I like the composition and idea behind this ad, though to me the womens pose does not look natural, she looks a bit uneasy or nervous.

this image would not make a good jewelry ad, the earing photographed well, but the lady in the photo distracts from the earing you are trying to sell

This is quite striking in a subdued, minimalist way. I wish you'd given us some subdued, minimalist text to show us how you visualize using that negative space..

SImply fantastic! The ripples each have a subtle hue which lends much interest to the composition. Your processing left a bit of a halo around the subject which is not overall distracting but worthwhile to mention. But otherwise, top notch photo with sharpness and detail. 8

I don't like to have the bird so much in the centre a bit more to the right and lower would have made this picture much greater. Still it is calm and beautiful but misses this extra thing that makes the wow of a great picture.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I like the use of humor in this photo (completely appropriate for these speed challenges).

The colors and contrast are very striking. The lighting seems a little harsh or maybe the photo is oversharpened - but I'm not sure that bothers me as it seems to be more of a style for the photo.

I like the composition and the overall framing of the shot. Nice work.

Great focus and reflection. I would try cropping so the bird isn't centered.
