Nice high key portrait. How about cropping up an inch or two to get rid of the out of focus forground? Distracting jaggies on your finger/shoulder. Still love the pose/lighting.

Beautiful woman, nice lighting. Some thing strange about her pose, is she looking down at you? Her neck seems a bit squished and there is a dark shadow under her chin, a higher vantage point would have helped with the shadow and maybe extented her neck, In this position she looks uncomfortable. Still a top notch shot!

This shot is so awesome, you had to get it validated :) How about a bit more contrast to make it a ten!

Well done, good pose. A couple of things bother me though. her "crack" is peeking out at the top of her suit and the shadow cast on her boob by her other boob, a little fill light on your right would have helped fill this in. Otherwise an excellent shot.

CRASH!

I am surprised there is only one symbol crashing shot, I thought that would be the shot of the week, you did it well, I can hear it. Too much "noise"(grainy) in the shot, perhaps a run through neat image.
After further thought, how many people have drum sets :). Just because I do and you do doesn't mean everyone else does:)

Very nice, is that infrared? How can it be lonely, it's got a little friend down the way :). Love the inclusion of the fence, adds more depth.

Ahhh, DOF at it finest. I only wish he had cut that string first. Also wish he was looking at the guitar. Oh well, minor nits, awesome shot as is.

Very nice, maybe a bit more room up top, even better.

Hi there, nice representation of the challenge.

Composition is very good with the placement of the slide in the background, I am thinking getting in a little closer might have improved the composition by getting rid of some distracting elements.

Color
There is something off, looks a bit too pink/purple(esp. in the bark), did you change the colors/saturation? or does your camera give you this type of cast?

cropping and rotating a couple of pixels CCW would help with the tilt.

Good title, suits the image well.

Good luck with future challenges!

Great photojournalistic type shot!

Meets the challenge
OK, I do see all three primary colors but they aren't very obvious, I think to do well in this challenge the colors had to be pretty distinguishable.

Composition
Looks like you may have been limited here in order to get a reflection so it's pretty good considering. The line that runs up the right side might look better if you straightened it out a bit. The distortion in the mirror compared to the glass is cool, it looks like his leg is bent in a unnatural way.

Exposure
Looks right on.

Lighting
is good, looks well saturated. Shot in the shade?

Title is nice, works well with the photo and ties it more into photojournalism. Unfortunatley this site doesn't give high merits to photojournalistic shots, it is a totally different art form then the studio type shots that do well here.

You obviously have an eye for good shots, keep up the good work.
