Very pretty. Love flamingos. they are so wonderful to photograph. I'd like to see his/her whole face and maybe a contrastier edit but otherwise wonderful capture.

Beautiful. I love how there are curves all over. the ceiling live is curved, the banister is curved, even the steps are curved. Beautiful. Feels tilted to me. I think it's because that pillar on the left hand side doesn't line up straight but that's my only issue. I like this alot.

cool capture, never seen anything like it(the plant that is). A larger DOf would be helpful. and removing that distracting branch coming in from the upper left corner. It takes all the focus away from where the focus should be, on those spirals.

Lovely, simple, elegant shot. I think it would look better in black and white. but that's just me. Somehow the reddish tones aren't working for me. love everything else about it though. Great capture!

Very cool. I'd prefer less sky and maybe even a contrasty black and white edit. but still a very nice shot. the clarity is astounding. I hope you are doing well in this challenge.

Wonderful. This was captured perfectly. The black and white and the border enhance it even further. I hope your are doing well in this challenge. Good Luck!

wow. this is pretty cool. Only thing that distracts me is seeing some of the background on the left hand side in the middle. I'd prefer if the books completely filled the frame. And some more dramatic/dynamic editing could really help too. As is it feels a bit snapshotish but has huge amounts of potential.

Wowsa. What a beauty. Her eyes are nearly completely obstructed by her hair and her stare is still piercing. If her hair was out of her eyes I bet this would be Spectacular. The placing of her hand of her tattooed arm is a bit weird. I think one finger is down in the dirt or something because she almost appears to be missing half of a finger. Overall very cool shot though. Beautiful lighting and exposure and Black and white works wonderfully too.

Beautiful subject and wonderful bokeh created by the chain in the back. It looks a bit soft to me. like maybe the focal point was the chain in the front instead of the pendant. Would prefer the pendant in sharp focus instead. great composition though. and the black and white gives it a nice feel.
