i'm so cold

Interesting IR like appearance. Not making the connection with the challenge because I imagine you are trying to convey leaves rustling in the cold winter wind. I'm not certain that this image adequately conveys that message. Artistically quite tasteful presentation. Technically, appears to have everything in order. DOF, exposure, focus, detail, tonal range.

Kudos for creativity. Simple, conveys the point. Overall the photo is rather flat. The textured wall does not add enough interest to captivate the audience. Technically the image has adequate sharpness, focus, and exposure.

Outstanding entry on all aspects, theme, artistic, and technical. Wonderful DOF, focus, and detail. The composition, framing, and tone is very effective. My pick for top 10. 8

Excellent composition. Tastefully and artistcally framed. Nice tonal range. Excellent exposure and detail. Stark duotone conveys the message and with great visual impact. Nicely done.

I think this one works well, one of the better broken bulb entries. Good use of long shutter. Nicely exposed. The motion blur adds a lot of interest to this shot.

I think this one works best of all the broken homes entries. The perspective and composition is excellent, as is the lighting. Technically without any significant flaws.

Excellent composition. I like the perspective and framing. The model is showing the appropriate emotions to make this one work. Technically aspects beyond reproach. Well done.

Hi there. I'd like to spend some time and give you a detailed critique.

Challenge theme: Appropriate. Fits within the spirit of the challenge.

Technical details:
- Size: Inadequate. Please resize to 600-640 pixels in all future submissions.
- Focus: Appears to be satisfactory. Fine detail is present.
- Tonal range: Compressed. No tonal values in either extreme.
- Exposure: Adequate for given artistic presentation.

Artistic details: Your composition and framing works well here. The gritty duotone sets the mood. There's not enough pixels here to really give your photo the impact it deserves and can potentially impart.

Overall: This is a good effort which is unfortunately hampered by technical limitations imposed by the size of the entry.

Technical details: excellent tonal range, focus, sharpness, and DOF. I like the low key appearance which adds to the mood of the photograph. Very tasteful and artistic presentation overall.
