This is very well done. It definitely takes the mundane and industrial and makes it interesting and artistic. Great job with the tones - I have such a tough time with that.

Terrific. I've been browsing your portfolio after coming across one of your portraits. This is quite well done, especially as you've just begun experimenting with duotones. The tonality and contrast of this photo really accentuate the composition. Very nicely done.

Wow. This is just fantastic. I've been looking at it for 20 minutes. I love the way you've made the girl (who in my imagination is the painter) look painted, while keeping the realistic element of the paintings themselves. Worthy of hanging.

Where's Waldog?

roflol. Great title - adds interest to the photo but the image doesn't rely on it. There is an excellent softness to his (?) fur. 7

Dollface

There is a harsh shadow on the wall which can be avoided by placing the subject several feet from the wall. Also this is very over sharpened - the dress and the hair particularly. Because of the fine texture of the dress it lends itself to oversharpening. Being aware of the textures of thingss when you take the shot can help. For example, knowing that this dress would not tolerate sharpening very well, I would have ensured tack sharp focus on the face in camera, so as not to have to rely on post processing. 4

My eye cannot stop staring at the arc of light painted above the chair. The blinds are also distracting. 4

Framing is nice. Lighting is almost perfect (would like a teensy bit less glare on the left). A bit of noise that distracts me. I can identify the problems, but unfortunately offer no solutions. My own attemptt would have tielded similar results. 5 on technical merit, but giving it a 6 for the thoughtfulness in composition and particularly how the stem is lit.

Clever. Nice dof choice. would like the face a tad sharper. Also there seem to be compression artifacts in the water. 5

IMO this suffers dramatically from over processing. It was obviously intentional, but does not suit my taste. 3
