Really well done natural shot. fwiw I gave this a 7, I really like the expert editing photos but can still show some love to really well controlled natural shots.

Glad to see this ribbon. I love how the sky looks like brush strokes, it is details like that that draw me in. Well done.

By the light of the blue moon, Pris always looked a little pensive.

Gotta agree the lighting is backwards, I want to see the subject well lit. Of course out in nature that is easier said then done. I am also confused on what the subject is, I want to look at the Bison but it seems a bit out of focus and the birds are sharp but they are so small. I would try and kill some of those blown highlights. Hmm... funny me giving you a critique lol.

I see I gave this a 4. Pretty sure it was the border that dropped it below my average otherwise it would probably have been a 5 or 6. I'm just not a fan of these types of shots. Sorry not much of a critique.

Not bad. The light is a bit hard and it is causing some deep shadows at her eyes. I like the framing and comp though. The pose is ok but I have never personally been a fan of women squatting for a shot, I don't find it nearly as flattering as I would prefer. I would either bring in some more light to help with the shadows either by off camera lighting or reflector or mover her to some open shade.

Leaving tracks

Didn't vote but this would have been one of my higher votes simply because it isn't just some train tracks. I think the light is nice and the trees framing the subject work well as well as the tracks being a nice leading line. Cons... Why is a girl jumping on the tracks? Perhaps another element would help but it's not bad for the challenge. Surprised it finished low.
