Three Ducks

Great exposure on the cloud! Lovely tones and contrast with the silhouettes. I would probably have cropped a little differently, and left out the lagging duck.

Rain, Rain, Stay and Play!

It looks more like the hose, as the raindrops are missing in the top right. Nice shutter speed to blur the rain.

A nice angle and good use of DOF here. 7

Beaute Naturelle

Beautiful! Great angle on the portrait shot. The eyes and the catchlights are fantastic. The only thing that distracts me is the portion of the slip/dress below the strap in the bottom right corner. I think there's just too much/little for balance, and my eye gets drawn there rather than to the face. Excellent exposure though!

Path Through The Woods

Comment:
A wonderfully dreamy shot. This is the kind of shot that looks really great with a bit of soft focus. I'd love to take a stroll down that path. An evocative shot!

Edit: There are a couple of rectangular items in the shot, off in the distance a bit, that could be mistaken for rubbish. I still give it a 7 though. Great lighting :)

Winner!

Nice candid moment. It would have been nice to capture him with his hand all the way up in the air.

Shadow Dance

Great use of light and shadow. A touch more sharpness would have been great for my tastes. A most curious border also.

Nice portrait. I think the highlights on the nose and in the beard a just a tiny little bit blown out. Great separation from the background though.

Birds of a feather

Nice shadow. I wonder if you could have somehow modified the angle to show the white feather completely on the black background, with the shadow on the light background. Nevertheless, the tonal transition looks good. No spot editing has got to be frustrating too (I've got a dead pixel of my own to worry about). 7

killing time - an artist and a chauffeur

There's something about this composition - the anonymity of the shot and the relaxed urban feel to it - that really works for me. I could just sit here too, and stare at whatever the two main subjects are staring at. I don't think this would have worked nearly as well in colour. 8.
