Is it Nixter, or an imitator? ;-)

Great b&w treatment. I love the movement in this, I wonder if some will find fault because the skateboarder is not sharp?

I know we like images that pop, but these deer seem almost radioactive. However, I'm sure the entry will do well.

Funny enough moment I guess, but way too saturated for my taste.

Excellent clarity, though the light (flash) seems harsh.

Of course this is from Alfredo, having seen and admired the ribbon-winning version in another challenge. I love the exotic location and subjects, however, I think this version suffers from the lighting, which seems too artificial for the setting, and also from the model's expression, which the close-up reveals is just a bit too posed. However, overall this is still more interesting than many other more technically perfect entries, so I can't fault it too much. :-)

Very nice light and fine composition. Could it be a bit sharper, or would that take away from the "painterly" feel?

Nice treatment on this, but I feel like to pull the camera down and/or back a bit to see the entire cactus.

Anyone for Polka?

Congrats on a well deserved top ten entry. I *love* the crop, my only criticism is that the skin seems air-brushed. I'm wondering if you added a bit of soft focus? Anyhow, overall very good!

It was an itsy bitsy....

I wish the model's face was a bit more brightly lit, however, the emphasis *is* clearly on the polka-dots. Very nice portrait and meets the challenge beautifully.

I wonder how many users have never heard the song "She wore an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polka dot bikini?"
