Technically a great job. Artistcally - it lacks impact for me.

The Age of Innocence

Comment:
I don't know whether you've desaturated part of the imge to get this effect or not - but it REALLY WORKS! The composition is great - although I initially thought I'd tell you to crop some from the left. Bottom line - one of the the best submissions.

Lighting is great! Composition is perfect. The test strip is a stretch to get the message however.

The golden egg
by jjbeguin

Comment:
One of several "golden egg" photos and perhaps the best of the bunch. The black background is very effective as is the lighting. I do have a problem with the feather on the left - it appears so "placed" - but don't ask me why I think that. Perhaps it is too perfect - I'd love to see other options. Overall a very nice effort.

The image is great! Composition very well done. I love the way the left side has the "extra" fence while the right side doesn't. This is one time where my biggest complaint with an entry is its title. I can think of many many more appropriate titles without really trying. Great use of black and white.

Very nice image - colors work extremely well. If I could tell what the top white thingie was (and why) this would most likely been a 10. As is... I gave it an 8.

Nice image. Like the leading line from the bottom left into the image. Colors seem a bit too pumped up - especially the green at the edge of the waterfall on the left side.

Good seeing! The lines all pointing towards your subject are very effective.

Forever Love was the last thing I was looking for...

Beautiful lighting and colors. I like the transition from the lighter background to dark - but think the gradient should have been done in about 1/2 the space.

Very nice B&W portrait. The feet are absolutely perfect! The slightly tilted presentation works very well. The only complaint I have is the concept that the eyes of a portrait are "THE" focal point. If your model were looking directly at the camera - with a catchlight in the eye.... two more points.
