Paris, Las Vegas

Good composition, but not enough sharpness in the shot to keep my interest. This duotone doesn't quite work for me. 5

Mercy

Nice, sensitive portrait. The green eyes have been overdone here though. Shame the backlighting on the hair is overexposed. I find the background a bit too distracting. Great model... but there's something about her expression and her mouth that seems a bit awkward. Good composition, but perhaps a tighter crop could have worked better... do you really need space at the top of her head? 6

Fall
by ursula

Comment:
Some beautiful light, and I like the neatimaged clouds but the composition here is a bit chaotic to me. I'm not really sure what the pof is here. The trees and hills look way oversharpened... to the point of actually losing detail. 6

The Walk

Nice shot... conjures up an emotive sense of ennui. I wish the man didn't blend so much into the background though. Not quite sure about the composition... too much room on the left of the frame and the boy on the right is too centered for my taste. It feels like it was an arbitrary decision to frame it like this because you didn't want to be unimaginative and place everything dead centre. The pylons on the right are a bit distracting. 6

Wish I Knew What You Were Thinking

Great capture, the eyes are extremely expressive here. The composition/crop seems a bit of an afterthought though, the eyes look oversharpened and the dof is too shallow. The white background element on the left of the frame should have been cloned out, it's quite distracting. The overall gamma seems very high, the photo looks a bit washed out. I'd lower the gamma and increase the contrast. 6

Munising Falls

Nice waterfall shot, but rather oversharpened. There's a plant to the left of the frame in front of the waterfall which is a bit distracting. Shame the waterfall itself is a little overexposed. 6

Naughty .... but nice

This shot doesn't really do a lot for me, but is well taken, evenly lit, effective background, good use of dof. There's a bit too much glare on the strawberry which you could have removed with a polariser. 6

In the Fangs of Shadow
by librodo

Comment:
Great portrait, good choice of subject. The face is much too high contrast for my taste though, and I don't think the out-of-focus hand works in the foreground. Great expression captured. 6

Lancing College
by marbo

Comment:
Nice colours here, and an interesting building, but the overall composition and use of silhouettes is not quite 'clean' enough for my taste. Perhaps a panoramic crop might have suited this better. It's a shame the treeline in front of the college isn't more simple. 6

Bear River Marshes

Great view, and nice sky, but there's not enough detail to keep my eye in the frame for long. The shot needs something else to keep the interest. 6
