Natural Woman

Just beautiful. The soft light emphasises her very even skin. The hair across her face and her expression are great. I see some very subtle toning. Her lips are slightly purple, the highlights on the right seem to have a different tone than the women, very subtle. I wonder how it looks without the color on the lips and with a very tight crop, making it a portrait format.

Love that look, so much concentration, great catch. The light is nice and soft, the background colors add a special touch. Just a great image.

A beautiful scene with a very surreal atmosphere, I like it. Maybe the left side could have had a bit more color to balance the right but a good job anyway.

Nice minimalistic approach, good to have that person as focal point. Maybe even more balanced without the red clouds in front, but I realise you can't just blown them away, have to catch the moment.

Paris, Las Vegas

I like the angle of view and coloring of this image. Some parts look to loose some detail as result of overexposure, especially towards the top of the tower.

A Study in Color

Comment:
A technically perfect image with great primary colors, composition and lighting. A good specimen as well. It unfortunately fails to touch me emotionally like some other good images in this challenge do, which is why it ends up a bit lower in my ranking.

All the Good Things

Very nice atmosphere, great clouds and reflection. I am missing some focal point and find the left edge distracting. It looks like a small boat is coming into the picture at the edge, cropping that away, up to the middle of the first large tree, would have improved the image in my opinion.

Night Torch

I like the night time atmosphere with all the balloon enthusiasts getting together, the warm glow in the front and the silhouettes and small lights at the back. I probably would have cropped a significant part of the top (without hurting the silhouettes) and a bit of the left, to get a bit more concentrated view.

The Kozak

Show the horse !! For me that is such an essential element, belonging to a kozak. But a good portrait anyway.
