Like this one.. the tilt is perfect.. you have mastered that bvy - I like your pp on this too.. the little boy on the right really makes the shot - so much can be read into his expression.

As I commented in the last post .. you seem to have a real talent in showing women at their finest.. grace, beauty and well photographed.

bvy put it best -"Effective use of shadows and light to show life, motion" - I love shadows too and wish I was as talented at getting good street shots as you and others who post here are..there is something haunting about their feet in this shot.. almost like they are puppets.. marching to something against their will ... or I am getting very fanciful as I age. :)

This and your other photo of a woman really stand out.. you capture their grace and give them an elegance by getting them in just the right frame.. the way her neck is turned, the way her foot is raised.. the manner in which her skirt hangs in gentle folds... beautifully done.

wonderfully framed and I like the lighting - the way it makes the bright yellow box around the people is interesting.. nice the way the mannequin and the people are graduated in size ... nicely composed.

I really like how the texture/color in the fur blends in with the wall - great natural camouflage for the animal - well exposed shot, great focus - your composition is good, the red flowers a nice touch - getting the glint in the eye is often very difficult and adds so much to the shot.. love the light, the shadow adds interest, great angle .. can't think of anything to suggest to improve this photo... bumping the score

This is a wonderful shot and suits the spirit of the challenge well - the color of the red berry in the bird's mouth is echoed in the color of the bird's face.. just a delight on the eye.. great detail in the feathers.. excellent job getting the catch light in it's eye.. the composition of this photo is strong.. well done

Beautiful little fox and an appropriate title given their love of raiding the chicken house :) Nice catch light in it's eyes - I like the composition, it looks like it is resting it's snout on the triangle in the bottom left hand corner which fits with it's sleepy yet watchful eyes .. I think cloning out the white patches about the head of the fox would be helpful as my eyes go there, also, on my monitor, there the space beside the nose of the fox is a little hot - hard to do much about that given the circumstances of the challenge.. not like you can drag the fox into a studio I know.. nicely photographed.

love the detail in this pure white bird. excellent exposure, great job getting such crisp focus on it's feathers.. the b/g is perfect, love the muted reds in the lower left hand side.
