Nice textures, I love the mix of organic and stone; nice composition as well.

The overall "light and color temperature" of the piece is a bit cool, and although it is a winter shot, perhaps a warmer late afternoon light would lend more to the overall feel of the shot.

Way too interesting. It looks a bit staged and oversharpened but you can't pull your eyes away, like a car wreck. Congrats.

Underrated, Nice shot and the explanation in the setup made it better.

THis has an ethereal quality to it. very subtle changes left to right make it interesting for the eye. Excellent work.

Excellent shot; has a constructed cartoon- graphic novel look; but still quite artistic; perhaps the crop is tight; nice contrast and tones.

Fantastic framing here- the composition is nice and takes beautifully to the digital art. The color values of the blues add great depth. Well done.

Generally, the focus of a shot; the point of interest or perhaps the "place where the viewers eye is drawn to" of a shot consists of , the place where the lightest value and darkest values in the photo meet, where the biggest contrast in color, either in hue or color temp. That being said, the viewers eye goes right to the hearing aid, and teh angle of the shot is way to harsh with a death stare out the window. Otherwise, nice shot.

The technique here works fantastically; it takes on a new life with that filter. I don't normally like pet portraits but this is super.

I really dig how you can go from portrait to landscape to macro; nice edgy pine feel here on the stump- you can smell teh forest at christmas.
