You were in London and didn't suggest a GTG or communal shooting day?! ;o)
Really conveys London weather!

An absolutely charming portrait. This really strikes me as very professional, very intriguing, highly individualistic and just the kind of work I could see hanging in some top notch art gallery. It's wonderful! Only -ve = the blow out on the wall to the right which could be corrected with a little spot editting after the challenge if you wanted.

Something stark and soft about this portrait all at once. The pose and the light in his/ her eyes is so tender. The rich black background and the texture in the material give a starkness too. Wonderful portrait.

Great angle - wonderful angles, great light and reflections of light, wonderful sleekness of texture of the links. Very nice indeed.

Sweet idea and definitely communitcates that shy, worrying nature.
Exposure could be improved - too much blow out on her left foot (right as we look at it) and elsewhere too.

Absolutely terrific range of tones from such rich black to beautiful whites. Nice use of shallow DOF to direct attention to foregound leaf and it's curled tip - also gives a delightful softness to the one at the top back. Composition is very strong indeed for me.

Lovely detail to the top with the cobwebs draping their silk over the seed head. Nice use of DOF also. Not so keen on so much darkness to left side of frame.

Interesting semi-silhouette aspect yet enough detail to add interest. A great interplay of the shapes of the two boys, the net and the ball itself. Intriguing coastal location too.

Excellent use of high contrast to really show the texture of the worn wood and accretions. Love that nail with the number on the head. How intriguing. An excellent image.

Intriguing abstract with nice fanning diagonals and well placed egg. Interesting shadows too but too dark overall for my preferences.
