She LEFT

One of my favorites of the challenge. It's very simple, but the way it's processed and the use of light makes it very powerful. 9 from me. :)

She has a great stance, really gives off an air of elegance and confidence and juxtaposes nicely with her partner.

Loving this one, may we have another? :-)

Super Glue Was Used

Lovely improvement on what I'm pretty sure is the original. :) Lighting is good and the flower and background work much better than the plant did.

The Ultimate Silence (Take 2)
by Prof_Fate

Comment:
The composition and tonal range are much improved in this one. I do like the child looking down in the first one, to me it adds to the feel of him being secluded, if you will, by his implied impairment. But I know how children can be difficult at times. :-) Well done overall.

Burnside Bridge at Antietam Creek

Very nice job in making the bridge more of the focus in this photo. I enjoy the compositional changes you made (especially getting rid of the distracting wall in the forground) having the bridge lead you more throught the photo. Better lighting in this one and the change in seasons also adds to the photo (not that you could have done anything about that in your original) :-) Very nice job.

The dying of the light

Back to comment, lovely and you're right, neatimage and freckles don't mix. I've learned that mistake myself. :-) Wonderful improvement from the first, no lens flare, closer crop on the subject and light and sharpness are greatly improved. Well done and bumping to an 8

Still Inseparable

I like this one, but I have to say, I think I liked your original better. I liked how the metal and wood worked off eachother giving a warm, natural feeling (which also worked well with the title). The background you chose here really changes that, making it cold and industrial. Maybe that's what you were going for. Also, there is a loss of texture on the ring in this one (I'm assuming it's the same ring). It's seems much smoother and I think the texture was a good element in the original. So by making the changes you did, you've changed the feeling of the photograph. Nothing wrong with that, it's just different.
