"LADY IN RED"

To get technical on you, it's the males that have these trains of feathers. Peahens (female peafowl) do not have the colored train of tail feathers that the peacocks(male peafowl) do. So technically, this doesn't depict LADY in red at all,maybe a beter title would be "Dude looks like a lady" lol. I get the point though, and I'll let it slide. Just this once. :)
Your focus and clarity are great, and the angle and framing/cropping are also excelent. I like how you have taken up the entire frame of the photo with the subject. It is a very pretty shot, no matter if male or female. Good luck in the challenge.

This is a really pretty shot. I think it depicts the song well. Your focus and clarity on the water is simply awesome. Even in the darkness you can see the detail of the little waves. You did a great job of leveling the horizon, and the photo is divided very nicely. Great shot. Good luck in the challenge.

Wonderful photo, and excelent depiction of the song. I think it portrays it perfectly. I need to get me one of these guys. hehe. The background used is not distracting, your focus and clarity are great and the angle and framing/cropping are excelent. I think that the lighting really makes the photo. Great shot. Good luck in the challenge.

This is an excelent photo. I think it will be a 10 from me. I love the angle and framing/cropping and the focus and clarity are great. The detail shown in the boot is simply perfect. The background is wonderful. Great DOF and the sepia tones are great as well. I think the best part though is the feeling of the photo. It gives off a strong mood, and I like that. We kind of lose the border in the grass area, but still excelent. Great shot, and good luck in the challenge.

The colors looks a bit muddied here. I wonder if the water always looks like that, and if a level adjustment could have made it look less muddy. To show you what I'm talking about, I wanted to send you these links to a couple photos I've critiqued in the past. I will say the same thing about your shot that I did the other, I think it would look better in black and white. Here is a link to a color version of this shot... //www1.photosig.com/viewphoto.php?id=364242 and here is a link to a black and white... //www1.photosig.com/viewphoto.php?id=428152.
Just wanted to share those with you.
Also, I think your shot could use a slight rotation to the right. Otherwise, very nice. Good luck in the challenge.

The shadow on the left eye (our right) is the only thing that bothers me here. Otherwise, a great shot.

Still Sleepy Christmas Morning

It is uncanny how similar this shot looks to //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=10012 that shot from the body parts challenge. It doesn't really look like the same kid, but I'm wondering. The one from the body part challenge looks like he's got a freckle by his mouth, and this one doesn't, or it's hidden in the shadow. I'm curious to know if they are the same, or long lost twins. About the shot. Nice job! The background isn't distracting, the angle and framing/cropping is great, and the focus and clarity are just awesome. Really excelent shot. Good luck in the challenge.

Looks like Ben Afflek's little brother. I think his name is Cassey. Anyway, I like the lighting very much. The dramatic shadow is really cool. Focus and clarity are good as well. You show some awesome detail here. Great angle and framing/cropping. Good luck in the challenge.

I don't like this much at all. There is really no detail to honor this person with. She looks like a lovely girl, why not show that off? I can't comment on technical aspects like focus or lighting, cause there really isn't any due to so much post processing. The angle and framing/cropping needs some work though, in my opinion. You cut her nose right off. Sorry if I don't see this the way you do. Good luck in the challenge.

Oh i think this would have been so wonderful, if by chance you could have gotten a shot of him looking up at the music! I know how hard it is to get them to do anything, really. I entered my 2 year old this week. The focus and clarity are really nice. angle and framing/cropping are good too. I like how you have captured a moment for this child. Good luck in the challenge.
