A pity the background light was so strong, and the lack of chin focus is a distraction. Otherwise an excellent choice of model for a B&W shoot. You captured some character well. 6.

Reflections on a Turtle

Comment:
This is nice composition. I like the reflection and balance of the framing. A pity the rock face is a little blown out. I can see this would have been near impossible to compensate for using contrast and brightness alone. Only better lighting in the first instance would have "fixed" it probably. 6.

I just love the way you got the "hurry up and take the damn shot!" expressioin so wonderfully heroic looking! (humor intended). Serioulsy, whoever this model is, I'll be damned if he aint known heroism first hand! EXCELLENT composition and pose. Aperture, lighting, exposure, etc. - perfect. 10.

Heroes seem somehow more appropriate framed so dead center yes? Excellent lighting, exposure and focus. 8.

Nice style :) Some may argue, but I'm giving this an 8. It's great composition and lighting for just the right effect. Very humorous (not to be insulting your hero or anything!).

Well now! This would have been just awesome with some artistic blur or brush strokes or something added, perhaps selectively (was that allowed?) Not your everyday photo! 8.

Wow. I've never even personally been to war. but this image touches me as if I had. It's challenging to decide whether any war in general is heroric or not of course, but the personal sacrifice by each and every soldier, onboth sides, has to be heroric in nature. Surely?! This gets a nine from me because it's so well composed and so emotively stimulating. Well done!

Such a difficult challenge to judge given the subjective nature of impressionism.

This image expressed "wet to the bone" in a clear yet casual manner. It's a very good interpretation of impressionism imo. The trees and wotnot don't seem to contribute to me. I gave you a 9. Good luck!
