Strike a pose

Very cute and good lighting. I do need to put on the uniform of the JPEG police for a moment... (Ahem, don't look while I change.)

There is some compression artifacting visible, mostly around the glasses, but a touch around the lips and teeth as well. There is also a bright spot on her upper right cheek, just under the corner of the glasses. I'm not sure if that is JPEG artifacts or from light refraction through the glasses. Looking at your file size, you only used about half the file size that was available to you. You can use less compression and eliminate a lot of those artifacts. Alway use the lowest compression ration that will get your shot in under the filesize limit for a challenge.

Quit staring me down while I try to vote! It won't help!

Other than the top of your head being slightly cut off (which, given the care that went into his picture, I think was intentional), I like this. Good color and clarity, nice lighting usage.

I love the snarl on his face. Other than a little shake visible on the edges of the fingers, this is great. Making it a fave.

Reflections

Colors in the face seem a little washed out. I like the fact that you tried to use the reflections, instead of avoiding them, but the house across the street just doesn't work.

Your Reading Reflects on You.

I really like that you used the reflection instead of trying to get rid of it. A touch more of the left side of his face might have been good, but it's good work, regardless of my minor quibble.

The background is a little distracting from the subject. Not sure I really care for the look on his face.

Ummm. I think the may have done better with a pretty woman in this pose. What are the ladies thinking of it?

I'm not caring for this one. The tip of the cigar is more in focus than the person. The comp is good, though.

A fun one. I like the strong colors and the toungue. I can see through her glasses and here eyes just a little. I think either the glasses needed to be darkened so here eyes are not seen, or lightened up so they are more visible. As they are, it is mildly distracting and changes the view of the image once you notice they eyeballs. Still worth a good 6.
