2010 - Evolution of the North American compact car

Nice light on the outside of the car. I'm not so sure about the blue inside : ) I don't know if this would have been feasible, but almost all car ads have a wet ground. That creates a reflection of the car, which makes the image a bit catchier. I think that if you added water to the ground, it would have made this pop!

I'm not exactly sure what this product is. It might be easier for me to figure it out if I saw a little more of one of the sides too instead of an almost straight-on shot.

Product shots are usually characterized by very "clean" shots. This is not as clean as I would have liked. The main light is too hard and casts distracting shadows on the background. The texture of the background is also distracting (check any magazine--the backgrounds rarely have texture). The exposure between the ambient light and the screen is pretty well done, but I would have exposed the screen just a little longer so that the "white" part of the screen would actually be white. Then you could bring down the "blacks" of the screen in post-processing.

Gorgeous light and an overall very clean, beautiful image! Centered composition works perfectly. Her stare is arresting.

Wow, you shot this with a lens that goes down to f/3.5 but you still managed to shoot at f/2! Impressive : )

Congrats on the ribbon!

I Love My Baba

She has an incredible face. I'm not sure if it's the camera or the processing (based on the great lighting, I'm going with processing), but it looks like there was a fair amount of data loss, which hurts the quality. There also appears to be a lot of chromatic abberation (particularly noticeable in the heavy cyan halo on the top right side of her head). It's too bad about the quality because this is an otherwise great image!

I Love my Big Sister

The light on their faces looks great. I love how the light falls off right at the edge of the frame on the left. I think the hair light (particularly on the girl) is too bright and there should be a little more light on the boy's pants so he doesn't blend in with the background so much. Otherwise, great capture of their expressions.

Sisters in Life - Friends at Heart

Lighting them from below (which is called "monster light" for a reason!) unfortunately counteracts any feelings of love in the image. The light creates dark bags under their eyes and ominous shadows behind them. The dark clothing doesn't help the mood either.

I love rock and roll!

I love the pose, but I wish there was a little more light on her face. Pull her away from the background and use a shallower depth of field would to turn the background into soft tones (and help hide the wrinkles!).

"Oh, thanks! ... I LOVE cheese..."

Comment:
I think the ungroomed-ness of the mouse's fur gives off a slightly "diseased" feeling (usually only sick animals don't groom). I think that takes away from what could be an absolutely adorable image. The idea is great and the moment is perfect--the mouse's expression is cute and he seems very possessive of his cheese : )
