very emotive - the young man watching from a distance really makes the shot IMO

Wall of spears

Comment:
the grays of the image really emphasize the layers created by the scene - the foreground grasses, the river loping through the scene, the foothills and mountains beyond, and the layers of clouds above

the image does give the strange impression of not being straight with respect to the horizon - it may be the mountains, or it may be tilted - hard to tell....

Gone Fishing!!!

a quirky composition - it shows the determination of the bird to get its meal - i am not particularly fond of the crop though

cool insect - the details in the face and leaf below are very good - but the way the image appears to almost be split in two by the positioning of the shot takes away a bit for me

The Hour Of Gold

Comment:
the curved lines of the wave and how they capture both the golds, whites and darks together is very good - but i am not crazy about a complete lack of sharpness here

Outstanding image Deb. This really speaks life to me - and much better than a bunch of bugs, etc. Thanks for delivering the goods

three very pretty young girls - they look like good friends - and this will be a great keepsake for them

the shot itself has some issues with a busy and distracting background, harsh light due to the flash, and the fact that the girl to the right is partially hidden - in addition, the two girls on the sides appear to be uncertain about smiling (as if saying "cheese"), while the girl in the middle has a natural and calm expression

Intent... of 9 Decades

the textures are amplified nicely in the choice of b/w - an insightful and calm face, showing wisdom of the years

Black and Color?

a cute, relaxed, and flirty expression - the partial desat does emphasize her - but i am not crazy about the downward perspective

The Road much taken

the low angle light really gives the ground, the road, and the trees a lovely feel - i just wish the sun were not as blown (but i understand why it is) - maybe a slightly different angle so the road heads back a bit more left to right would have reduced the impact of the sun
