Always a Lady

Great costume and pose. Nicely soft focus. Seems a little light; darkening the midtones with Levels or Curves would be helpful.

Got Grace??

Nicely posed. The draped fabrics make a good setting.

Great composition, exposure, and focus. The softness probably helps convey grace, but I'd still rather see it a little sharper.

Beautifully captures the colors of these leaves.

I'm aware of AA and from its appearance here suspect that grace is an important part of it, but I'm afraid my experience (or lack thereof) keeps me from feeling grace from this image.

The Dance

Comment:
Very graceful poses. A lot of noise; it helps soften the image but the colors are a bit distracting. The background is very distracting (although I understand you didn't have a lot of control over it).

Fragile ...
by dimitrii

Comment:
A unique high-key high-contrast portrait. Artistically stunning and provocative; the dark hair and eyes make an interesting contrast to the light eyebrows and lips. The white flowers add an extra something. Techncally perfect; the face is white, but not quite as white as the background so its outline is clearly visible and the nose can also be made out. Doesn't convey grace to me as well as other images (but does meet the challenge).

christmas is coming

Comment:
I don't really understand this one. All I see is a very noisy image of an upside-down face close-up. I don't see any relationship to either christmas or grace. Is there supposed to be a deeper meaning?

Ballet dancer

Comment:
The white silhouetted dancers make a great background for the photo of this figurine and adds to the message of grace.

Praying Mantis

Comment:
I think these insects are graceful too, but it doesn't really come across in this image. The composition is good, but the image is too small and blurry.
