Ethan, Dirty Face and All

Wonderful portrait, the limited dof works well here. Superb expression, lots of detail. Great eyes. The composition lets it down for me though. Is it trying to be centered, or off centre? This looks in-between like the photographer couldn't make up their mind as to where to place him in the frame. I'd have cropped closer and lost more of the forehead. 7

Shadowboxer

Great idea, you seem to have gone to a lot of effort for this one! I think I'd have liked more sharpness here, especially your model's face. By your shallow dof, you intended the pof to be on the shadow, but my eye rests on the boxer first... so I would have increased the dof. 7

Misty Morning

Wonderful shot, but the foreground is too oversharpened for my taste. I feel this has taken away from the power of the shot. Great composition. I'm not quite sure about the colours chosen for your duotone... I think some different tones could really have maximised the impact of this photo. 7

Great Mediterrenean colours, reminds me of Andalucia. Nice and sharp. Good composition. Not quite enough to keep me captivated though. 7

A Study in Color

Wow, very striking. I love the blue and red, the green could do with being a bit more vibrant. The thing that really puts me off is the glare... could you have sorted this with a polariser? Wonderful composition. 7

Soft evening light on Loch Arklet

Nice sunset, but I can't work out why you have such bad jpeg artifacting for a 120kb file. It's all over the shot, and the texture of the foreground grass looks really strange. It looks like something in PS has gone a bit wrong. I can't help thinking that something a little more striking could have been achieved with this view and light. The sky seems a tad overexposed. 7

Summer Days

Good backlighting, interesting composition which is nicely framed by the foliage and shadow. The greens are a bit too yellow here for this shot to really 'wow' me, but it would be really hard in PS to liven up the colour of the grass. Lovely, emotive shot. 7

Golden Light

Wonderful photo... it's a shame that the main pof (the main monkey's face) is so dark... I wish this was a lot lighter. Everything else is wonderful, although the texture of the hairs seems a bit soft. I love the baby's expression. 7

Come Closer

Reminds me very much of Kiwiness' shot, and I'm afraid this one doesn't have quite the same impact. I wish more of the snout were visible, as it takes a little while to work out what is facing which direction. Just a little more dof would have been great. Love the blurred green. 7

Captivated

This is a wonderful shot, great expression and colours. The composition doesn't quite work for me, I'm wondering why a square format was used? Everything seems awkwadly placed within the frame. I REALLY wish she was looking at the bubble in the shot, rather than off-frame. Although NeatImage could kill this shot, I can't help thinking just a little would help reduce the very large amount of noise in this shot. 7
