A Cold and Broken Heart
by rjkstesch

Comment:
I really like the theme here. It is well constructed and thought out. However, there are several area where this does not come off well in practice. I don't like the lighting on the ice. The front lighting on the image does not show off a lot of detail in the icy heart. Trying some additional shots with the lighting and different angles to the camera would likely be worthwhile. Also, this image is crying out to be cropped in a very different way - the negative space at the top is almost lost space. I would recommend either cropping it square right around the heart or making the image much smaller in the scene and have substantially more negative space.

Just my two cents!

great image of the tiger - but I really don't like the selective desatuaration in this image. It seems forced in this case.

Thin Ice!

i love the 'expression' of the bird in the back - it's as if it is crying out to the other to be careful of the thin ice

very good composition and lighting on this entry - love that you left it in color so we could see the subtleness of the green

very cool reflection and composition - but the image just seems a littel underexposed

this image is sweet! that is some very cool ice - nice composition - I just would have liked it every so little bit brighter - but I understand that you had an area that would easily get blown out on the left.

i love the colors - I really think this would have worked much better if more of the ice was in view and the trees would have been cropped out more - we are seeing more of the dark background than the image you are trying to show.
