Not very sharp... did this have a run in USM? Some strange textures in the hair, not sure what caused this. His right eye needs a catchlight and although the smile is nice, I'd have tried a few more shots to get a slightly better expression in his eyes.

Cardinal sin of animal photography... subject too similar in colour and texture to background. Nice collection of subjects though.

Nice shot, dof works well. Composition seems unimaginative though. Perhaps if the boy was on the right edge of the frame and a bit higher?

Lovely shot, nice shades of blue. Composition is not bad, but not clear enough to make a shot with real impact.

A promising setting for a mood challenge, but the table is wonky, colour balance is too yellow and composition is unbalanced. Too much glare off the plate.

Not sure this evokes a mood for me... this is quite hard to achieve in an urban setting IMO. Shutter speed is a tad too slow, I'd have liked the cyclist sharper. Not bad at this speed though. Composition a little too cluttered.

Originally posted by SnapperL: the highlights are far to overexposed. You should use the highlight/shadow tool in PS.

Completely disagree. It's supposed to look like that. What would the highlight/shadow tool do anyway? The highlights are all deliberately burnt out. There's no info there to recover. That tool is way overused anyway.

Edit... oh, I get it... I must have just left a similar comment on one of your photos.
Another edit... OMG, I was right, how remarkably petty.

Very nice lighting. Good model. Not sure about the composition and the square crop.

A Pleasing Shot

Not sure what mood you're trying to create here. Wonky horizon doesn't work. Looks too much like a snapshot with a zoom blur added in PS.

Nice shot with a title that really doesn't fit. Foliage really makes this shot. Good shutter speed. Well composed.
