"No Limits"

I love the near-prefect symmetry, the grey-blue tones, teh softness of the feathers. I think the darker sky on the right is perhaps a little distracting--maybe if the sky held the same symmetry as the bird? I dunno. I guess I'd have to see what that would look like to compare before I say for sure if that would improve an already terrific shot. Can't give you a vote, but if I could it'd be a 10. Good luck!

Resting

I gave two 10s in this challenge--this is one of them. A perfect shot as far as I'm concerned. Your subject is very pretty and you did everything to bring out her beauty even though much of her face is hidden by her arms. Your lighting is great, wonderful contrasts and sharpness of focus. The only thing I would even suggest is a tiny, almost insignificant change in tweaking the lighting just a tad to remove that shadow from her right arm. It's a tad bit distracting. Other than that, I think it's just a wonderful depiction of At Rest. Good luck.

This is my favorite of the challenge. The softness of the focus, the pastel blue shade, the peaceful, natural expression of a sleepiing child all combine to create a delicate work of art. I wouldn't change a thing. Good luck.

Okay...one more sleeping cat! But cute though...

I like the lighting and the setting. Nicer than many of the pet shots. I think it would have been better had the cat been more in focus. You have the baskets and leaves in the background nice and crisp but since the cat is the focal point, I think he should have been clearer. Otherwise, a nice, artistic shot.

Aw, shucks. I was disappointed to open up the thumbnail and discover this is a wood (or resin?) carving. I thought you had captured a real person with a great expression! Ah well, it's still a great picture. Nice and crisp. great lighting, perfect use of a black backdrop. Had this been the read deal like I thought, it would have been my pick of the week. Good luck.

This is a great shot, certainly nostalgic. Taking your focal point off-center a little bit might have added a even more interest to the photo. Nice sepia and I like the fact that there are no clouds in the sky to detract from the pumps. Nicely done.

A Boy and His Toys

I think this might have worked better had you actually had a little boy in the shot playing with these toys and perhaps some different lighting would make it a little more interesting. As it is, it fits the theme of the challenge ok, but it just doesn't say too much as a photograph.

The Roadside Diner

This is one of my favorites of the challenge. I love the angle from which you shot and the details captured, from the intricate pattern of the tile floor to the tear in the first seat cushion. To me, this has a great nostalgic feel to it. Nicely done.

His first self portrait...in 1964 or so.

I like how you captured the look of nostalgia on his face as he looks, not so much on the picture, but through it, to another place and time.

Once Upon a Time...

I think this would have been even better had you pulled back and captured the wheels and the front thingy (don't know what it's called) on the train. but cropping it so high, we miss some nice components. I like the sepia and the nice clear image though.
