Wow. can't tell you what I like about this, but...wow. Taylor is an absolute angel, and you've captured her beautifully. the DOF is perfect, the reflection on her eye, lips and hair bring this photo to life. this is my fav of the week so far. well done. PLEASE - print this huge and hang it in your office or den. fabulous. 9.
ps are all dads this sappy?

technically it seems fine, but doesn't really grab me in any way. there's nothing wrong with it...I just can't find what's right either. Maybe the yellow background is too overpowering? not sure. your lighting is the strength in this image.

I'd like to see more of this little guy. your gamma adjustment will lighten him up without blowing out the background too much. wonder how he lost his tail? :)

looks like you cheated your greens a bit. fantastic composition and sharpness though. 7 from me (above average :) ). Pedro

Self Centered

a little more backlighting and not so much cropping under this guy's butt, and this is a solid 8. love the subject, and really like the negative space above. it's almost like the shot needs the space for his thoughts.

Sculpture

i like the composition, but you overdid the red. the telltale signs of oversaturation (for future reference) are seen in the banding onthe roof onthe left, and the shadows beneath the structure. the flowers on the right are extraordinarily red as well. I wouldn't have desaturated the greens either...they'd have been nice for contrast.

Windmill at Night

Comment:
the perspective is a little disorienting at first. the blades of the windmill dominate the frame a bit too much for my taste. nice feel to the shot though...would also have worked for low-key challenge. :)

great subject. nicely cropped and framed (borders are growing on me). nothing wrong with a photo of a Plumb-bob.

At the Well

i love the composition, but would have preferred the focus be on the foreground rather than the floors below. either that or all in focus with a wider lens. the blur is a bit distracting. -Pedro
