A Night in Port

A beautifully done shot of the harbor at night. It feels almost like a painting.

The trouble with this technique of capturing the people in motion is that stationary things like the tree and the building are also out of focus. The result is, instead of a really unique shot of this street corner, I see a something that looks like the camera was dropped as the picture was being taken. It's a little hard on the eyes I'm afraid.

A Family Tradition

I think for a fireworks shot to work in this challenge, it's important to include people enjoying them. You did that well by including the silhouettes in the foreground. I'd like to see this in color, although the tan tones does have a cool feel to it.

This is humorous and nicely photographed. I particularly like the three bright lights in the background. Unfortunately, there is something about the tan tone of the foreground that takes away from the city lights in the back.

This is a cool silhouette shot and captures the theme of the challenge nicely. The two lights behind the fountain are a little distracting though and, although your subjects are centered, the fountain is not. I think in this case, centered would look better.

Very Formal

I like the colors and the theme, but I think with the crystal blending in so well with the pattern of the linens, there seems to be a little too much unused space at the top left. This makes the whole shot feel unbalanced. I would also like to see the bottom of the plate and silver not cut off since those really are the focal point in the shot. Interesting and unique idea for this challenge.

Too dark. I can't make out anything.

This is one of my favorites. I like the contrast you used to many of the standard black and white shots where black is the dominant color. You did the exact opposite and it is quite a nice effect.

A little more light on your face and this would be even better.

I'm glad you kept this in color. Great choice of backdrops as it highlights your natural color (particularly your eyes) and beauty.
