To Coin A Phrase

Yep - title down to a tea. Personally find religious fever a bit much - the book mark maybe puts me over the edge very slightly on that front (though for many I am sure that will not be a problem). red stain in book mark hole is slightly distracting. Otherwise like the DoF and composition!

The Start of Leaves to Come

nice buds shot. caught at the right time. Nice DoF to focus attention. Maybe needs a tighter crop to increase level of interest in the photo?

There was water...

Lovely image. like the slight "grain" in the b&w style. Rocks on side of waterfall maybe slightly strong for my taste.

Stressed minutes before wedding!

Yep - stressed look captrured nicely, though perhaps not the most flattering of poses for your model! Maybe not enough "beginning" without the title, though.

In the begining of the game...

nice idea. Like the colour cast to the duotone. striking image - Maybe not enough "beginning" without the title, though.

The beginning of defiance

Comment:
my gf refused to do this... good job in getting the idea onto film (as such). Slight lack of sharpness detracts and it looks as though there is a bit of noise in the image generally. Maybe your ISO setting for a (presumably) indoor, curtains closed kind of shot. Consider applying a bit of sharpening to the pic (remember to do this last).

Compositionally, the apple might have been more interesting outside the centre of the frame.

..There was Light

Comment:
I was waiting for one of these - good capture of a reasonably obvious idea! Simplicity is good, but some focal point onthe horizon might have been interesting. Looks like you may have increased saturation to near the limits - maybe just loing some detail in the process in the waves.

After the Verb

beautiful image. Maybe not enough "beginning" and I maybe missing something from your title. Shame it is not advanced editing, as a bit more lightness & detail in the sea only would improve this for me.

nice capture and arrangment of your models, but I really want to see a few pixels more at the bottom of the pic.

Beginning of Spring.......Freshly picked Tulip

Comment:
nice idea - but you have lost too much detail in the highlights and increasing the saturation has made this very obvious.
