A good overall abstract. I think it might have been stronger if the gap played along at a larger angle (e.g., following the diagonal. Also, perhaps brightening the red on the right.

Metal

Well done, I like the idea and the composition. It does appear to have a bit of a blue cast, and seems a little low in contrast. But those are relatively mnor points, and the image works pretty well in emphasizing lines, form, and colors. Nice work.

Reflections in the Window

Wow, this is great. I love the contrast of colors, and the contrast of starkness with the beautiful reflection. Congratulations on your first ribbon with this Super Image! Into my favs.

Nature's Brush Strokes

Nice aesthetics. I love the detail in the yellow; the reds are overexposed though, I believe, which is why the have such a large uniform patch. Consider playing down the curves on red, also a bit overall where it's blooming in the yellow. Also, consider cropping sucj that the split isn't so centric. Still, overall, a good idea.

Great idea, beautiful shot. Congratulations on the ribbon, and filling in the one missing color from your profile! (I still need to do that!)

Portrait of an Off-Centered Artist Off-Centered

Comment:
Interesting setup, a good idea. Oddly, though, it comes off as pretty centered! I would have suggested perhaps more white space and thrown the whole thing off into one quadrant (if practical).

Subject looks a lot like Coley :)

Very interesing juxtaposition. Nicely done. I'd like to have seen a bit more below the top of the tent(?), but still very cool!

Very painterly--looks like it was buzzed, I think, and it works very well here! Full marks from me.

Richard Avedon : The Sixties
by Tej

Comment:
Greetings from the Critique Club.

Technical: Composition is very strong, the fill the frame of your subject works very well here. As a posterization, it appears to be done well, but I don't have a lot of experience in that area, posterization being something I normally try to avoid.

Aesthetic: Overal, I think this works well. However, as I look at it for an extended period of time, I find the abrupt change of colors distracting--as they create their own lines. I wonder how it would have looked with wild colors like this but smooth transitions? Maybe something to try.

Challenge: I couldn't find a similar Richard Avedon shot.

Conclusion: I think you have created something special here. It works, but I still think there might be improvements--or at least fun experiments--to do with it.
