Gioia

Much bokeh! I like the diagonal composition and colors. I kind of feel like there's motion everywhere but the main focal point, which may make me go look for the dramamine ;-)

Romantic Simplicity

Pretty in an abstract way. The tilt of the candle is a little disconcerting to me.

Ouch!

Comment:
Nice one! I like the lit-up spines in the foreground echoing the sharp ones on the subject. I would increase the saturation and contrast a bit to really give this depth, but it is nice as is.

Hawk in the Oaks

Comment:
Leaves are pretty much framing the hawk. Wish the sky weren't so drab but I'm sure the hawk wasn't going to wait around for a better-looking background.

Little Red Riding Hood

Comment:
That does not look like a happy dog. The focus on the eyes is nice though they could use a tad more light to really bring them out. Not really feeling that the OOF foreground is adding a lot, but it isn't detracting, either.

Stamen

Comment:
Nice detail on the flwoer. I'm seeing sharp focus in the center and gradually less focus going outward, so I will presume the petals are coming toward me and thus are in the foreground. The darker spots on the petals do add a nice bit of dimension to the composition.

Forgiven

Nice composition and nice use of foreground bokeh (and some pretty bokeh in the back, too). Very much like the shadow of the cross on his cheek.

Caché dans la forêt
by cislander

Comment:
Pretty nice clumps of 'shrooms you found, and the foreground leaves of grass are a nice echo of the sharper ones near the subject. I think the amount of foreground is a little overwhelming to them, though. You could crop quite a bit off the bottom and some from the right and bring out the diagonal in the composition more strongly, as well as making the main mushrooms fall more on a rule of thirds line.

Veteran's Day

Comment:
Flag in the foreground does add impact. I would crop much tighter on the top and bottom to eliminate extraneous background, and maybe try for a sharper focus on the wreath.

OK. Not blowing me away, but OK. A tighter crop on just that right window with the branches and bokeh making interesting patterns might be fun to play with.
