Mystery

Based on the title, I think the blurriness/graininess works well. However, it seems a little dark to me, which does add to teh mystery, but makes it difficult to see. Very artistic.

Black and white shows the contrast of the smooth texture of the cherries and teh rougher texture of the hands very well. I can also imagine that this shot would be awesome in color as well.

The one great certainty "No grey area's"

Having the boy dressed in dark clothes helped set the "mood" and provided a good contrast. I almost felt like he looked kinda stiff and formal, but then again, that goes with the mood, I guess. His facial expression is very somber and solemn, as it is supposed to be.

Cats look so innocent when they are asleep. :-) I really like the way you've done this -- framing, lighting, focus, etc. Very well done.

Nice capture of the expression. It's a little too bright on the left side, but I'm not sure if that is a serious detraction.

This picture is too sharp/pixelated. It looks to me like a digital zoom, or trying to stretch a low res picture to be bigger. If possible, try to take teh picture at your camera's highest resolution, then you will have some room to crop, etc. It's composed well, and I like how the flowers are focused, but the background is not.

Hilarious. If this wasn't set up, I can imagine that somebody came chasing after you! :-) Black and white works well to tone down the variety of colors that are obviously there.

That's an interesting way to frame the shot, but there is almost too much frame and not enough picture. I like the colors -- the blue against the bricks.

Ah, wide-eyed wonder. Good composition, and interesting approach to the challenge.
