I can see the string. Still, pretty clever shot and for the most part, well done. It would be better with a less fake looking skull.

snail on a leaf?

Comment:
Pretty ordinary occurance. I like the texture of the leaf but the snail looks rather drab. I would like to see far less of the blurred background in the left half of the frame.

Very nice travel photo. I don't see anything out of the ordinary, though.

Walking on Water

Comment:
Funny idea. The photo isn't very sharp though. There's not enough separation of the subject from the water. The mundaned background should have been omitted or blurred completely.

This is a bit to monochromatic to make this an extraordinary veiw for me---everything has a bluish cast, even the trees

These are interesting structures. Extraordinary? Not too. Nice shot for a holiday album.

Hydranthouse

Comment:
It is an out of the ordinary hydrant. Not sure if I would call it extraordninary. To much depth of field allows us to see the very mundane background. The color is very drab.

Could use a bit more contrast to heighten the colors and raindrops. Fairly mundane occurance.

ARGH!!!! Those comments! There is just the right amount of "empty space" to create a sense of place. Nothing is wasted. And are people really complaining about grain in a newspaper challenge? Egads! This was my favorite for this challenge. It had an actual headline, relevence, artistic merit, the works. I'm really disappointed to see it place in the middle.

You seem to have the lighting, outfit, backdrop very well planned. The model has lovely coloring which you've captured well with the lighting. She seems a bit nervous---I'd suggest something to loosen her up a bit if she is willing to sit for you again. Some wine, music she likes....something to make her a bit more comfortable with the process.
