to the top!

Which one is heavier?

Such a quietly beautiful image! It's hard to critique this. Perhaps a sharper focus on the ant and blade--but I think the subject and depth of field make that difficult. Bumping you up on the scores for the second time.....

Sensual. Lovely lighting, color, mood. Think the cropping is slightly too tight.

Technically well donw. I think it lacks movement to convey the power aspect.

Nice portrait. Might benefit from some fill lighting to lessen the shadow across the lips.

Lord, Give Me Strength

Nice exposure, sharp pic. Think the concept of strength suffers from the tilt of the building.
