Smooth and Ragged

I love the contrast of the smooth sand against the jagged rocks. Your title definitely supports what you were trying to convey with this image.

The Bride

I think that the image would have placed it as a bride if the dress was much more in focus. It is important when you choose a direction for the viewer, that the image supports it. It was more important to show a clear dress detail, and this image didn't do that.

Wow, what saturation on this one. Nice stop action. The black border on the top and botton seems to distract the eye from the image, though.

Nicely composed. I would have gotten rid of just a bit more on the top to get rid of all the blue portion of the sky.

Interesting post processing on this one. It creates a very graphic tone to the image. Very good as a clip in graphics programs for people working, but as an image on dp, I think it will suffer badly in the scoring.

Sunset

I think you may have adjusted contrast too much on this one. It really made the sun and trail on the water way overexposed. If you have a way of extracting that portion of it while adjusting the brightness and contrast of the rest of the image, it might have made a better, less glary image. Your rock detail is very clear and well lit, but the rest of the image doesn't really support the rocks.

Very good tonal quality and the detail of the skin on the neck is really fabulous. I don't care for the pose, though. NOt sure how to get the best of the subject on this one. I think for this subject, more relaxed would work. I am thinking the arms might be better not so stretched over the head. It looks uncomfortable. I see in his face a bit of a rebelious burning. That hard look could be used to your advantage.

I hope the horse is alright. That looked like a nasty fall. It hurts to look at it.

Love the mood of the dark sky. It would have been great if the lighting on the branch was better, to make it stand out almost in relief against the dark background.
