LOVING the bokeh, only wish the leaves in front were somehow more interesting. 6

This has got to be Lynnesite. What a gift you have for capturing these majestic animals. If I've pegged the photographer wrong, take it as a compliment.

Interesting shot, but the saturation is way to much for me.

Pieces of Me

The BG color goes very well with your skin and lip color. The cropping is interesting. Two things nag at me: 1) with the texture of her eye shadow so palpable, I don't like having her skin so airbrushed. My eye is just instantly aware that I'm missing the texture of the skin. 2) The expression is very empty and uninvolved. In any type of portrait, I want to see some type of emotion on the person.

High Contrast B/W

Interestingly, before I read your title, my first thought was "it's very gray and could use a boost in contrast." I can see where any more contrast on the center horse might have been over the top, but with advanced editing you could have used a mask. Mostly I see gray.

I find the parts that are sharpened too sharp, and the parts that are softened too soft, but your model has beautiful eyes, and I like the composition.

I love this photo too. (Hi,just a lurker from the mentorship thread). One thought is that if I received a photo card from you as a customer, I would assume you took the photo on it. I would be disappointed if the photos I received were not up to snuff with the exact quality of the photo you have on your card. Just a thought.

Missing you...

Very well done. How'd you get the reflection in the coffee without getting your own reflection?

Awww - precious! This should have finished higher. The expression is great.

Very nice. And I disagree with the pp. I think the black in the corners make a nice vignette effect. I think the hair is a touch oversharpened. The composition and expression are very good.
