I like this picture quite a bit.... what are you sniffing? It doesn't look like wine, but I may be wrong... Why did you choose to use the background color you did? I think the tint throws off the color of the drink. Good luck. -8-

Girls are delicate.

This just doesn't say delicate to me at all... in fact... it says the total opposite of "girls are delicate" here they are getting dirty and competitive. As a sports photo, I would suggest a higher shutter speed if possible... also make sure that you check for your horizon line to be straight... they would most likely not be playing soccer on a tilted field, so I hope that the fence would not be tilted... Fairly good emotion on their faces, especially number 13's I'm not sure that this is quite clear either, but that may be because of lower shutter speed, or the focus may be in the wrong spot which happens easily when you are shooting at lower fstops to blur out the background... also check your exposures, the ball and the girl's white shirt seem to be a bit blown out.

This is really a beautifully done photo!!! Great catch here... I love the nice soft focus on the flower, and how in focus the little bug is... I can't imagine this was easy to catch. I can't say enough about how much I love this image... I hope that you get a ribbon!! seriously. Good luck -10-

Taking The Backstreet

For some reason this reminds me a great deal of Arnold Newman's famous 'Red Brick Wall' I like it a lot.. Very nicely done and good use of image grain... what a cool building and awesome graffitti! (nice that the graffitii isn't brightly colored... or maybe you did some desat? I love the streak of light running across it... I think this is a cool image. -10-

Very nice use of grain. Good use of a lot of key elements of photography here... good reflection, nice job getting down and getting a slightly different perspective, and thank you for having something in the foreground to add interest. Good use of rule of thirds as well. I like the sepia!

nice capture!! I always have difficulty getting lighning. While, I know that this may have been difficult, as you had to shoot where you thought you'd get the best lighting... having something in the foreground, or adding something for interest besides just the lightning might have been nice. Personally I don't think the grain adds to the photo, nore does it necessarily detract.

When the Day Is Done...

Personally, I feel you could have played with your lighting and set up a bit more here... I'm not sure the harsh shadows lend well to the photo. The grain is fine for this image... the image just doesn't look coherrent to me for some reason... I'm not drawn in to any one thing...

I like this image a lot... I like the subtle... slightly muted/grayish colors... I think that the image grain adds to the photo, although I can't really put my finger on exactly how. However, the grain does look a little fake to me, and not like what you would get from film. -9-

Rebel

Comment:
GREAT use of grain to enhance this image... gives it a sort of dirty, grungy feel that adds to the rebel you are saying he is in the title. I like this a lot... and I can see it maybe from the 60's or 70' in terms of film and image styles. -10-
