Very lovely. I like the glow. I would have burned the small green specks at the top a little more. 8

The Professor

Interesting idea, and well done, but not very realistic. I can't figure out why his hand would be at this angle. He's not pointing at anything, and not following along the text with his hand while he reads. So the picture starts telling the story, but the story doesn't go anywhere. 7 for well done, would have been 8 if I could come up for a reason why it was this way.

Into The Light

Interesting use of light. With the right side of her face completely shadowed, I'd like it a little better if she wasn't looking so far to the left. That much white in the eye is a little distracting. Neat shot, though.

Very nice shot, funny! Just to be nit-picky (feel free to ignore this), I'd like the background a little more white than off-white.

Wish it was a little sharper--it's a cool shot!

Nantucket's Brant Point at Sunset

Comment:
The placement of the lighthouse is a little uncomfortable. I think the rule of thirds would have been better here--or center the horizon instead of the land. Or move things to the left so we get the point of the land. It's a wonderful picture, but the cropping just seems off.

Flamingo? anyway, very nice-- I actually would like a little more of the black background--the contrast is nice.

Neat shot! I am curious what it would have looked like in color.

Gregg's Peaches

Comment:
Seems a little too centered to me, would have liked it off to the left a bit, and cutting off the top of the pole with so much foreground seems a little uncomfortable.

that being said, I love the building and I like the choice of black & white.
