the rose

Very pretty. Nice in its natural surroundings and the blurred ones in the background give us the idea that there are lots of roses and this is the best one. Nicely captured with beautiful colors and detail.

Bicycle Ride - Later

LOVE THIS! The unusual color of the building makes the snow covered bike even pop more. The slightly asymmetry of the windows and the leaning bicycle is nice to view.That touch of red in the lower windows gives it a nice complementary feel against the golden orange of the metal building. Good job.

Great DOF with the fence's leading line and the bare branches giving it some texture and a frame of sorts. I like it very much.

It's kind of funny as she's dressed in a dominatrix costume, yet her pose and expression seems very sweet and innocent! I like it.

Oh I like this. Amazing the the overall image is focused. I like the guy in the background - it helps literally "set the stage" (no pun intended) for this shot and help tell the story. What if you upped the contrast a bit???

State Street

When I see this pop up on the comments page, I can't help but think it's reminiscent of a street scene painting. I like the colors and the activity. I had given it a 7 in the challenge, but failed to comment. If I were to critique anything it might be to straighten the tilt of it a bit, and maybe up the color saturation ever so much.

What wonderful complementary colors. I like the way you cropped off part of his body and concentrated on the front.

Wonderful lighting. The focus is tack sharp.

Duetto

Beautiful. Probably the best of the challenge. It really is backlit, yet you can tell all of the details of each petal. I like that they are facing downward, almost as if in a sad repose. 10

Triple espresso

I like the coloration of the filter. It has a bit of texture but isn't overdone. The perspective is nicely done. Good composition too.
