When the challenge is over please write up a "how'd he do that" for this shot. Very good work, the coloring effect does much to bring out the subject and strengthen the photograph. Very nice work!

Wonderful posing and what a great subject! What a smile! I do however think it could be better with a less distracting background.

I find the bright display in the back left to be quite distractive.

Nice composition. The focus is a bit too soft for the foreground subject. Some unsharp mask might add a lot to this photo.

An interesting effect that comes off rather well. There is some distraction from the reflections on the lips, but otherwise all is very good.

I find this a pleasant photo, but I get visually confused as to what the subject is here. The clouds, the stone formation, or the tree. I enjoy a photo with visual motion, that is, one that causes the eye to wander from element to element. However, I think this one would benifit more from a different perspective that brings the eye to the subject.

No reprieve.

Nice colors for establishing some contrast and setting the mood. I understand the artistic blur, but feel that it is a bit overdone to the point that it is difficult to find the subject in the background. Having said that, I like the photo causes the eye to flip between the foreground and background.

Very nice photo! This works very well. I really like the artistic effect and the mood. The only problem with it that I see is that the very bright clothing and light hair on the girl have caused some exposure problems. It might have been better if the two switched around so the girl is on the side with the heavier frost (or whatever it is).
