I think this should would be much better in B&W or sepia with a closer crop on the rocks to really show off the detail. As it is, the colours aren't really that interesting and nor is teh composition. A closer crop and B&W would really add some interest and 'feel' to the photo. 5

Awakening

This photo just begs for a contrast boost in post-processing in my opinion. It's a great shot but I feel it just needs some proper blacks in there, not the dark greys which are there currently. I think some of the sky should be cropped out too, probably all of the blue bit down to just above the dark cloud. 6

Bear River Marshes

This is a very nice photo of a nice looking location, but there is too much empty space in my opinion. The bottom and the right of the shot don't really add anything. I would have taken a square crop from the top-left, as thats where it's all happening, with the clouds, mountains, and grass converging. That would have had much more impact I think. 6

Film Noir Gun Girl

This is a great shot and definately have the film noir feel to it. The way she is looking off screen is very effective, and the soft focus, although slightly excessive in my opinion, works really well. I think the whites of the eyes should be slightly lightened too. 8

Curves n' Lines

This photo is too busy for my taste. I think there is too much going on and no real focal point. I do think it would make a good abstract though, with some funky duotone colouring and a closer crop. 4

Golden Light

This photo is absolutely perfect. I think the grey border spoils it and should be black or not there at all, but I can't take any marks off for that. If this was my shot I would be tempted to just make it B&W straight away but I'm so glad you left it in colour as it works really well after looking at it for a while. 10

Essence

I like this shot but I think it is let down in post-processing. I really feel it should have some soft focus applied to it, not only to make it more dreamy, but to increase the tonal contrast in the skin to stop it looking so flat. Also, a warmer sepia might be nicer than B&W. 5

A Proud Bird
by mariomel

Comment:
This is a nice shot, but it seems slightly flat. You could try bumping up the contrast a little or dodge/burn it. Also, I think it would be much better in B&W or duotone, because the green in the background doesn't suit the type of bird this is. 6

This is an excellent emotive shot. The toning and contrast are perfect. 10

Graceful Departure

This is a spectacular sunset, but in my opinion it needs some kind of object in the foreground, just to add something else to the photo. At the moment it looks a bit plain to me. 6
