It's "Ok", but doens't really do anything for me. I think it's the centered composition but what else can you do? Maybe a higher angle? Perhaps a portrait orientation instead of landscape?

Composition is fine. Red in lower left is being pushed a bit. While this isn't terrible or anything I think I would prefer a little softer (less harsh) lighting for this one. Some of the yellow is getting pushed towards overexposure as well.

If you boosted the contrast too much that can cause strong highlights to go too far sometimes, at least in my experience.

What's there to "redo" here? It's a fine image as is. ;^)

Simple pleasure

Awwww...now this is sweet! ;^) And not a bad image either. He-he. In for a penny, in for a pound...should have shown the beer bottle label. Might have helped to drop the blue tone some - it's a bit overpowering and gives a cool cast to what should be a warmer color temp image. JMO of course. ;^)

Nice idea. Good luck in the challenge.

Sorry, but this is just plain weird.

5 More Minutes . . .

Ah, yes. That IS a simple pleasure, and dangerous too! ;^) That's why my alarm clock is on the other side of the room. He-he. As far as your image goes, it's composed just fine. I like the angle and it even works in a square crop as you've done. Exposure, clarity, focus...all fine. I know it's hard, but images can really show the dirt/dust that you barely see with the naked eye. That's my only complaint (a minor one at that) - a little more attention to detail would probably boost this .5 to 1 point in scoring.

Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Very well put together. I like the tone of the early/late day sun here. You did a nice job exposing for it. Good luck in the challenge.

This is a wonderful image. Great tone, exposure, and composition. There's a story being told here, but I'm not sure what it is - wish I knew. On the positive side it's made me think about it, which means your image is doing it's job of holding this viewers interest. ;^)

I get the impression that the girl is a granddaughter perhaps? Be my luck it's a model and no real story at all...

Well done. Good luck in the challenge.

This is quite delightful! Met the challenge very well. Simple B/W image, with a strong composition. Brave soul to go this way as you're likely to hear that it's "overexposed", "blown-out", etc... In the FWIW column, I like it and hope it does well for you. Good luck!

Based on the post-processing I think I know who took this shot. ;^) Had any "doll" images recently?

(Oops! Wasn't you. Sorry )

Anyway, I like the subject and the composition. Certainly met the challenge quite well. The tonal range is great. Not too fond of the aggressive noise reduction however.

Best of luck to you in the challenge.

edit to add the Oops! ;^)
