On The Battle Field

Really nice shot. Another shot in the challenge shows some Civil War guys in a similiar pose. While you captured the action that the other shot sadly missed, this shot would be even better with a reduced DoF like the other. Still, very nicely done.

Sound Of The Leaves

Nice idea. Think it would be a bit beter without the leave on the violin. At least not on the f-holes. You really want to show the f-holes on a violin shot, they make the instrument. Good luck!

Really nice. Perfect dof, great colors and contrast. Only way it could be better would be to have caught him right as he shot so there was some action there at the end of the barrel. Interested to see how this fares when voting ends. One of my fav shots in the challenge. Unfortunately being one of my favs probably does not bode well for you lol.

I'm sorry but if you had this very hot girl at your disposal for a shoot, and this was the best of the shoot... The lighting here is very poor. Nothing is really in focus. Maybe you were going for a soft focus approach, but it's not working here. Strangely I think this would be about 10 times better rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Then it would be a sexy pose even if it would appear as if she were hovering. Sorry to be harsh, but I could kick you for teasing me with this pretty women and not delivering.

Really cool. Too bad you didn't get the whole fireball in the frame, but cool nontheless. Good luck!

Nice concept. Processing is overdone. Dodged out all details from the top of the fingers. Burned the bottom of the chin almost into the background. Neck is also burned a bit much making this look like a floating head. Slightly different angle would also have prevented the eyelashes of his right eye from appearing as a tuft of hair on the nose. Bit of haloing visible along the ridge of the nose and the outline of the hand. Overall, nice shot. No doubt it will score extremely well.

The lady in purple reincarnated as Ms Dodge and Burn. Good luck!

Purple Haze

Not bad, not great, not very engaging. I wonder how this would look cropped down so the tree is more prominent and the purple tones dominate the sky rather than look like they are being crushed by that incoming wave of blue. Good luck!

edit: on uncalibrated piece of junk work monitor running 16 bit color, the sky is more purple than blue. Damn color management!

I've just let all sorts of reds and pinks and all other sorts of colors pass as 'might possibly be purple' but I just can't see purple here. Speaking directly to the photo, it is very dark and unfortunately it appears as if you focused on the hair instead of the object in the foreground. Good luck.

Curves

Cropped tighter, the curves, gradients and reflections might make for a very interesting shot. Cropped this way, I feel like I'm flipping through a catalog picking out a coffee mug to print my logo on. Good luck.
