Staggering Beauty ... Indomitable Strength

The human shapes add a great perspective. Nice positioning. I love the misty wave pattern in the top but the bottom rocky areas are very contrasty.

Definitely a stong animal. The texture on the fir is nice. Improvement areas: 1) Needs more light on the face - perhaps fill flash of wait until he turns his head a bit to his left. 2) The out-of-focus white brach in the upper right corner is very distracting 3) The white trunk behind the animal leads your eye up and out of the frame.

Nice seeing - wonderful use of repeating shapes. Composition great, colors very effective. The only thing that detracts from this picture for me are the powerlines, poles and building in the very background.

Nice silhouette. Colors very nice. The merger of the pump with the top of the frame is a bit disturbing.

Black and white was a good choice for this. Don't like the "haze" abot the arm in the upper left.

Nice studio setup - like the use of all black and white in a color photo. I think the lighting seup could have been better executed as the top of the glass seems a bit weak. Both the left and right side of the top of the glass tend to merge into the background.

Definite show of strength - and you don't need either face to show it. The yellowish cast detracts a bit as does the ref's legs at the top.

Pretty busy photo. The green diagonal area is a nice touch. Flat lighting didn't help much, might have been better with afternoon long shadows.

The face and arm are great shows of strength. The geen background is a perfect choice for his skin color. Unfortunately, the area of most contrast - the white band at the bottom with a black base - draws way too much attention. This cost a couple points - would have been a 9 without it.
