EXCELLENT use of selective desaturation :-) It doesn't shout at you, but it makes its point. I like this very much. She seems so resigned... A pause that refreshes would seem to be in order here :-)

A Tribute To Norman Rockwell
by RolandB

Comment:
I don't understand the title, because to me the image in no way whatsoever resembles the work of Norman Rockwell. It's a nice shot, though...

Tribute to Cartier-Bresson

Comment:
The famous V-J Day image was shot in Times Square by Alfred Eisenstaedt, not Cartier-Bresson:



Not that it matters to the quality of the image, mind you, just a footnote for ya :-)

Waiting to Die
by Dr.Confuser

Comment:
I strongly dislike the title, which seems to me to be demeaning: how do you KNOW she is "waiting to die"? It's like you're imposing your perception on the viewer, trying to steer him in a certain direction. The image does not require this; it stands very well on its own, it's a strong image.

Bringing Books To Life!!

I love the concept here. The execution is so/so IMO, but this does not lessen my enjoyment of the image one bit. Well-conceived and decently delivered to us :-)

Winter romance

This is fine lighting/processing as far as mood goes. The sharpening is a little harsh (or something is, see the hill halos) but overall it works.

The Face In The Distance

I am sure you will not be doing well with this one, but I'm in love with it. I thin k it's a wonderful, deadpan-evocative image, hollow and desolate and poignant, and I am giving it a 9. For me this has the essence of "personification", int he sense that the place itself seems freighted with expressed emotion, without you having to use any gimmicky tricks to express it. This is the real thing. Good luck to you!
