Still Puzzled

While I like the toning of the capture, the blurred foreground is a bit distracting to me. I do like the shallow depth of field, I'd just prefer that the focus was more toward the from than the dead center of the photograph. Very interesting shadows and great texture.

I like the selective desaturation, but he really gets lost in the busy background. I think a little closer composition would help a great deal.

The lighting is a little off. The shadows are on your subject, while the highlights are limited to the background. Spinning him around and shooting from the other side would be a big help.

Great lighting and nice tones, but this one makes me think too much. I like the various tones produced by the different lighting.

Man, that's gonna suck, but it sure is good for clearing the sinuses. Great timing and great capture, but the tilt really bothers me. Its one of my biggest pet peeves.

HA! My wife is the same way! I like the idea, but the backlighting is a little too harsh. A darker curtain or temporary backdrop would have been an improvement.

Just a bit too dark and noisy. A little neat image would have improved upon this image. Nice idea and well composed.

Interrupted Cleavage

Great composition and near-flawless lighting. I do find the bright light at the bottom left of the squash-thingy a little distracting. This one fits into the challenge nicely. Nice image overall.

Man, I've been there. Waiting on the laundry and contemplating where the why the hell I let life lead me to this spot. Great job with the toning. You produced a great photograph that is full of emotion. I can't tell if that's a slight tilt or a very wide lens, but it is a little distracting. I think that its a tilt to the right.

Excellent! Priceless body expression and really nice composition. The image is just a little too soft, and I'd like to see the stairs level and without that right hand tilt. Wonderful colors and toning.
