I think the blur does not work on this one. Also there is too much heavy shadow in the foreground.

Great finish. It is about time you got one of those marks in your portfolio. I had gone over in my head what kind of thing to do with morning, and frankly you depicted pretty much what I did not dare do. Gutsy, and a delight.

I really like the composition of the boy and the arrows. I think the background boy in red may be a bit distracting, though. I know you need to capture the moment when you can, but I do like the out of focus of the lower left person in the blue hat. Too bad that right person snuck in while you were shooting.

The color balance seems to be off. Maybe a bit too much green or cyan?

Like the concept. Great dark background to highlight the red of the berries. Could have used a different lighting. Perhaps a bit more from underneath? I have actually used a sheet of glass propped on a couple of chairs with a transparent fabric over the glass, then used just a 25 or 40 watt bulb from below facing up, to get some more highlights.

Lovely tonal quality on this one. Why did you use the paint, though? Not sure why it is there. Anyway, the metal shine is well done, not too overexposed, and your darks to lights are well done.

Can't believe this guy was just napping on the job. Very cute. Doens't seem to really be an oxymoron, though. Anyway, some things that bother me about the image is the belly of the seal looks odd. It seems like it is a shirt or something, which of course it can't be. The white buoy and sail seem almost too white for the darker highlights of the seal. It was a neat capture, though. Can't say as I have ever seen such a unique moment.

Definitely an oxymoron, but this kid is not ugly. Really cute. The dirty face is just so endearing, and those eyes are awesome. Gonna be a heartbreaker.

Beautiful black and white. Very nice tones in the trunks and wonderful separation in the detail of the leaves.

I didn't think you could create emotion from a woody, but you did a fine job in this image. The lighting adds to the emotion of despair. Composition is really the best I've seen so far on the woody's.
