Nice use of desaturation to separate the picture elements - viewer vs. pictures.

"Pink Daisy"
by sfarrell23

Comment:
The flower is awesome, but the background is so uniformly black that it could just as easily be selective lighting as selective desaturation. It appears that the leaves have retained their subtle color, rather than being desaturated. Good marks for the picture quality, but some deduction for the lack of any black and white subject matter.

Comment:
The color stands out nicely against the black and white, but the umbrella doesn't seem to be the main subject of the picture that you'd want to emphasize. The effect is incongruous rather than harmonious, IMHO.

Cute dog, nice surroundings, good color and texture.

Waiting for something better

Comment:
Ironically, those doors look too nice. The picture expresses that beaten felling that life has to get better - it couldn't get worse - but the way to a better day is not sitting and waiting. An expressive shot.

I like the muted lighting and the textures. The contrast between bright and mid-tone in the background is distracting, even though it is - as it should be - out of focus.

The order waiting at a slaughterhouse

And that's why I decided to become a vegetarian. The emphasis on the tags is good, but I think the shot needs a bit more of the animal's face.

The kids are cute, the colors are nicely renedered, but the timer seems really gimmicky.

Beautiful sunset, and the silhouetted figure says loneliness and waiting as clearly as words.

Very cute shot. How did you get them to stay long enough to photograph?
