Hidden

Damn, now that's a 'fro! I like everything about this shot from the girls shoulders up - set against the background that hair is great and her expression (or attempt to hide it) is interesting. I would love to see the same thing but without the bed or whatever she's leaning on - just that stark white background where she's trying to hide herself. Trying to hide where there's nothing to hide behind - I think that would really take this to another level. Good shot!

Like the processing you used here. Quite a bit actually. Have to be honest - I hate the expression on her face. It's just not working for me on any level - scary, humorous, weird - just looks like a pretty girl who ruined your shot lol. But whatever, obviously it's an out-there shot and that isn't going to resonate with all viewers. Goofy friend aside, nice work.

Very nice. I like the high contrast processing and the 'pose' your cat let you shoot it in works well. Nice hint of some grain going on that enhances the overall photo as well.

Highlights

Happy to see someone else who likes a touch of cyan in their BW work. I think burning out the background sort of cut both ways here. It did highlight your subject, but at a cost of what looks like some very nice bokeh action. Not the most exciting scene, but my eye does move to the bright spot which I think was your intent so it succeeds in doing what you intended to do.

Day 6

All around not bad, especially if you aren't shooting portraits all the time (not that I do). Looks to me as if the focus fell on her hair rather than her face, and I think that holds this back a little bit. Otherwise it is a fine attempt.

Would like to see a little more detail across the face of the petals, other than that its a very nice photo with a suprising amount of background detail that doesn't detract from the subject. Well done.

Day 3 - The back side

Sort of like the muted tones as well. Probably not something I would pursue myself, but seeing it here I can't say it doesn't have a certain appeal especially with the subject matter.

Nice study of light and shadow. Just a hair deeper dof would have worked for me to get the whole whatever-it-is in focus while still keeping the backgruond blurred out. Very nice.

Nice tones and the shallow dof works well to isolate the subject. Good job burning yourself a vignette as well.

Ever seen a baboon troop sitting around picking bugs off each other? First thing that came to mind lol.

Nice photo, lots of interesting things to sweep the eye over. Good work.
