Beautiful image. Wonderful contrast. Great eye contact. Beautiful model. Without looking at the title, this could invoke many different moods for me, including 'interest', 'sadness', 'loneliness', 'sorrow', as well as many others. I love the composition, with her hair blowing across her face. This helps define her face against the white background. I'm not a fan of white backgrounds, but this works very nicely, and I'm sure this will be haning on someone's wall, if it is not already. <7>

Teenage Rebellion

My first thought...what will this teenager think of this picture, 25 or 30 years from now. This is a great image to do in B&W, as it forces the veiw to concentrate on the details of the lips, eyes, and hair. Great detial, and skin textures, with a facial expresssion that says it all. Nice job. <6>

This is a very dreamy image. Takes me back to my childhood, and makes me feel young again. Very interesting image. I love the detail and the color in the bubbles, and the little boy who is so out-of-focus in the background, which gives this image the feel of a childhood playground. Very nicely done. <7>

Amused

This is a very nicely photographed image. Great detail, wonderful lighting, rich colors, good contrast, but for some reason, it does not stir much interest for me. Wish I could explain it, but even with all the great lighting, I just am not able to get excited about this image. <5>

La Lumière du Lys

Hmmmm...looks like the cover or one of those CD's you buy in the store with the real peaceful music on it. I'd expect to hear some nice soft love songs. Very nice exposure, with some interesting back lighting, and detail in the petals so fthe flowers. Nicely done. <6>

Live the Moment...

Hmmmm...looks like the cover or one of those CD's you buy in the store with the real peaceful music on it. It does want me to just kick back and relax as I enjoy the momoent, as I know the moment will be gone before I know it. This is a very nice silhouette, with some great detail in the sky. Incredibly warm, and contrasted with the dark mountains. Nicely done. <6>

Speak softly and carry a big stick

Sometimes I think the titles get in the way. When I look at this image, I see a very nice image with great detail, and crystal clear focus in the face, with a nice out-of-focus shirt and ear, which helps me concentrate on the wonderful photography of the face. HOWEVER...without the title, I can look in this man's face and see sincere passion, or I can see disappointment, or I can see intent listening and concentration. Whatever the "Mood" is, this is a great image, and deserves a very high score. I'm starting off with <8>. I expect to it will be bumped up a bit the second time throough. Good luck on a great image. <8>

Frog

Interesting image. Great use of DOF to make the object stand out. I'm trying to decide in my head whether or not, without the title, I would see the frog as the main object. I think so, because my eye seems to want to follow the flow of the leg and foot, which leads me to the frog. I think, this is a good example of this challenge. Nicely done. <6>

Nice bright colors, sharp focus, but not terribly interesting to look at.
