The Color of Remembering

I think in order for the single sat to realy work, the flowers in the foreground need to be tack sharp. AS it is, I can't tell for sure where the focus is. Maybe in the center on the snow. This has great potential and actually, I'd prefer it be all black and white in high contrast, but that's just my taste.

In a challenge with so many artfully presented shots, this has an almost yellow journalism sense to it. I find it extremely disappointing. You could have done this so artfully. I like the leg and the tatto and the fishnets. I think alot less props,not so much busy and distractions- a solid background, and you might realy have something.

I like the idea of this and the single touch of red, but it's just too blurred for my taste.

Like the hat. I'm sorry to say it looks blurred on his face, where the focus should be. The buttons are tack sharp, but it should be his face that has the main clarity. I might also like to see more contrast.

I like the idea of this old building. I think it loses impact cause it just looks like a snapshot. Maybe do some serious post editing and make it look old, or do a stark contrast with black and white. I'd also like to see you take about 30 steps back, so there is some area around it with the fallen leaves. As it is, it lacks perspective. Hope this is helpful.

That is just amazing!!!! I love it on all levels. COmposition, color, texture, focus. WOW Only given out 3 10's and this is one of them!!!!

After reviewing all of the entries, this is still just so well done. I can look at it over and over and never tire of it. I hope it ribbons - it surely deserves to.

I think I recognize this model and whether or not I'm right, this is unbelievably good. The lighting and that velvet smoke. HOLY $#*T!!!! I am in total awe. 10

Just to let you know after seeing all of the entries this is still my stand out favorite. Sooooo artsy and esthetic. BRAVO - Bravissimo!!!!!

This seems more than misty to me - almost blurred. I wish there were more contrast to really show the variations in black and white.

Nice winter scene. I like the single bare tree. The foggy background is very chilling to me, being from the South. I like the deep black of it too which helpsk create high contrast, without going overboard.

That one branch in front of her is really a cool "odd" touch. I like it. Almost divides her face. Some might find it distracting- I find it enchanting.
