Yeah, definitely spooky.. The reflections look almost ghostly.. and this is one picture where grain does really add to the atmosphere.. Nice!

#2 Passing Time

Comment:
I find the lighting to be slightly more subdued then I'd like but it's still rather dramatic and contrasts well with the more serene set up inside..

5 - My Favorite Daughter

Comment:
Very pretty potrait.. Logically the lighting shouldn't have worked with it being everywhere except on the face but it does.. Nice job!

Great lighting.. though I would have liked more of the profile with the nose being more of a feature..

I adore the way the people come out looking.. I like the spotty bits and the contrast though I would have preferred if the cloud had been retained.. it just balanced the picture a bit..

Snow Falling on Cedar

Comment:
I can see that the best focus seems to be at the tip so pulling the composition towards more negative space would have been better..The contrast would have shown the glittery bits of ice better.. The dof causes the rest of the ice seem oof and the eye goes straight to that part rather then what should the focus.. Great find though..

Tundra

This picture seems to not have more of a defined focus point and that is it's biggest problem... and perhaps not enough contrast in colour..

Winter Berries
by cpanaioti

Comment:
The image is very pretty.. The colours and composition work really well.. While the dof makes the picture it could also be letting it down a little.. The berries are just not tack sharp dpc style and that makes the viewer feel that it's slightly oof.. Also I would have liked the two branches to be positioned in the frame slighly apart..

Web of Wood
by Donna21

Comment:
The texture of the wood really pops out and contrasts well with the white. And it's a strong geometric shape..
It's a simple picture and that's its strength and weakness.. This was limited scorewise definitely because of the competition typical for free studies ..
