Around the wall.

You've met the challenge and shown a part of something. I don't find that it was done in a very compelling way, however. This composition appears random and unthought out to me. There is nothing in this composition to hold my interest in terms of subject matter. As an abstract, it fails to appeal to me, also. The lines, shape, and color don't create enough visual harmony or dynamic interest for me.

Nice high contrast image. The connection to the challenge seems rather tenuous. Quite a bit of the tree is in the shot. There really isn't much left out to give the viewer a strong impression that he is only seeing part of the tree.

The Best PART of Waking Up...

Nice background lighting. The coffee looks good. The highlight on the handle is a bit intense.

This is a very good photo for a family album. From an objective point of view, I find it kind of boring. Technically it is good but it is a familiar take on a familiar subject. I'm not seeing anything that really pulls me in. I do like the play of light and shadow on the road. It's just not enough to interest me.

The Blue Window

Great eye for color and composition. I like the positioning of the window. Unfortunately, I find that the plaque and the surrounding decorative painting detracts from the simplicity. It might be possible to crop out the bottom section and retain some of the vitality of the composition. The tension will be a bit different but it still could work.

Really odd and interesting! It's like a weird painting.

Good pose and concept. The flash lighting and the resulting red-eye and flat detail make it look rather like a snapshot. Also, I would prefer that his feet weren't cut off.

La Femme

Love the braids, the specs, and the high key lighting. I kind of wish the top of her head weren't cropped off and I'm not nuts for the desaturated look of her skin.

Nice soft lighting and focus. I don't care for the woman's expression or pose. She doesn't appear comfortable being photographed in this manner.
