Daisies

Interesting experiment with the Vaseline. I like the blurred vignette. I wish the girl stood out more from the rest of the image. I would like to see her with more contrast, and smoother skin. Maybe not possible with basic editing, but might be worth reworking without that restriction. She's a pretty girl and I love what you have done with the daisies.

Daddy's Girl

She's a pretty girl and nice gentle expression. I like the soft lighting. I am distracted by what seems to be over-sharpening along the edge of her teeth, nose, and hair highlights.

Ha, I like your composition! You got it all in: reads the newspaper, participates in civic events, not focused on fashion and the superficial, of a certain age (as evidenced by the hands). This is a portrait of a whole segment of the American population rather than an individual. Time for an OOBie.

Nice, Terry. I like the close crop, the angle of the face, and the sharp focus. I find it quite hard to do a good portrait without spot editing, and I applaud the image you have achieved under the basic rules.

What a disturbing and painful image. This shot really has a lot to say. I hope she's not as troubled as she appears in the image. Well done.

Congratulations on the top 10 placement. Very interesting subject. The background really sets her off and complements her style.

Wonderful photo. Gorgeous young man, dramatic pose, beautiful setting, and terrific PP. I just wish I could see his feet. Congratulations on the good score and high placement.

This surprised me when I opened the image. From the thumbnail I was expecting an insect. How special to be able to observe beavers in the wild -- as long as they are not cutting down your trees or flooding your yard. Nice shot. I like the way he is looking straight at you.

This is interesting. I wish I could see a bit more of it. I wonder if you could crop it closer and still maintain good detail.
