Just came to bump this up, I just love the soft shades of green in this. so simple but so effective. My only tiny critique is the close crop on the left side. I wish there was just a sliver more empty space between the post and the edge of the photo. Even so a 9 from me.

I'm guessing this is some sort of sheer fabric, it gives a really nice effect. Great job.

I love the colors in this photo, really clever to turn it upside down. It took me a minute but I eventually figured it out.

This is really well done. I wish I knew how to keep the detail in my highlights like this.

This is an interesting looking clock, I am thinking the main problem with this photo is the background IMO, as is I am left wondering why you chose to take a picture of a clock on a blank wall. When I set up a photograph I try to look at the picture as a whole, not just the subject, the background must add to the photo not detract. Try making a grouping of similar still life objects like placing a nice flower arrangement with it on an interesting looking table. Then you still showcase your beautiful clock but make the picture as a whole much more interesting.

Sadness of the young

IMO this photo is too much about the gate instead of the child behind it. I would like to see this redone with the focus on the child instead of the gate. With the child out of focus it is hard to catch the emotion. I think if the child was moved to the left a bit so you can see the face it would be more effective as well. That heavy square over one of the eyes bothers me somewhat.

Falls with heron

Beautiful falls, but this photo has much more of a purple/red tint than sepia on my computer.
