Schoolgirl Reflections

Good capture of spontaneous activity. The girls add a dynamic sense of motion (looking for sure, considering jumping over maybe). While the others on the street add context, The umbrella does echo color in the girls, but I wonder how this would look recropped to just barely exclude all people except the three girls.

Not For Lack of Love

Wonderful sense of genuine togetherness among the subjects. Wouldn't hurt to crop away some of the darker area of white bedding at the bottom.

Very sweet pose. Colors play together nicely.

Cholla Cactus (Joshua Tree)

I am enjoying how well you handled the sky and clouds. As a composition, the winding trail provides the most interest. I have a hard time deciding if this is mostly about the trail, or mostly about the vast broad landscape with big sky and endless cacti. From this vantage point, putting emphasis on the trail might work wello (using a portrait crop). Wonder if there was an opportunity during shooting to step to the right enough to make the path more of a diagonal element.

Does draw me in and make me want to learn more. The size of the bright area on the back wall takes me away from this interesting subject. Mabye consider a crop that eliminates the back pan close to the wall while retaining a bit of that orange container in front.

Fresno Fireworks - Airline Endangerment

From the title, I presume the dark tubular diagonal with red spots is an airliner during a long exposure. Wish the fireworks part could be more graphic.

Love how the churning slush in the lower right came out.

Spot on for the challenge, high key without glare fits perfectly, tilt of the mother's head combined with the curve of the breast gives a peaceful circular rhythm to the image that leads echos the draping and causes the eye to investigate the entire image repeatedly. Should score high.

When Snowballs Attack

Exuberance well-captured. Nice job with exposure in a setting with a challenging dynamic range. Cropping to remove the rear end of the person bending over would help, but leave the leg and arm with gloved hand of the other person so as not to eliminate the element of context. Seven.
