His eyes just beg to be stared into. As a viewer my mind wanders and puts a story to this young fella. Wonderful job of telling a story, or at least starting one, with this stunning portrait. Bravo!

Some wicked power lines to deal with there - eh? Clouds look pretty cool. Getting ready for the upcoming 'Landscape In Portrait' outtakes? :D

Dan. How did I miss this! Very cool shot. Love the lighting. It's interesting how different people can see such a variety of images in everyday objects. I have one of these sitting on my desk! :D Maybe next time, you know they'll have an Abstract Macro III soon enough. He-he. Take care!

What a great macro shot. Lighting and clarity is outstanding! Well done. I hope you share some of your secrets in the photographer's comments when this challenge has finished and your photo is gracing the front page. :D

This one has to be looked at for a little while to really be appreciated. I hope that voters slow down enough for a good look, but with 600+ entries I wouldn't hold my breath. Wonderful color and a nice job of post-processing this to give it a warm, rich look. Good luck!

She really stands out with that dark background. Her face almost seems to have a grungy look to it. I know she has makeup on, but even her forehead and ears look grunged (is that a word? ). It's not a bad thing, in this case I think it works just fine. The foreground flowers add a nice touch, yet defocused enough to stay out of the visual way. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Mike is cool. Great detail and character coming out in his portrait. I wish the bg was a little less discernable. Good luck in the challenge.

I like the tone and feel of this overall. Jury's still out on the centered composition and the angle of his face. It's unique as a portrait from most of the others in the challenge. On this monitor (not a good one) I'm losing some detail in the black of his shirt and pants. Sorry about riding the fence on this one...it's "ok", not loving it, nor really disliking it. :D Good luck in the challenge.
