Unusually good 'snapshot' portrait. models look happy and natural - fill flash helps a lot.

Good to a see another budding boarder too! : )

Beautiful scene. Light is a bit flat but your composition is great. Looks like a wonderful place.

Butterflies

Challenge link: medium - image is title-driven, so the relevance would be fairly lost without it. I can't see her expression which would show how indecisive she is.

Image critique: a very attractive shot - beautiful lighting and nicely caught. Well composed and a proficient photo.

Out-of-challenge appeal: I would probably revisit this and I'm sure you'll get a few favourites.

Challenge link: topical but weak: just a queue of people when viewed out of Challenge context.

Image critique: crisp and clear, with nice attention to the foliage in the foreground. Not particularly appealing in itself though and it holds little interest for me.

Out-of-challenge appeal: none.

Think I can get it home?

Challenge link: I see he's made a choice but I don't see indecision here.

Image critique: good capture and detail. Nice composition although there's a bit too much of the top.

Out-of-challenge appeal: cute, so I might come back!

Most Choices Aren't Black or White

Challenge link: weak.

Image critique: this is very unappealing to look at. It looks like a very poorly taken shot and frankly I'm quite baffled that this could not have been improved prior to submission. It may jsut about meet the brief but what is someone to think about this? If it's not desirable as an image you will quickly tire of it in your challenge photo list.

Out-of-challenge appeal: none.

Frivilous decisions

Comment:
Challenge link: medium/strong. (I wouldn't wear either!!). ; )

Image critique: competent shot, but contrast is too extreme in places and much of the dark areas has been lost. Not much to keep me looking really.

Out-of-challenge appeal: none.

The right decision is not always black and white

Challenge link: medium/strong.

Image critique: while it's well composed this doesn't hold much interest apart from meeting the brief. Lighting is quite flat and there's not much to hold interest for long. However, it's well focused and captured. Expression is good.

Out-of-challenge appeal: little.

Lets Go Jets . . . I Mean Giants . . . I Mean . . .

Challenge link: weak/medium.

Image critique: dull, uninteresting snapshot with a little humour (although it may seem like I don't have any - but while I mean no offence, this is a challenge and I'm commenting on pics from a creative photography point of view!). It's well composed there appears to be little creative input in the shot.

Out-of-challenge appeal: none.

Whew! He Loves Me!

Comment:
Challenge link: strong.

Image critique: crisp, proficient, stock art. Composition is too central for me, so just one fully petalled flower and getting closer would improve it. Concept is good, if a little tacky.

Will probably get in the ribbons (not that that will be anything to shout about in this challenge!!).

Out of challenge interest: medium - if you like that kind of thing.
