Good tonal balance and palette captured. Busy but not overpowering.

I think the key is are the kids and parents happy with it. As mentioned by the others, I agree, a happy portrait well lit and not overcompensated look or smile. i.e. An honest image with good technicals, zero shadows etc. Good luck with the tedium!

Wonderful use of the UWA where the usual distortion has been exceptionally well controlled and used to your advantage. Not a single open space is showing, the tree and the branches fill every nook and cranny. The furry rodent is a bonus :) Very cute.

Very nice colours and the rusty browns make it feel like a discovery in an old forgotten barn or homestead. I'm not fond of the blueish BG and would hesitate to suggest a dull charcoal or dark grey texture that does not vie with the primary subjects? Possibly slip the round blade behind the box and lower, so that it can also be identified but play a part in the composition. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stills.

The thumbnail certainly demands opening up :)
Once open it doesn't however disappoint (not a nude) and then is more like a silk gown thrown down. Very smooth and almost abstract. Subtle light playing with the folds. Beautiful. I prefer v2 with the spots removed. Frame it and hang it, in A2.

Week 3 - Textures

Lovely texture with a 'dried mud' crackling like effect. Seed pods caught in the winds of time add a forlorn feel but with the promise of new life. Nice.

The OOF BG certainly makes the FG subjects pop and draws ones eyes to them. What a cute conversation piece. Lovely timing. Story telling with "wild" animals is hard to do. WD!

Old Barn at End of country Lane

I grew up in places like this so they are always a welcome sight. Nice framing using the trees and enough detail in the dark areas to allow long inspection. I like the path leading into the image as well.

I will continue to get to grips with your style; I doubt I am qualified to make comments but here goes:
As per Dennis, I also thought distant Nebula with an erupting Star. This type of imagery is so open ended that anything can be interpreted and perhaps that is your quest?
