I think that perhaps a different background would compliment the subject better than the stark white. You've got good focus and I think the centered composition could work, but not with the given surroundings. I also think a border would help this one.

"V" is View

This is really an amazing shot. The focus is tack sharp and the colors are nice and vivid without being unnatural. Phenomenal scenery - my only minor criticism would be that the horizon seems tilted to me (and not in the good artsy way). I think if you were to straighten that and maybe crop a hair off the bottom to remove the piece of visible dirt between the trees that this shot would just about be perfect! Really great capture - I scored it an 8 during the challenge.

Great focus and I like the B/W. The lamppost's angle is very distracting - makes everything kinda lean to the left. Almost looks like a fisheye lens, but the right side is perpendicular (based on the door lines)? She has a very interesting expression and pose, but the lighting is a little harsh on her and the areas above & below the windows/door. Certainly has a dated feel to it, but I agree that she needs something to do in this particular setting. Still, a good shot.

Again, love the presentation! I would suggest that the bottom left and top right are perhaps a bit too close in tone and expression/crop to fit in with the other two. Very cool...

Very cool shot(s)! I really like the composition, but would suggest that the bottom right shot could use a little more blue color (to balance the tones in the other three). Great creation!

You've got great focus on this shot and I really like the pose. Good tones too. My only suggestion would be to change the crop slightly. Have you considered cropping it closer on the left? Since her eyes are slightly toward the right, I think it might make be the better side to crop to get her more out of the center. Really nice natural color - great shot! :-)

Saint Francis Cathedral

WOW - That's tack sharp focus and absolutely beautiful color tones. I like the angle, but feel like there's "something" that's missing though. Not sure whether or not it's that I want to see more of the cathedral or if it's the trees on either side framing it a bit too symmetrically or if it's the shadow on the front of the building. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautifully appealing image visually, but I think the mind feels like it's not as interesting as it might be. Hope this makes sense. Technically superior job.
