The lighting, the composition, the pukey color green the shadows the bench placement, the girl in the back, the expression of the girl in front, the shape of the photo and the large dead area of grass on the bottom right all add up to make this shot truly unappealing. This is a higher standard, this is a "Masters' challenge." I wouldn't really want a print of this even if I liked little kid shots running around in formal dress. I'm sorry to be so critical, but I have to be honest.

Monkey pictures? The lighting is nice but when I put a shot of a gorilla in my portfolio, its normally a goof. The teat is too disturbing , and the knee/thigh is the focal point. I realize that many times you can control a scene and the lighting but if you advertise the lighting in the title, you best be aware that the composition is influenced by the lighting and the focal point is most likely where the darkest point meets the lightest point.
On the brighter side, This could be the king of all primate nude shots.

Misty Morning

I like mist but this is a bit boring and the reflection ruins the shot- I don't think I'd want a print of this, its not too appealing. But the color is decent, and the tree deep in the mist is pretty.

I already saw a dragonfly- but this kicks its ass. This has a nice blue and tan color scheme and perfect focus. Great entry

Split Bout....the inner struggle

Well, Nice attempt at trickery and you have succeeded. Thank god for big megapixel sensors, cutting and pasting and the horizontal flip function in photoshop! Big fat guys aren't usually appealing, and the rule holds true here!(oh yeah, I wouldn;t want to see myself like this either- being a big fat guy!) But seriously, is this digital art class? photoshop 101? If so check your lighting, the guys head is poorly lit, and his ass and shoulders are both lit. Nice try.

This is ok but it may be a bit dramatic. The sky on the left, the red clouds looks overly fake.The yellow on the right looks digital as well.

Beautiful symmetry in this one with the flower and the fly- The colors are nice as well, very primary and soothing. The focal point is distracting because it is the wing and the wrong parts of the flower. This is nit-picking- Its a great shot.

Megalomania

megalomania? I acn't get past this title. I do like the negative space, the subtle detail in the silhouettes and the placement of the horizon and men is nice, and the subject is interssting.

I like the composition, and i especially like the textures, lips, skin, dress, I might have shown a touch more top but reasonable minds can disagree. THis does sum up one of the sexiest "parts" or "erogenous zones" on a woman.

I keep staring at this shot because the neck seems a bit distorted, and under the chin there is a distracting something, but the lighting and skin make this a great shot.
