This is wonderful. The lighting and colors make the subject stand out and add eye appeal. Nicely seen and composed.

Playing by the River

I scored this one a "4" during the challenge. The colors are off, which is the first thing people seem to be noticing. The little girl also seems a little out of focus to me, which is probably from the slow shutter speed. I would think on an outside shot, you should be able to work with a little higher shutter...at least a 1/60 would probably have made a difference here.

You might also consider cropping some off of the top, as I think it would bring the viewer's attention more to the subject. Hope this is helpful!

A Day in These Shoes

I agree with most comments below. It appears out of focus and the black border is distracting and not adding to the shot. However, I do like the idea and the shoes have "character" (you can tell I'm a Realtor) I like the composition as well...just the technical end of the shot needs some work. I'm not a fan of the really red tone, but that's a matter of taste I suppose.

We Are Not Amused

Oh my goodness...I just had to smile at the look and the title. Pretty much a snapshot, but what a hoot! Not everything we take a shot of has to be a work of art. This kitty has some attitude :)

Perfect! Great example of taking the ordinary and making it more than just a snapshot. I just love the way the in focus flower pops from the blurred colors in the background.

You do very nice wedding shots. This one might be just a bit dark on the groom's side, but I'd rather have it a touch dark instead of too bright, personally.

Great fun and technically flawless from my point of view. Her looks and smile suit this pose very well. You do a great job with the white high key shots. I hope to have a studio to work with some day and take shots as nice as these.
