I bet they had so much fun running around in their pretty dresses! A wonderful , carefree, candid moment but the sun is very bright and the girl in the background actually ends up being more of a distraction to me than an addition to the shot. A 7 to start but going to an 8 for cute factor :)

Ethan, Dirty Face and All

Why yes he does have a very dirty face but near as dirty as my James was the other day, LOL! ;)

Great shot but the glare on the eyes is very distracting and a little less contrast would have made this shot much better for me personally. The face is so clear while the ears and neck are blurred, intentionally, I don't know but I would have liked to seen the whole head in focus. A 7

Split Bout....the inner struggle

Very cute, interesting but I have a feeling it was more PS than actual photography, I could be wrong. I can't wait to read how this was done. I'm not a purist but I like more actual photo and PS, a 7

Curves n' Lines

This is a very interesting shot. I like the lines, the way them make me a bit dizzy but the shelf or ceiling or whatever that is on the left is very distracting, really overpowers the rest of the shot ;( A 7

What a pretty shot, the framing of the bride, the pose, the lighting. The way you lightened around the edges is well done but around her head is just a bit too light, she almost ends up blending into the background there. A 9

"Back" Cover Girl

How fun was this shot to shoot? It really caught me of guard at first, I was trying to figure out just what you did and then I saw it, the way the eyebrows line up so perfectly, well done. The only thing that could have made this perfect is if her hair and the models hair was the same color or if you at least pulled her hair back to match the hairstyle on the magazine. A 9

A wonderful, understated shot. Nothing of great interest in the shot but for some reason the compositon and the set up hold my attention longer than it should. The lines of the cloth, her shoulder, leading me around the shot is very well done. Just a touch more contrast would make this perfect. Seems just a tad dull, just a tad. a9

Night Torch

Do they actually balloon at night? I think it would be dangerous! But what do I know? This is a nice shot but the lacke of clarity on the main subject hurts it to me. I understand longer exposures to get the light but the basket is just to fuzzy for my taste and the balloons on the right are more distracting to me. Started at a 6, am raising to a 7

Lancing College

A very nice shot but the negative space on the bottom hurts this shot more than helps it to me. Too much black for a dark night shot to start with. I would have liked to have seen the building take more of the shot , it looks like a wonderful subject. A 6

Solitude

The colors in this shot are wonderful, the orange and reds and yellows but the clouds on the right seem over saturated and the person (? can't really tell) on top of the hill gets lost in the shot. A beautiful shot but not overall captivating, sorry a 6
