Wow - this is pretty spectacular, it could be a poster or a Christmas card.

Oh, this is really wonderful - I've done a few aquarium shots, but none as good as this one. Perfect silhouettes. The smaller child particularly.

Reflecting

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is really nice and very well seen, we can see enough of their faces in the reflection to make this very interesting. I think the furniture contributes to the interest too.

Critical stuff: Not much really - perhaps a little more contrast, though perhaps that would obliterate the faces.

Overall: A great scene, well captured.

Positives: Interesting piece of graffiti. Good use of texture.

Critical stuff: I'm not sure your photography has added anything here, in fact I feel we could make a case that it has reduced the scene - sometimes that can be good, where the photographer captures an essence and the image becomes a distillation. But here, I don't form that impression.... I feel you may have thrown the baby out with the bath water.

Overall: An interesting scene perhaps but I'm sorry I don't find this to be an interesting capture of that scene.

Positives: You've really created something interesting in your capture of this scene. The fall of the light on the crystalline ice and the change in colour towards the bottom of that element is highly compelling.

Critical stuff: Not much at all really.

Overall: Nice image, good to see something so pretty from a simple sheet of glass.

Positives: This works really well; I like the 'woody' colour palette too, it suits the subject matter.

Critical stuff: Not much, I think this could've stood a tighter crop.

Overall: Nice work.

Positives: Wow - what a brave juxtaposition, even more so when emphasised with the selective desaturation. It is very well executed though - great lighting, great textures, nice DOF.

Critical stuff: Nothing to suggest on the editing front - I might have been tempted to shoot it with a lower POV, but that's just me.

Overall: Interesting; would love to know more about your motivation for the picture.

Great portrait the slight touch of colour in the eyes works really well.

Positives: The highlight for me in this image is the shadow of the dog - I like how squared off it is. I also like the texture of the iron work.

Critical stuff: Most of everything else (sorry!) The off vertical structure really bothers me - my problem I know - I tend to be fussy about alignment (always better to align verticals than horizontals I think). The harshness of the contrast -the very bright highlights in the bottom right corner seem unnecessarily harsh to me. The overall composition seems messy too.

Overall: I've been trying to see what you have seen here, but I'm afraid I've failed.

Positives: Nice and grungy - love the wall colour too; adds to the 50's feel. I think you have offered just the right amount of texture here too. I like the clean composition with the true verticals and horizontals.

Critical stuff: Nothing really.

Overall: Very nice image - makes me want to know more about the scene.
