Hey, there's a very familiar kid-o.

Lighting and processing are beautiful like usual, but I almost want to see another element to the photo; an action, an object... something. Kinda sucks when people know what you're capable of, heh. We want more!

Sure.. blind warrior, heh. They look so tough with their hoods on, but are so docile and... blind!

Beautiful gradient sky and backlight off the shiny leather. There's some weirdness going on with the back tightening straps. I'd be curious what in your processing caused that. There's some slight banding in your sky, so maybe you pushed your color too far?

Someone needs to moisturize! It's funny when you see creatures up close, because you see things you wouldn't expect. Like eyelashes!

Your focus and DOF look pretty good. I think I would have liked to see him with his head turned just a little. Those long narrow bird heads can get lost so easily in the background.

This is a cool idea. It's one of those situations where you realize just how dirty everything is too though, heh. There's several dust spots on both the mirror and the glass it's standing on.

The image seems like it should have a softness to it, but the black is pretty abrupt. I'm not sure if the black background would have looked better as something much lighter or maybe pull a color from the sunset (like the light blue).

Beautiful pose and black and white processing.

There's nothing I would change about this photo other than the model's smirk. Looks like one side of her mouth is open more than the other.

I think the hat was casting some yellow color on your white background. Playing with Selective Color and Curves helps to eliminate the yellow cast. Once you've eliminated that, you can boost the yellow back up in Hue/Saturation. Add back in the Contrast via Brightness/Contrast, and you're good to go.

I do have to say something about the fishing net. While it's a very cute idea, you have to be careful of the perception of fish net on skin, especially where the net is hitting the leg on this kid-o. Before I recognized that it was an actual fish net, I had a quick thought of "why is this baby wearing fish-nets??"

Also, careful to not cut off cute baby hands! =)

Push Pin

Nice experiment, but not so nice entry into a photo contest. There's nothing terribly interesting here. I've seen shots of push pins that were interesting, but this is pretty much a straight forward shot of a push pin with a tight DOF.

The colors and focus are nice, though!

Love the DOF and colors. Very powerful image.

Those are some very interesting markings on the cat. Almost looks like a flame above the one eye.

There's a great mood going on here, but the building at across from the exit distracts from the man. There's probably not much you could have done about it in basic other than try to blow the whites out there.
