Nice capture. A little soft but still works in my opinion. Depending what you had to work with, perhaps including more of that rawhide(?) 'bone' and perhaps making the background less dominant (softening perhaps), make this better in my opinion. Also, not sure what you've done pp, but I can see black 'edits' on the shoulder/body, ear, forehead and snout/nose.

Good capture. Had to look hard to see if it was real. Difficult with the reflection(s) to touch this up, but no real need in my opinion as, adds to the candid nature/story of it.

Very nice. Good clarity in the eyes. Two small 'nitpicks'; tree trunk looks like it is crooked by a whisker, but could be natural or a visual thing based on her clothing etc at the bottom (however 'straightening' may diminish the tilted pose, so who knows) and the white something bottom right in the dark pullover. edit:removed TN

Nice setup and composition. The lighting is nice. The arums are so photogenic, like cats. If you have the chance to set this up again, perhaps trying to get some of the sunlight(?) into the cat's eyes, and possibly losing that lighter colored 'something' bottom left, make this even better in my opinion. Nice shot as is though, perhaps just the cat a little more dominant and the arums less so (less exposed - lighting).

Caught!

I gave this a 9. Excellent opportunity capture. Conjures a variety of mixed 'thoughts' but the bottom line is: it's genuine and captures reality. The pipe? - didn't bother me too much, in fact added a 'back alley' type feel to the shot in my opinion. Without it, still good, but not the same feel. The square framing was excellent and composition near perfect. A 'once off' shot. Taking the liberty of adding to my Favorites. Colors are also complementary and even more ironic, is where this was taken.

4 - Very nice shot, scene, architecture and perspective. Well composed and balanced ('lines' seem near spot on). Criticism; mainly the pp/effects - a bit too strong for this scene in my opinion (although it lends itself well to it & does grow on you). edit:rephrased & condensed

7 - Don't mind the grain/toning/pp effect(s) - gives it character. A more finely tuned crop, especially on the left (elbow not cropped, or else more so), make this even better in my opinion. Guessing the 2 sec picked up a street or porch/front light, which again adds to the feel and character here, so well 'used'. Maybe a fraction dark, not sure. A little less grain/etc (softer) in the face, likely also have helped this in my opinion.

The Temperance of Two Instances

7 - Nice use of the exposure effect - just wish it were bigger, 'somewhere', but realize this size likely doesn't do it justice. Doesn't quite look balanced in my opinion. Maybe more height frame-wise, not sure. The color, blue especially, is very nice.

8 - Very nice. Good rich coloring that complements and 'lifts' the darkness. Just looks like it needs a little more balance somewhere, maybe the horizon more centered and more sky (if you had it obviously), else maybe more water, not sure. A fraction more definition in the birds too, but likely difficult, retaining the detail in the sky as you have.

8 - Nice scene and colors. Good interesting elements with the boats with barrels(?) (don't know the correct term for the boat, sorry). The lighting is nice, as are the lines. This just seems it needs a slight nudge rotation up on the left to get it more balanced/level, but might just be the perspective it was taken at, so apologies in advance if wrong. Difficult, but perhaps a slight variation in the cropping, mainly bottom left, else the inclusion of the end of the boat(s) (if you had it obviously - although not sure on that as does work well as is) and 'somehow' capturing more of that clouded/dusky water surface, may have made this even better in my opinion.
