Hey, it's Sunday morning...cat's ROCK!

Very good detail here. Yeah I like the earthy tones. Maybe a slight playing with curves or levels might make the ants pop out just a bit more. I have to totally agree with Bear about the comp, I think taking a little off the left could make a significant difference. As it sets now, the hopper is quite centered, I think getting that eye closer to the left frame would add a lot dynamically. A very cool shot though, and a real neat find. Nice job. :-)

A lovely image. Great lighting. The model is great, I love her pose, and how she is gazing out of the frame. Really nice work!

Very nice execution of a classic shot. The use of the red material works well. It draws the viewers attention nicely. I like the softness. Good job!

Very nice job on lighting and exposure. Lovely model, and a pleasing image to view. I wonder though, if it might be better rotated vertically, or maybe even just flipped 180. I say this because I just get this uncomfortable feeling, like she might 'fall out' or something. Maybe it is even just how she is looking down in this framing.

Facing the Light

Normally, when you see a shot of someone's feet, it is a sign of a poor eye and/or a last minute, lack of any good idea, weak effort that looks snapshottish, amateurish, and crappy. :-) That being said, this looks well thought out and works really well, IMO. A dynamic composition and I like the tones. The lighting seems kinda hot (blown out) on the tops of the feet. Nice job.
