Interesting. The light and shadow is good. The dirt on the face looks very "put on," but still the effect is there. I wish there were a glint in her left eye. Good detailing. Not sure about what she has around her neck. Looks almost like a snake but maybe a knitted scarf? I can't tell. 7

I like the slight grain of this photo. It works for the dirty hands. The detail of the skin is well done. Good lighting too.

This almost looks like a Christmas tree by accident. I like the vivid colors and the stars coming from the lights. Great leading line. Interesting and quite nice to look at!!

I like the monochromatic color scheme. All the variations of green are very refreshing. Great detail on the lime!!!

Window

Simple architectural shots like this really appeal to me. I like the glas blocks immitating the lines of the larger stone squareso fht e building. It's all so geometric. I can't figure out if the window is the only color of the shot, or if indeed the bench and building are the same color. Well, whatever, it is striking and I like it.

Really interesting. The water almost has a plastic appearance. This has a surreal sense and is unusual from the landscapes and other fare of this challenge. The placement of her face dead center works here. It would be a great study in black and white as well.

Like the boats are on a giant mirros. Nice leading line. The deep rich darkness of the colors is my kind of detail!! Well done. 8

This is lonely and emotive. I like the misty background with the single focal point - the boat.

I like the half face crop. Great clarity of the eye. I wonder if a darker background would have worked better. Hmmmmmm

Nice lighting too. 8
