The Simple Life
by mirdonamy

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge, but this one not as strongly as the others for me. Exposure composition focus lighting okay, but the reflections in the cat's eyes is distracting and the crop is too tight for my taste, particularly with the look on the cat's face.

Personal: This looks like a stressed cat, this doesn't say simplicity to me. It doesn't look like much more than a snapshot. It appears to be properly exposed, but by the same token it looks too bright to me. Definitely worth the time to keep practicing!

These are the exact same comments I left for the other cat face shot, because they are so similar, even down to the color of the cat.

Solitude

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This one fits nicely. Exposure composition focus lighting all very nice.

Personal: Love the photo. The border is overbearing for my tastes. I'd like to see more of that "screen real estate" used up by the photo itself!

So Inclined

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This fits nicely. Exposure composition focus lighting all very good. Not sure if it's an optical illusion or not, but the bottom two sets of leaves almost look doubled or blurred.

Personal: Very nice to look at, good contrast. I like it!

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This does well. Exposure composition focus lighting all good, though I think the composition could be a little stronger and the contrast could be upped just a tad.

Personal: Title grabs me more than anything else. Go Lao Tzu!!

Innocent
by Terrynixon

Comment:
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Exposure and composition both good, focus is off. Lighting seems good, but the grain/blur detracts. Image lacks detail and doesn't make use of the full 640 pixels allowed.

Personal: This looks like a snapshot, and a blurry one at that. More practice will help! The date might be something your camera does automatically, I would look at finding out how to turn that off.

Friendship
by Konador

Comment:
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. I think this does... hard to tell. Exposure composition focus lighting seem good, but again it's hard to tell.

Personal: Interesting, but not enough information to tell what it is- I can't make any kind of emotional connection to the subject.
