Beautiful, but maybe a little too dark in the darker areas.

It won't be everybody's cup of tea, but this is a superb photo. Emotionally and viscerally it grabs you and the hell with technical details. Bravo. Quite an accomplishment.

Oh man, best of show so far. Brilliant concept. I wish the drawing hand and pen was a little clearer but whatta concept!

Great concept and capture but move in and fill the frame! A might tighter crop would have been wonderful here.

Brilliant concept and wonderfully executed, but that frame is awful.

Shot through a car window?? The image has a hazy caste about it that is unsettling. If it was clearer and sharper, would be a magnificent print.

Family Tree

A wonderful conceptual take on the challenge, but the image doesn't quite work. The foreground tree has a fuzzy quality about it (as do the shoes) that makes it a bit hard to look at. The background blue is a nice tone but maybe a little strong. In considering how to improve this shot, I think maybe a more oblique sun angle would have helped, as well as moving in a bit to get a sharper impression of the shoes. I'm giving you an above average score though, for the concept. Brilliant!

I don't know how I missed this shot in your portfolio in past visits. A breathtakingly beautiful photo. Well done!

For The Birds

A lot of oblique macro shots such as this suffer from inadequate dof, where, for instance, only part of one seed is in focus. You've avoided that problem neatly and provided very wide, but thankfully not infinite, dof. I love the salty texture and the overall contrasty feel. Great image. Makes me crave salt!

Dodge Viper RT/10

An absolutely impeccable shot. It looks as though it was done by Dodge's PR department for their advertising campaign. I wonder if you shot it in a white room or if you removed all the background by photoshop and then added the drop-shadow. If the latter, your PS skills are astounding as well.
