Nice lighting, contrast and detail. Cute concept.

The shadow is overwhelming and drowns out your focal point. Also, the dog being almost smack in the center of the photo gives it little artistic interest. Perhaps if it were bigger it would help but as is, it's hard to see this as much more than a snapshot.

I love the colors and lighting (it has a wonderful, romantic feel to it) but I think your subject should be off to the left a little. However, I do like the person's shadow on the ground so maybe not. Until you notice that, the picture doesn't feel right but you don't want to lose the impact of that shadow. Perhaps soften the bright white light on the pavement and instead of cropping off the right of the picture, leave more to the left.

Make your subject just a little closer and maybe down on the page a little. Cute shot of a cute child, let's see him just a little better. Otherwise, beautiful landscape shot, colors, tones and composition.

Because the bench facing left, I think it would be more effective to have the open space to the left of the photo instead of the right. The shadows are effective however, as are the muted tones. Nice detail in the ground covering.

Bring your subject over to the right just a bit so her knee isn't cut off. Otherwise a nice use of negative space.

I can tell there is supposed to be something in this shot by the slight color I'm seeing toward the middle, but there is not enough there for me to be able to judge what it is. At least not on this monitor.

Wow. I love this picture. perfect in every way. How sad and lonely that little bear looks. Placing him away from the steps emphasizes it even more. The lighting is perfect. The B&W is perfect. The grainy effect is perfect. My favorite of the challenge and one of my favorites on the site. Period! Thank you for sharing such mood and artistry. 10

...in her field

This is a lovely shot. I like how the light filters through the shadows and the colors of the leaves behind your subject become the same auburn color as her hair (almost a halo affect) while the green leaves at the top of the page balance the color at the bottom. With such fair skin and the brightness of her blue jeans, she really her stands out against the backdrop. What I like most though is the expression on her face and what I'm assuming is a flower in her hand..."He loves me...he loves me not..." I hope "he" loves her. :-)

Looks more like a Time Out! LOL I like this a lot. You've got her in a great pose for this challenge and the fact that she's facing towards the tree instead of with her back to it gives her a more isolated feeling. Nice lighting and fall colors.
