Nice, I like the colours/contrast/sharpness and their expressions too, excellent candid. However it´s framed a bit too tight for my taste, you both cut off parts of their feet and the top of the older sisters head.

Nice b/w portrait but too shallow DOF IMHO, I am drawn towards the eye to the right and its irritatingly out of focus so this is not as good as it could have been, again IMHO. 6 from me.

Not bad at all but I couldn´t give this more than 5 for 3 reasons.

1. It´s slanting slightly to the left.

2. The direct flash gives off hideous shadows, if the lighting isnt enough for ambient shooting, try bouncing the flash and if you can´t do that move them somewhere else.

3. The picture is a bit flat to work as a b/w shot, needs more contrast or something to make it pop more off the screen.

Anyway, not bad at all like I said and congratulations on the wedding, this shot is most definately fitting for this challenge.

Not bad at all but the foliage in the foreground is just distracting and doesn´t do anything positive for this image IMHO, next time I would suggest you standing up or moving to the side. Other than that it has a pretty good quality, nice colours sharpness and contrast.

Not a bad family portrait at all but the sky in the backround is blown out and they are underexposed, next time I would suggest you meter of the sky and use a fill flash and I bet you will like the outcome much more.

Not bad at all but the backround is confusing and doesn´t really put the whole scene into context. Perhaps if you would have taken this in the citchen, living room or one of their rooms it would give you a sense of what they were fighting about, as it is it looks pretty posed and unrealistic. Lighting is good though and I like the monotone.

Shot itself not bad at all, but your post processing could have been better, especially the contrast in the image seems a bit flat and could use a boost, of course this is just my opinion.

Very nice, perhaps (and this is just a suggestion) it would have worked better if you had moved a little to the right so that the road was just on the right side of the rune stone instead of going behind it like that but just a suggestion. Like the tones in it and the sky, gives it a very "otherworldly" feel. Would have given it a 7 if I had voted on this challenge.

Very different from most shots here and I like it, great catch.

Sorry and I bet I am not the first to comment on this, but that frame really doesn´t work here in my opinion, it draws more attention than the duck itself! I try not to let frames bother me but this is just too much, again sorry, not meaning to offend.

The shot itself is also below average, it seems out of focus, you either blow out some highlights on the feathers or come very close too it and the composition is dead centered and there is nothing interesting going on in this shot at all. On the plus side the shot is definately on topic.
