Very nice, I really likke the tonal range, the sharpness and the contrast, including the contrast between the soft, diffuse image in the window and the roof/shingles, etc. To that end the reflection of the building seems somewhat out of place. The other comment is did you look at trying to improve the distortion due to the pov? Ideally since everything is squared off the window would be square too. Overall great vision, excellent B&W conversion, keep working on this it could be really specatular.

Day Four: CORNERED

I'd consider cropping down a bit, the bumper with the dark/bright areas and shapes tends to compete with your main subject. Beautiful clarity and great catch lights in the eyes.

Day Five: Catching Flies

Great capture, he is a natural! Very minor point, but his hand on the bottom is somewhat distracting. I really like his skin tones, perfect for a child.

Day Six: Appena una pianta
by Art Roflmao

Comment:
I like the framing and the high contrast really bringing out the detail in the leaves. The lighting here is fantastic. If I could change anything I would like a bit better dof on the leaves, the lowest is somewhat distracting since it's blurred. The background between the upper and R leaf is also somewhat distracting and would would be better if it were simpler and a bit darker. Finally the small blade of grass in the LL corner is somewhat intrusive (imo of course). Overall nice job,

Day 4 - Bleak

I like the high key look , but the compositon doesn't quite do it for me. I wonder if a pov that makes the main lines on a diagonal would help.

Neat moment capturing him sitting on the wall reflecting or reading and in from of the Picasso really refects your great vision - you have a natural talent for that, for example..


Here the tree and the wall he's sitting on tend to cause very strong breaks making the L side of the picture and the foreground just empty dead space. The car also distracts from the mood as well. I think you may be able to either frame this better in camera or cropping to take care of some of those things. Overall I like the processing too. Nice job, Jack

DAY 5. B&W. driving .

This is a great image, really has a lot to say and the sign is perfect - overall it says "there is a crazy world all around you keep going, do not stop". I do think it would be better if there was more of her face, a bit more light, etc becasue the rest of teh picture is so busy both from subject and areas of brightness and high contrast it is tough for her to compete. Overall I think we are mostly interested in the person and the "crazy world" part of the image gets the point over well and could probably do so effectively while giving up a bit of space to her. Regardless, I agree with everyone - really very creative vision.

I don't like this one as much as the first (which is ok since I really liked the first one). The very moody sky is again spectacular and orks to draw me to the main subject. There doesn't seem to be much detail in the water though and this leaves a dark, black wedge between the beach and the sky. The L foreground is somewhat distracting with the tracks drawing us out of the picture, and finally the casual and very sunny face seems somewhat contradictory to the overall moodiness. I'm being about as picky and harsh as I can hoping that this helps, overall I do like the shot and look forward to more. Again all of this is obviously just my opinion.
