Lovely colours but not so keen on the central composition - feels a little unbalanced to me.

Lovely sky colours and good foreground detail.

Nice textures and interesting combo of materials and metal objects. Don't like sepia choice - seems too "Little House on the Prairie" for the sunject matter chosen.

Initial thoughts
Really like the concept – very subtle and thought-provoking.

Composition/ Content
The concept itself is a clever one – and I particularly like how the image itself doesn’t tell us whether you are saying that change is good, bad, inevitable or perhaps none of the above. All it shows us is that many changes have happened in our life times, some major and some minor.
In terms of the image itself, I like the angle of the viewpoint as well as the diagonal of the ipaq within the frame. It̢۪s nice that the diagonal is set against the (almost) horizontal and vertical lines of the reflected calendar.
In my opinion the reflection could be a little brighter, though really not much, because the fact it̢۪s less clear than the ipaq supports the idea that it̢۪s a ghost from the past.
Lighting on the ipaq seems uneven with a lot more around the navigation buttons than elsewhere.

Background
Clean, rich, appropriate.

Fits The Challenge
Definitely.

My Opinion On The Photo
I like the concept and the thoughts this image provokes better than I like the image visually.

What I dislike here is the horizontal concrete path in the foreground. I think standing a few feet to the right, at the start of the path that is going away into the distance and cropping out the horizontal one would have been better. That's just my opinion though, obviously.

Would have worked better for me had you used a fill in flash or other light on the foreground objects. Nice idea though.

B&W Magazine (The Joys of Summer)

A lovely shot with a lot of emotion captured in it. I love the way the hat is hiding the baby's face - makes one think more about what expression he/ she has and also allows mums to fantasise that this idyllic picture is one of their own little bundles of joy. I imagine it would be a good picture for the front of a parenting magazine too.
Nice composition though I'd have liked the fence to extend just a little higher up. Whites seem to be blown out a little yet overall the image is a touch dark.

Great pose, model looks great, nice composition, poor lighting - her face and body front are in too much shadow imo. Perhaps shoot same shot at different time of the day?

Nice idea and cool lighting. Image seems a bit soft though. In terms of composition would prefer beaker to be either higher or lower within the frame.
