Wow...Your first attempt in studio lighting....your a natural. This is so cute. All technically aspects are done so well. In a pet portrait challenge I believe this would had ribboned. Nice Job!!!

Very interesting image. You nailed the composition. Great use of DOF. Looks like this board has been used and would hold some great memories. Your processing choice was a good one. If there was anything I think might improve the image would be to add a little noise to it, not a ton just a little. You have a Great eye for photography. Looking forward seeing more of your work. I think it should had finished in the top ten for sure......ace

I'm really not a fan of Edward Weston for the most part so this is going to be tough for me. If I try to compare your image to his style I would say he had more contrast/darker tones though out his images. To me your image has little to much gray through out. Portrait style landscape works some times. I feel it didn't so much here. Reviewing it on it's own merit I think it's a good shot. I like the composition using the two trees to keep you focused inside the image. The b&w conversion is good. The bell curve score I feel pretty much sums it up. I didn't vote in this challenge. If I did it would had been a 6 mostly because there is no 5.5 button...Lol. All in all in my opinion it's a nice shot.......ace

Brings back memories of the old days when I was a journeyman Iron worker / Pipe fitter. It's also why I'm glad I sit behind a desk. Nice shot!

I really like the idea. Pretty much a DNMC shot. The white balance is off, not to sharp. I see a ton of potential in this image.

Great idea....the lighting of the image appears a little flat. Bumping up the contrast and pushing the colors a little more this would be one of my top picks....6
