Yes, yes, yes. I love the simplicity, and I love the way it seems to taunt the viewerw with only a glimpse. The desaturation works, and the shadows are cool.

Nothing I can think of would make this a better photo for me, you did an absolutely stunning job.

Hello Barbara. I like your shot here, and I'm pretty sure I've stood where you are standing in this. Moose Falls, i think, I lived there last fall for 3 months. Swam, played, jumped off the edge of the waterfall, and even got a couple photos.

Anyway, I think you lost some clarity somewhere along the line, because it seems to lack focus. The shot is still very, very pretty and serine, but that hardcore sharpness is lacking.

It was certainly my favorite. I love this because it seems to be more innocent, and harmless, and funny.

Some of the others just irritated me, and quite frankly made me want to vomit. No offense to any of the others, the challenge was difficult in that manner, and I made my mistakes just the same @ 47%.

The way you coordinated, executed, and held the grace is awesome. Something of creativiy for sure it shows amazing artistic abilities, and awesome talent.

I love the way you kept the details, and still managed to see the sun star. Overall the photo taps my endless curiosity, and adventure. I wonder if any more details could be brought out with dodge/clone.

Amazing photo, but I have to -1, for those un-naturally over-processed eyes. I understand that they may not of been over-processed, but in that case you should of toned them down with your advanced editing leverage. They just appear way over-bearing, and distracting. Great looking model. And overall an 8.

Great color portrait. I love the tilt on the wall, but I'm guessing alot of people wont. The portrait works well with me, I think you did a fantastic job of coordinating the mood. GL. -8

A tad bit goofy, but I love humor, and I love this shot. I also love the way it makes me feel guilty for calling it goofy. Its sort of goofy, in a serious, great photo type of way. My fav so far, excellent job, and superior creativeness. 9+

Beautiful portrait, beautiful model. The only problem I can reckognize here, is the amazing competition at hand. You have to get more pizazz out of your photo to place high. IMO, the white background could be better, it takes away from her beautiful brown skin. Also, a brown skin person has an amazing advantage with jewelry. IMO, gold, diomands, and maybe even pearls never look better than on brown skin, perhaps something like that could of been incorporated for more pop.

A big gold looped earring, a nice bright choker, but not white. And a changing of the background to a more settle solid color, and dim the lights. I dont know if it'd work, but I'd certainly love the challenge. All this, and I'm still giving the photo at hand a 7.

He played for my Redbirds. GO CAIRO, we still love you back here in St.Louis. Great player, great portrait. GL.

Portrait

This has the potential of an A+++ portrait. The colors seem flat, and need to be jazzed up a bit. Not changing the colors or anything, but jazzing them up with levels, or curves would probably do the trick. BTW, beautiful model. GL.
