Love the expression on this one. A bit more light on the right might have put this one over the top. One way to add a little more light without flash is to use a reflecting board or mirror where the shadow is darkest. The light on the left would have probably reflected just enough from the right to put that part of the face in better light. I use foamcore board as my reflector boards. Available even at places like CVS Pharmacy. 8

Really clear and precise. Loved the tones on this one, and the eyes came out really nice. 10

Just Over The Hill The Sun Is Shining

Liked the concept, but your light balance is problematic. The dark areas are really dark and the highlights are really blown out. Perhaps a bit more work on correcting exposures in post processing, such as more dodging and burning. From the camera, a polarizer or neutral density filter definitely would have helped to correct the balance of light.

I think you put too much in the photo. I would have left out the outer books. Maybe replaced them with a curtain or draped fabric.

One of my favorite poets. This is a great picture. I love the detail and clarity of the butterfly. No pixelization at all and your dof was a wonderful contrast to the sharp leaves. I am a sucker for butterflies, and this is a really good pic. 10

This would be a great entry for hands. Like the detail and tone of the clear ruler. Using lower contrast was a good choice. 8

This took a bit of time to set up. You did a wonderful creation here. I especially like the touch of the door and sign. Looks like a magical garden. 8
