I know your looking for a crituque but dude this is AMAZING! the border helps it look like an inspirational poster. im going to the north georgia mountains next week and im definately inspired to go now. this is wonderful. all i can come up with to possibly change(and its a stretch to say this) is maybe bump the contrast on the sky just slightly. I dont think i wold if i were you but i cant think of anything else that maybe be wrong with this.

this one looked so impressive to me as a thumbnail i was hoping for a little bit more when i opened it. it would be really nice if all of one thing was focused. like the whole shoe. or all the water, preferably both but i know how hard that really is to accomplish. i like your idea, the crop is close that from a personal stand point it makes me nervous for your cameras safety. lol ;) i hope you didnt get it wet! liek the composition too. nice idea

this is really nice. all id suggest is cloning out the dark spot in the upper left hand corner since cropping it out would make that side way too tight. also maybe burning the bright spot on the tree between them. and possiblydarkening the jacket of the man on the left. it seems a tad too bright. but just the tiniest bit, almsot an unnotticable amount. lovely photo. Luckiy you, such handsome models :)

I gave this an 8. In comparison to what I usually get for scores to me this one scored pretty well but im sure you hoped for more. technically everything seems great. the clouds are beautiful, and the focus is great. especially on your arm. the only thing i dont like is that your head is cut off. but even if it were just your arms that would have been odd. i think it would have been much better without a person in it at all. hope that helps. :)

now that the challenge is over i'd be really interested in seeing what you would do with this in advanced editing. if the windows were a little darker/more reflective and the cross and black line across the roof were slightly darker i think it would look really cool. but thats just my opinion. i went for an angled shot for this challenge too. i like that perspective for this shot. may have helped to crop it a bit off center. but as it is its fantastic. especially for a first entry. im excited to see whats yet to come from you. and if your going to be at the Atlanta GTG this weekend, see you there!

i think the top half is absolutely perfect. i'd love to see a lot more contrast on the bottom and perhaps a soft glow/highlight around the man as he seems to blend in alot and I feel he should be more of a focal point, although contrast may be enough to fix that anyway. i think the angle is great, adds a lot of life to a shot that would be pretty boring if it had been shot straight on. nice work!

Love the brochure/ad photo look youve given this. there is some odd "cloudiness" in this though around the top of the door. It extends off the door to the overhang supports and some of the brick as well. im not sure what that is. but would like this much better if that were removed.

this pose is interesting. id love to see more of the face. but i like the hat too so maybe if there were a light shining up toward her face to illuminate it. and although i like the slightly harsh lighting on her and the tone of the light on the bricks id prefer a more even lighting on the bricks. either all yellowish light or all of it unlite. know what i mean? good composition.
