Far from home!

I like this very much. The pose of your model iss pot on, as is the composition as a whole. My only slight, tiny, weeny disappointment is that rather than disapppearing to a vanishing point, the railway line ends rather abruptly with a horizontal line. Excellent work.

Eye Colors

A very novel idea, expertly executed. i normally hate eye macros, but this is amazing. I do, 'though, wish the umbrella wasn't reflected quite so obviously.

After the rain

A super rainbow, and well done for capturing it. the photograph does, though, need a little more work to make it a success. There is visible haloing along the sky line, and there appear to be reflections, as though the photo was taken through a slightly dirty window.

Rainbow of Colors Turkey Time!!!

Comment:
For me this is a bit of stretch for this challenge. The photo seems a little static, compositionally - subjectively, I would prefer the turkey to be in partial profile, or if it is stare out of the shot, to have a little more space.

Through Trees

You have caught some gorgeous light on the headland that we get a glimpse of through the trees - I wish we could see a little more of it!

Reading Rainbow

The idea is a good one, but needs a little more attention to pull it off entirely successfully. Personally, I would prefer to see more negative space to the top of the frame and a rather tighter framing to the sides, so that the ends of the shelf aren't visible. the shadows are somewhat distracting, but I can't give you any practical advice here, as I am a complete ingnoramous as far as artificial lighting goes.

i have no idea what this is, but it certainly makes for an interesting and visually stimulating abstract image.
