I Will Get Him Lessons!

Nice portrait but the guitar is big and too brightly lit and distracts my attention away from the main subject. I do, however, like the way the boys hair and shirt blend in with the dark background. I think you should have emphasized that more in this shot.

Nice landscape...well composed and nice muted colors. I like the lighting as well, but there's nothing in the shot to help me determine scale.

Go for it!

This shot is very well composed. I like how my eye is lead into the picture from the biz card to the man and then to the non-distracting background. Colors are neutral and natural, and do not distract from the subject. Only things I find to be somewhat bothersome is the cloud hovering over the guy's head (minor) and the biz card is too bright. Well done!

You don't show much detail to the coin and along with the grey background makes for an uninteresting composition.

Light a bit harsh from use of the flash, but you've captured the color and tones of the books well. They are appealing to my eye but it seems like not much thought went into design of the composition.

Wish you had zoomed in more to isolate the bird better to help eliminate and blur the distracting background. Tone and color are really good, but the pic is a real stretch to meet the challenge theme.

A bit too busy, and I find the glare coming off the foiled kisses too distracting. The colors are great.

What detail and color! Focus on the eyes is great and I love how you've seperated this owl's from it's surroundings. I also like the way you've made the connection to the challenge theme. Original and well done! Good luck.

Beautiful portrait! Very cute. Just think a little too dark on the kids right side.

Yeah, but you should be reading photography text books...lol...not The Rings.
Image is too orange/yellow for my tastes and I don't like the shadow at the top.
