Interesting. I think I know his story too well. :) Colors very well done. Composition excellent. DOF works, POV perfect for image. 8

coffee and the paper

This one intrigues me and I think its the darks and the lights that keep me coming back. Its just an ordinary moment but the subject owns this moment and this image (make sense?) You see the conversation going on behind her and you're tempted, but its more important to know what she's reading. The hands are very graceful, in opposition to the other women. Anyway, 9

A quiet read in the sun

subject is sharp, image composed well. Honestly, its not giving me much of interest to dwell on. A well taken image and a good candid but short of what I would consider a great candid. 6

Für Elise; Notes are there but she knows it by heart

I like the crop here. Cutting off her head makes the hands that much more important - excellent choice. Composition well done. Wish the hand was a little brighter - I know that's impossible with basic editing. Colors good. Image clear. 7

An eye on the Keeper

excellent DOF, nice detail in the feathers. Since you don't have the bottom half of the bird, a tighter crop might be in order. 6

Interesting subject. Not quite in focus (closer snail). Color a little jarring.

Excellent POV. Image a little small to determine clarity and focus. Crop works. Good luck in the challenge!

The oddness of the point of view and crop really make this image work for me. The toning is excellent. I want to know how you left those two green pots - I believe that somehow, they add meaning to this, but I haven't figured out the storyline yet. Excellent focus BTW. 10

Reminds me of those posters I look at while smoking... oh, nevermind. Excellent timing. Tripod? Must be. So wonderfully tubular. B&W conversion very well done. Crop and composition excellent. 9

I love this I hate this I love this I hate this. This is seriously excellent work. Still bouncing between wall and ground. High contrast works. Is it candid? Who cares. The answer is yes in my book. Would have liked a better title but I can't think of one either. 10
