7 - Nice capture. Criticism; mainly the bottom and left crop/'cutting'. Perhaps a fraction more centered too, not sure. Nice contrasting 'warm feel' to this, especially in her hair, compared to the seemingly gray sky/clouds above - if 'that' could be emphasized 'somehow' may have given this just a little extra in my opinion. edit:typo

Yellow Tulips

Comment:
7 - Nice. Nice color(s). Criticism; difficult, as the best focus is on the leaves/straps, which looks intentional, but perhaps if just a fraction more detail in either the middle or right flowers/color may have made this even better in my opinion. Maybe some more light 'play' incorporated. More finely tuned cropping bottom left corner too.

7 - Nice portrait/character capture. Toning works well. Criticism; not much, perhaps either cropping even tighter at the top to eliminate that hair upper right, but minor and changes the face/expression slightly so not sure. Typo in your title, unless it is deliberate.

Creek With Snow

4 - Good potential. Criticism; the apartments/chalets/whatever detract in my opinion from the overall feel of this shot, including their color. Perhaps this with toning or b&w may have been better not sure. I think this even cropped, still using this good sharp perspective (even sharper be better), trying to get a fraction more detail in the water/creek/ice/snow, and cropped at the bend of the creek/just before the 'railing'/fence, may have made this even better in my opinion, although obviously - a quite different shot.

5 - Looks like good potential. Criticism; horizon seems crooked. A little more detail in the fore rocks and reflections if possible, would have also made this better in my opinion.

Night Eyes

6 - Your call obviously on the b&w/toning, works well, especially with the feather patterns. Criticism; difficult due to the processing and grain involved, just like to see the eyes a bit sharper/dominant.

Crunch Time

7 - Wow, good close up and perspective. The bird looks huge. Criticism; difficult with the 'opportunity shot', but just a bit more detail in the feathers, perhaps just a 'fraction' more zoom out, just seems a bit too close focus wise, but hard to discern and if the 'blown' parts were 'fixed', make this even better in my opinion. Maybe also a selective desaturation to 'enhance' the illusion of the bird, somehow, not sure.

Blinds

2 - For a shot like this to work, it has to have something interesting behind it, be it a pattern, shape or object, etc in my opinion. Also, either perfect symmetry or 'offset' of the blinds would have helped this. The lighting coming through also dominates this in my opinion.

'trust'
by suemack

Comment:
7 - Nice capture. The grain and toning work well here in my opinion. Criticism; difficult, maybe a fraction more space (if you had it, obviously) under the tail, the shirt folds detract, but fairly minor, maybe a slight softening/blurring of the background to help the 'trusting one' pop a little more, not sure.

Our Father

7 - This shot opens itself up to a variety of interpretations on what this is about/story it tells, in my opinion. Good and unusual capture. The gold, especially the candleholders in the background, add a good element. Criticism; not much, perhaps emphasizing that 'gold' (including the cross) 'somehow', a little sharper as well, not sure about the reflection on the temple/head, because that could add to 'stories' too. Perhaps a more refined cropping and as just mentioned, trying to gain a fraction more 'depth' and 'drama' overall in this shot, may have made this even better in my opinion.
