Fantastic shot! Very riveting... Makes me think of my own dad. I should call him. =) Thanks!

Wow - great night shot! The only thing I can comment on is that I might have liked to see the background (non-bridge elements) a little darker to make the bridge stand out a bit more. Still, excellent!

Nice portraiture - a bit much dodging in the eyes. But great bokeh, good expression, and nice color tone.

Nice crisp shot. The glasses almost look real on my monitor. Good tonal range. I might have liked a touch more light from the front, but that's a debatable nit.

Overall excellent! (You probably wish I could vote in this challenge. =)

First storm of the fall

I think this shot is great (clever twist - most of the hair-blown models are ladies). I think it simply falls a little short technically. The focus could be a bit crisper, and the color is a bit flat.

Note: revisiting on a nicer monitor shows better color after all.

Windmill in the Sky

Comment:
Nice motion blur. The sky against the back of the windmill looks a touch unnatural - is there a lot of levels or saturation in the PP here? Anyway, good shot.

Wow - nice portraiture! (If that's a word!) I love that the face is crisp and sharp from the tip of her nose back to her eyes (many get one and not the other), and then the focus fades away. Very pleasing backlighting.

The only thing that's a bit off is that her left eye is shadowed more than her right, which unbalances her eyes, just a bit.

Still, I like it! 8!

Revised after more voting -> I like it a lot! 9

Technicall very good - crisp focus, the near monotone green is very nice. Great work!
