Dark Streak of Sadness

The original shot is beautifully composed, and the expression is priceless! The treatment does not appeal to me unfortunately - I would bet that this shot would be just fine without it.

Lovely composition. Unusually, the broken / textured background in this case adds rather than detracts from the image for me. Very artistic.

Lovely textures and a striking composition, but the offset angle of the bolt doesn't sit quite right for this. Also seems a little over-sharpened / topaz'd? Since the colour is not as important to this as the textures and contrasts, I'd be interested to see a BW version perhaps with a burnt vignette to focus the attention on the bolt.

Interesting composition. Nice use of blur but could have done without the noise right in the centre IMHO. Good OOB stuff.

Lots of fun - good OOB idea and execution.

The lighting here draws me away from the model on both sides, and the bed-head is rather complex and distracting. I'm also a little unconvinced by the soft focus - more 'soft porn' than 'fine art' here I'm afraid.

Superb lighting to define the 'teeth'. Overall perhaps a teeny tiny bit darker would draw me in more? Nice shot.

The deceiver? Spookily I can actually see 'his dark majesty' in the reflection. Top shot - completely OOB and very 'fine art'. Love it.

Hmmm. Not sure I can see where this is going. Perhaps a slightly tighter crop would demonstrate the dying section on the right hand daisy?

I can really see this hanging in a gallery, restaurant, funky bar etc. A shot with no real meaning, subject or colour but effortlessly entertaining and draws one in. Great job!
