beautiful work on the left of the photograph but what this does it pass on the line? The black is invading and creates pretty unbalances

Cute subject. However, lighting is very harsh resulting in harsh shadows.

I have always wanted to do this but can't find a friend either brave enough or foolish enough to want to join me!

Nicely done. Good reflection and use of space.

Must admit that I scored this too low (gave it a 6, should have been at least an 8). Beautiful shot & execution.

Cute stockings! The background and shadow is distracting.

OK, sorry this took a few days. Yes, it looks like there were a few DNMC boobirds out there, but they couldn't give you below a 3, so that means you had something going here. Personally I gave it a 5 and the biggest drawback I saw was the clutter of the needles. The foreground blur looks more chaotic than patterned and I don't think it's appealing.

It looks like it needs more contrast. I added 10-20 in PS and think it looks better. You need to mask off the snow because it blows even more than it is already, but the rest of the picture looks better.

The composition is nice as far as rule of 1/3rds. I go back to the shallow DOF and the chaotic needles, but there was probably no way around that.

Nice composition. IMO a little bit out of focus

Reflection shots can be very pretty. Nicely done.
