Despair

Glad you decided to leave the dust on the smooth floor rather than clean it up. It adds to an already very emotional image. Only one niggle, and that's probably pure jealousy on my part - it seems like part of the hand is blown, which distracts me a bit. But over all, very, very nice!

This is gorgeous. Even the thumbnail is pretty. So delicate and a great choice with the portrait orientation. A clear 10 from me!

So much fun to see these giant "x"s in the sky and even more fun when there's a reflection and that's the challenge for the week!

I like this... very symbolic and reflective on a couple of levels. I wonder if it might have even more impact with a strong background color ... but maybe that might be too cheesy? Either way, I like the composition too :-)

This is fantastic. Belated congratulations to you for the very nice placement, but especially for the image. I'm just going through your portfolio now and really enjoying myself. What a capture this one is!

I think this is an incredibly elegant photo. The only tiny criticism I can offer is that except for her face and hands, the skin might be a bit too bright or blown. The texture is my favorite kind, very subtle, enhancing the image instead of taking over. Great muted tones, too. I'd give this a good solid 9 if it were in voting for something :-)

I wonder if he's as grouchy as his son. KIDDING! This is an excellent b&w and your dad has an awesome face.

Pastel Leaves

I really like this. The colors are beautiful! It's nice with that one leaf sort of sticking up away from the rest, adding interest. And in Seattle! (I just saw that ... I love Seattle).

I love reflections-in-windows shots, especially with two buildings. Very nice!
