Excepional lighting technique. Great job of printing. The books are actually soft focus, intentionally I presume, because it works very well, adding a bit of mystery. The title is a bit "cutesy" for me.

I am WOMAN...

Nice pose. The legs are especially strikig with the mesh stockings. The mergers of the black background with her dress is intriguing. On the down side, I can't really tell what she's holding. Finally, I'm not sure I agree this image says strength very well.

Dutch Strength?

Very nice colors. The polarized blue of the sky makes the yelllow colors pop throughout. Too bad there are dirt specs in the sky area (right above the yellow penant on the bow.)

The dirty glass adds a lot to this image. Because of the framing the picture seems to be off horizontal. My eye wants to rotate the image counter-clockwise a bit.

Window Cross

Colors work well. No window frame showing, but I guess the beveled edge of the glass is "almost" a window frame.

The orange color is striking. I'd like to see a bit more of the basket holding the flowers by moveing the camera left a bit. It would have really popped the image if the green areas of the flowers were a bit more vivid.

Two for One

Nice find - and the" two for one" title is catchy. To me, the overall photo lacks impact - mostly because the end view through window #2 is pretty busy and doesn't reall have a "subject." There's also some composition issue such as the "border areas:" 1) The slim area on the very top left of the frame should be eliminated, 2) The white board in the top right of the frame leads you out of the frame (And since we should probably see more of the bottom of window #1 - maybe just moving the camera down a bit would be the thing to do.). Finally - it would be helpful if there were some texture in the area inside the building. Was there a way to get some light reflected in there? I know this is a lot of info - but hope it heps.

Nice portrait. Good catchlight in the cat's eye. The fur tends to have a yellowish hue - which detracts for me.

Colors are very nice as is the composition. Great detail on the leaf.

Excellent framing on a beautiful afternoon. Did you also try hiding more of the ultra-bright sky behind the frame?
