Nice B&W. Don't care to much for the inner border but overall picture is great. 7

Nice lighting, lines, texture, subject in the perfect place.

In the Calm of Night

Nice shot and effect but the subject is not strong enough to hold my attention. My eyes want to keep going toward the light. Maybe some dodge on the bench would help. Still a good shot with nice focus and composition.
Keep up the good work.

Running For Your Life

This has a good effect. The only thing distracting to me is the black smudge on the left side by the pillars. I would consider cloning it out.
Great job!

Ok keeping it real here. I really like the process done to the model. But front leg seems out of touch and place. Seems painfully out of shape with the remaining subject and dark compared, even though the other foot is light. The spotlight effect works real well but the crop IMO is to tight to justify an empty rooms theme. I'm not saying it does not meat the challenge but what I am saying is you didn't show me enough to get the feel of an empty room. If you could of taken the picture with a wider angle of the room and the spotlight effect on your subject as you have done I feel it would of reduced the front leg issue and opened up the photograph to give me the feel of an empty room. I also wish the title would of said something more about the picture than just the models name. I feel she has something on her mind as she stares upward. A different title may have given a better picture to viewer relation emotionally.

Overall a good shot that could of been better without the tight crop showing more of an empty room. The processing is great on the model but the venting is a little strong. Good Job and wish you well in the challenge. 6

Seating for One

OK I have scored your photograph the other day but wanted to come back to it. First let me say the lighting is great along with the focus and DOF. I love the texture in the floor and the different tones in the floor. But I am having a problem with the placement of the wicker chair. It seems to me to be crowding the window. I think it would have been better if the chair was place a ways from the window maybe 2' out and 2' back. I know the lighting would of still been good on the chair because I can see the wall socket in the back corner of the room.

With that said I had your picture scored as a 6 but I'm going to have to bump to a 7 because of the great detail in the overall picture.

I do feel you meet the challenge and your photograph is over all good. I believe it would of been better if all the trash on the floor were taken out of the shot and the picture brightened up a little around the piano and the door. Good Job 6

A nice photograph but a little on the busy side for me. I feel you meet the challenge but the whole in the floor distracts me from the item you placed in the room. 6

Blue Chair

Nice photograph with wonderful colors. You photo does give me a sense of emptiness. The only thing I may have done differently is bring the chair out a little. Make it stand out more. With all the colors around it, it kind of blends. Good Job! 7
