Spring Flowers

A bit too soft for my tastes. Having a third blossom would also add a bit more effect to the shot. (Not just because its a triptych but generally odd numbers have more visual interest)

Blackbear Creek

Comment:
A little over processed (over saturated and over sharpened). The bear appears a bit bristly.

The composition of the creek works well as it leads your eye from bottom left to top right. Positioning the other two pictures to make use of this might have been effective.

I really like the theme you chose and the way you incorporated color to tie it all together. The colors are nicely saturated and each frame has a good composition. The triptych is well laid out seems to take your eye effectively to each frame.

Just for the record, I don't think the score is bad for the image. I'm just looking for areas in which it could be improved. (Since I had ONE comment during the entire challenge).

hold still - the makeup artist at work

Interesting colors in this shot and I like the catch lights in the models eyes. Normally I don't like when a subject is looking out of the frame but the model is looking at the makeup artist so it adds some nice "action" so to speak. A little overexposed particularly in the hair and the neck. Were this in advanced editing I would clone out the stray hairs.

tungsten or daylight, that is the question

Interesting approach to the challenge. (Which did you use by the way?). This could use a bit of straightening but nothing major.

Something about the composition is a little "off". Part of me wants to get rid of some of the stairs however I like the play of shadows/light on them. I guess its the dark area around the lamp that is the problem for me.

Well done in any event.

A smaller border would be nice here. The thick border is somewhat distracting.

The composition works well and draws your eye to the sun as the focal point.

The subject appears to be the flag however it gets lost in the trees in the background. Not sure how to get this so it still meets the challenge and avoid getting the trees in the background.

Nice silhouette. Remember in basic you are allowed to clone out sensor dust. Other than that this is a nice picture which has good detail.

This does meet the challenge but the sun creates a really big blown highlight which is really distracting. Getting behind the tree to "cover" the sun would have helped.
