I think this is just fantastic... LOVE IT! It's dark, moody, and full of tension. Great job.

LOL - This is great! The cigarette just makes it for me. What a character. Yet again, you managed to capture the essence of a fleeting moment beautifully.

This is just wonderful! WOW... Perfect composition. Great eye for spotting it, and an even more kudos for pulling off such a sharp and colorful representation.

Like Kelly, I instantly thought of someone undergoing chemo. Probably because I have several close friends currently going through that trauma. Very thought-provoking shot - wonderfully moody. Terrific job.

This is stunning... The focus and DOF is really amazing - as are the warm golden tones. My only very slight nit is the slightly tilted water level. I know, it's an awful habit & pet peeve of mine, but I can't help it. LOL I still can't believe how you managed to get the silhouette of the swan and ducks so crisp and the gradual fade of focus and light levels in this shot. Really beautiful.

I think this would be one of the best ones if it weren't for the seemingly out-of-place catchlights in his eyes and the overly reflective watch. It's a great pose with a lot of emotion (you're REALLY good at capturing that!). I love everything about it except those two things.

Fun shot. Not sure that the crop is the best though - although not sure exactly what to suggest. I would also probably clone out the dark spot between his teeth. Great expression in his eyes and nice smile.

This is a good shot. I like the composition, and although the lighting is a little harsh on the sweater, it's not overpowering or particularly distracting. The intensity of his expression and the emotion you captured in his eyes is especially good. Nice work.

I really like this. I think the the reflective pose/expression is great and the lighting is good (although I agree that there are a couple of spots where the glare could be toned down with the heal/blend brush). There are a couple of spots on the scarf that are not desaturated (oversights when desaturating?). Otherwise, terrific job.
