Here's my two cents... :)

First of all, the image looks a little bit grainy. I've noticed sometimes that when I convert the image to black and white, that I'll get the same grain on my images. I have no idea what the original shot looked like of course, but perhaps the color one would have worked better. Secondly the composition is rather akward. Half of the photo is the black lap-top screen. If there had been any way to move that out of the way that might have helped increase the impact of the photo. Also, there appears to be something that almost looks like dust on the right side of the photo.

I hope this was helpful... I REALLY like the joyous expression you have captured on the woman's face - beautiful! :)

Wild! :) I like all the bright colors and contrasts here, and the way the sparks burst out from the corner is great. However, as much as I like the sparks... I personally think they have taken over the photo too much, and make the whole thing too confusing at first glance. If there had been any way to control the composition more, and perhaps take this from a slightly different angle so that the sparks didn't cover up so much of the person, that might have helped. Excellent shot though! :)

I was delighted when I saw this - the skillful lighting is so delicate. Everything is so soft, smooth, and lovely. And that expression is perfect. ;) I LOVE it!

and then the photographer lost control of the model.....

My only complaint here is the cropping - with the subject's ears and wrist cut off the photo feels somehow cramped for space. However, I really like the lighting!

The Stories they Could Tell

Well, here's my two cents. :)

The lighting needs some work... the picture is a bit under-exposed. Secondly, it's hard to tell, but I think the image might be just slightly out of focus. Also, I would advise not cropping the subject's ear, and trying to create a more interesting composition. Excellent try though - I like what you were trying to capture here. :)

Thank You Love!

This is nicely done, however most of the photo appears to have a faint greenish cast to it... if there was any way to fix that that might improve the image. Otherwise this is great!
