Paris, Las Vegas

I like the angle of view and coloring of this image. Some parts look to loose some detail as result of overexposure, especially towards the top of the tower.

Breaking Through

The sunshine part looks totally burned out, no detail left, and also the clouds above it look strange to me, a pale yellow colors as if extensive dodging was done. Looks rather unnatural. You have some great elements here for an impressive picture, but the issues mentioned, plus the fact I have no real other focal point, make this score lower.

A Study in Color

Comment:
A technically perfect image with great primary colors, composition and lighting. A good specimen as well. It unfortunately fails to touch me emotionally like some other good images in this challenge do, which is why it ends up a bit lower in my ranking.

All the Good Things

Very nice atmosphere, great clouds and reflection. I am missing some focal point and find the left edge distracting. It looks like a small boat is coming into the picture at the edge, cropping that away, up to the middle of the first large tree, would have improved the image in my opinion.

Night Torch

I like the night time atmosphere with all the balloon enthusiasts getting together, the warm glow in the front and the silhouettes and small lights at the back. I probably would have cropped a significant part of the top (without hurting the silhouettes) and a bit of the left, to get a bit more concentrated view.

Megalomania

I am sorry I find this image not particularly appealing. The large empty space does not work for me because it is just a flat and dull grey, I would have understood it better if it emphasised the enormous spcae around us, for example by using colors and having some great clouds in there. Then I also would have understood the title, which does not seem to fit at the moment. And finally I find the distance to the persons too big. A shot closer and more from underneath would have emphased the height, the ambition to fly. etc.

A master in his own genre. A great shot, beautiful model, beautiful surroundings and props, perfect lighting etc. Comments ? Not sure, but there is no apparent reason to bend forward (other then to show of course) and maybe it would be better to show part of her face.

The Kozak

Show the horse !! For me that is such an essential element, belonging to a kozak. But a good portrait anyway.

The details and colors caused by the backlight are great. I wonder whether a slightly more structured arrangement or a tighter crop could have improved the composition more, currently I find there are just too many flowers.
