Bonnie Blue

At first I thought the face was too grainy but on closer inspection I see it is just the texture. Good lighting, the harsh glares on her hair at the front don't bother me at all. This is one of the few color desaturated photos Ihave seen that I like.

The Bath

Comment:
For some a very sacred place indeed. Nice lighting, no glares at all except for the candle light in the tiles, but that isn't bad. It took me a few seconds to realise the bath is full and foaming. I hope you didn't waste that water and jumped right in there after the photo :-)

In My Little Town

You used a polarizer huh? The sky is a very deep blue, especially at the top there, or maybe it was taken at dusk with the sun going down in the background. In a way the lighting does seems a little off. The top is too dark in comparision to the church, and the left side looks brighter than the right side. Going from the glare on the door I guess you used a flash on this photo. Personally I would have liked to see the whole steeple with the cross at the top still visible. Otherwise a quaint old little church.

Had this photo been larger and with everything in focus with the saturation pushed up to bring out the greens and reds more, it wold have done a lot better. The natural framing using the tree and branches adds to the composition, although that one branch hanging down from the top right is distracting.

Atop Sacred Ground

This would have been amazing had the sky been deep blue contrasting against the fog sitting behind those trees. The overcast day has prevented you from bringing out the colors the way you wanted, which is a pity. I guess we can't all have sunny days and blue skies all the time.

On Solid Rock I Stand

Looks like something out of a scifi movie. The saturation is very rich bringing out the greens, blues and reds to full advantage. Top composition too.

Lovely B & W pic, especially the way you've captured the sunlight only on one portion of the building. The shadows are still light enough to see the details of the church. Way to go Reykjavik :-)

Sacred corner in my house

Good DOF, going shallower towards the back parallel to the white to purple gradient. It comes over very well.

Bow

A very appropriate title, and I like your idea of differring contrasts here. There seem to be three phases. The tree at the front is in high contrast, the trees behind less and the cemetary out the back even less, as if it is in the fog (which I guess it is).

Sacred Worship

The smoke in the light effect is fantastic. The people with their arms up in the air is a good capture, the red light from the right and the bluish light from the left increase the impact a lot. The crop is a little uncentered, I would have given a little more space to the girl on the right, or less to the girl on the left. (9)

Looking at this again I only just realised the guy is holding a guitar.
