B&W day 1

I like this idea, but I am thinking maybe a sharper angle to the side would really add to it. Also on the base there is a light spot.. looks over sharp? to me it really throws the dof off in a big way. I like the bell design being in focus, however, I think if the lip and design was in a sharp focus and the rest shallow this would really make much more of a statement. Also, a bit more balance on the image. Glass is really hard to photograph well. In this situation I would have tried to use dark material or boards on either side to create a nice outline on both sides of the glass.

B&W - Day 1

This is really nice, I think the only change I would suggest is a bit of dodging above the rooftop to lightin the sky a touch. Other than that I think you did a nice job. Some of the flatness I think adds to creating an 'aged' look on this image. Very nice.

such a shallow dof, very artistic in nature, however not exactly sure what the feeling is it gives. Just know im looking at a bit of a tree...

Nothing To Wear

I enjoy the top half of the image, the strong contrasts and sharp focus is really nice. However, when I look at the lower part even though there is a bit of contrast it just is really flat compared with the top half. It is a great pose and a fun idea....

This is a fun tree, personally I would like to see it sharper with a shallower dof. A bit more contrasty would definitely create a really strong mood for this tree as well. I really like the possible imagery it presents.

Day 1 - At The Rodeo

This is a fantastic capture and I think what totally sells it for me, is not only the posture of the rider and horse but the little 'Lone Ranger' in the background. That is absolutely classic and something you don't really see anymore.

Another new kitty!

I would have really liked to see a lighter tone on the wall and floor. It would have really made the cat pop out more and add a little something to the image. I think the strongest part of the image now is th eyes and everything else is just bland.

Day 1 - Scratch

Really cute doggie, but for me, the cast on the fur which I ma assuming done to rid of a blown out area just really throws me off. It is a fun image, nice capture on the animal, and the leaves look really great. But that cast just is icky to me.

The Birth Of Gaia

I like this idea, The effect itself was done very well... but there are a couple things that bother me. The flat colour for one, I would really like to see some deep rich blues and greens here. I think it would really add to the feel. Don't want to go crazy with the brightness, but needs to pop a lot more.

The model also needs a bit of colour brighting to her, but what really bothers me with the image, is the visible panty and undershirt lines. Really distracts from what could be a smooth great line. Can be fixed one of a couple ways... Easiest would be to have the model remove the undergarments before the shoot... or during if you notice it while... wear smaller undergarments lastly clone/heal out the lines.

One thing I think that would be fun, may be move the whole image over a bit to the side, and add a moon into it. The moon doesn't need to be monstrous in size, just a little something to see and I think you would have created a really fantastic image. Like I said the effect itself looks really good, just some colour and brightness issues to work on.

This is fantastic, I really like the brush strokes of the foliage behind the flower. With the flower itself, I wish the top of the petal wasn't cut off it leaves me an incomplete feeling. Granted it is just the very tip it still distracts. It is an easy fix to extend the image up a touch and clone in a new tip.... If you need to.

I really enjoy the colour pallet here, they are nice and suttle and not trying to compete with each other. This painted effect is working out really nice.

I am wondering though, what this would look like if the flower was at a bit more of an angle? Also, I am trying to think if there perhaps was a better style of border for this. Just something about the border doesn't sit right with me... Just doesn't seem to fit with the image. Overall I would say you did a fantastic job. Very Nice.
