Very nice shot! The bird in motion adds quite a bit to this rather than if it was still :)

I like the concept on this photo, but for some strange reason, I want to see this light on the left rather than the right... I dunno why? - jmsetzler

Blew it
by Froober

Comment:
very nice use of a high key atmosphere for your photo :) excellent job at keeping the background even as well... the darker area at the top is barely noticeable. The high key nature of this image really helps deliver a sense of anger and stress to go along with this garbage can... nice shot :) - 8 - jmsetzler

This is quite nice... The composition is excellent and i particularly like the crop you chose on this photo... The dark background and the position of the subject create a nice 'negative' space in the image. The only critique I have is the uneven catch light in the child's eyes. Catch lighting is not easy all the time, but this is very close... great work :) = 9 - jmsetzler

Contrasts
by Gracious

Comment:
This is a very nice idea... I love contrasts, as well as black and white images. I'm exceptionally glad that you didn't terminate the diagonal in the upper left corner. I think that the off balance symmetry here creates a very nice image... The only item here that I don't care for is the direction of the light. I would rather see the shadows from the black beads cast into the black side of the image where they would be invisible.

Angles

I like the architectural implications in this photograph quite a bit. What it's missing in the architectural arena is a central point of interest. All of the windows in this view are imcomplete and the top corner of the upper building is clipped also. I do like the strong diagonal in this image. The blue tone in the sky looks a little uneven also... possibly from post processing....

Dahlia

Comment:
beautiful :) I'm giving this photo a 10 even though i have a critique... the uneven lighting on the flower seems just a bit odd for me... however, the overall wow factor on this photo is quite impressive. I'm glad you chose black and white also :) = 10 - jmsetzler

very nice :) The blue background sets off the gold toned statue very nicely. Giving 'life' to inanimate objects is intriguing to me... good work :) = 9 - jmsetzler

Eleven Dominos

Comment:
This is a very interesting idea :) I like the concept quite a bit... the light on the first domino on the left seems a little bright, but everything else works nicely :)
