this is Berlin, isn't it? Great use of the location with that single person in the distance and the lights and shadows add even more mystery to that impressive memorial

a very interesting portrait of a city - I was looking quite a time and watching all the different features at display. The vivid colours are really appropriate, sharpness spot on. The laundry on the right edge is like a funny treat - the size doesn't seem to fit at all (guess it was a side effect of fixing distortion)

I think this picture should have scored much higher.
I gave it a 7. The background colour is somehow unappealing. I would have changed some tones to lean more to blue.

Dear Fina

So sorry that your lovely firework display didn't score better.
The Challenge was about a resolution - something you want to achieve or change in the New Year: that is missing in your picture and maybe the reason why voters didn't rate it higher. This picture would have done better in the "Holiday Cheer" challenge I think.
Can you handle postprocessing? To darken the sky might have helped too. If you want me to help you just contact me, ok?
Don't be sad, just go for the next time

Wonderful collection of the different aspects of being a woman - young, old, working, sleeping, being a lover and a mother... one can relate to so many situations. Altough many of the pictures are telling a story of their own the impact as an essay collection is much stronger.
My favourites are femmes #5 and #14 but the picture that stirs me most is #19. There are so many questions arising! The pictures taken at the museum give a more cultural emphasis and the last one is like an exclmation mark.
Love your work!

I had to look up what Pauls comment means in my English wordbook, so I found out that it's to the point. I can't say it any better.
I also love the idea of the quotations.
It's a very U.S.American essay- but any viewer can understand it, it's like a witness to history
