I am bothered by the fact that the tip of his nose is out of focus. It's crazy; who cares. Yet, it's such a prominent feature, and everything else is sharp.. I'm also bothered by the blackness around the eye in the shadow would have loved to see some detail here. I suppose in this strong lighting the choice was either lose detail in shadows or blow the highlights, and in the end, this is the right choice.

It's a haunting image - a really strong model with a really strong expression.

Very nice. The lines of the lights are quite good enough, but the bridge is icing on the cake.

Sharpening was a requirement to bring out the strong texture of the skin, yet I'm finding it just a little too strong, a little too distracting.

Clever, cute, but it just seems a little too vacuous.

Love the colors! Nice composition, though perhaps a bit static.

The cracks in the ice and the spherical floats are very photogenic. So, too is the hull of the nearest boat. Pretty much everything else detracts from the photo IMO.

Miles Davis is said to have 'played the spaces between the notes,' This reminds me of that.

It's an interesting building and a good shot of it. Yet there is something very ordinary about it.

Tulips have great lines, and they are well captured in this high-key image. The gaussian blur for diffuse light effect works well here.
