could have made a bit better use of the tonal range available to you... nothing in this picture gets very close to white

obviously a very difficult shot to pull off - great idea

Mountain Highway

eep. this picture is at once beautiful and badly unbalanced. all the action is in the lower left! i think the road should have been farther from the edge.

would've liked to see this with better focus and the figures farther in the distance. a wider angle might also have been appropriate, or a zoom from a greater distance.

Road to Perdition

Interesting take on the theme - one of the stronger images that departs from the more literal interpretations. The only real thematic inconsistencies I see are with the model... her hands are too clean, her hair is too well done, and she looks too healthy. I think the black makeup might have been stronger if you gave her some 'racoon eyes' more than its just being smudgy; the sloppiness looks deliberate here.

On another note, though I think the title is pretty good, there are moral connotations I don't think I agree with. "Perdition" means "damnation," which implies that a drug addict is morally responsible for his (or her) addiction. While a user is, to a certain extent, culpable for the decision to use in the first place, addiction is much more nefarious and complicated, and when use turns into abuse, 'free will' as it is normally conceived pretty much goes out the window. If this were my image, I would have probably given it a more morally neutral title using something like "misery," "destruction," or "self-destruction" in place of "Perdition."

Food for thought, if nothing else.

nice scenery - the whites in the stairs are a bit too bright

great haystacks! this picture makes me want to climb on them. it's nice that you were able to include the snow and add some visual interest to what would have otherwise been a bland foreground. this works nicely.
