A DARK PAST

This is a wonderful portrait, but it seems to be way more about the person (primary focus the eye) that it has to do with "hair". JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.

I love the composition, but don't like the washed out look of this (haze). Perhaps a better time of day (early/late) or use of some filters to bring this to life. Great potential... Good luck.

Nice scenic. There's been some loss of detail, via too much noise reduction and/or not focused well enough. Good luck.

Seems more like a cityscape than a landscape? It's certainly an interesting place with all of the doorways and windows. On the technical side I think the composition would be better served without the small piece of sky visible at the top. The image seems a little blurred and/or in need of some sharpening (very evident looking at the flowers in the window and the potted plant). A little more contrast and color saturation would also give this image a boost. All JMO of course. :) Good luck.

Wow, talk about repeating patterns! :) At first glance I was thinking you did some cloning to enhance the pattern, but I'm thinking it's for real after a closer look. Nice eye to see this. The stark contrast and use of B/W was a good choice. Good luck in the challenge.

Something about winding roads...I really like this. Nice job of using leading lines to tell a story and engage the viewer. Hopefully you're not taking too many hits from those who may feel this isn't a "pretty landscape". Good luck.

This is a cool looking road and location. Well seen! Funny how the asphalt gives the viewer an impression of a grainy image, even though it isn't. You've composed this well overall. The B/W tonal range seems just a tad short of hitting both ends (true white/true black) - but it could be this lousy work monitor. :) BTW, you know that it's ok to clone out sensor dust?

Good luck in the challenge.

Well, what else is there to look at at this location?

Looks like you picked the best time of day to get this shot. The color tones of the sunrise/sunset work well with the silhouette of the roller coaster.
