This is a GREAT image. It brings about strong emotion. It makes me angry. Very moving.

I'm sorry but to me, one of the two of them looks indifferent. JMO.

7 - This shot opens itself up to a variety of interpretations on what this is about/story it tells, in my opinion. Good and unusual capture. The gold, especially the candleholders in the background, add a good element. Criticism; not much, perhaps emphasizing that 'gold' (including the cross) 'somehow', a little sharper as well, not sure about the reflection on the temple/head, because that could add to 'stories' too. Perhaps a more refined cropping and as just mentioned, trying to gain a fraction more 'depth' and 'drama' overall in this shot, may have made this even better in my opinion.

Very interesting shot. The comp is beautiful, but the house and powerline elements are a tad distracting. The highlights on the edges produce a slightly 'oversharpened' look. The shot has a ton of potential, and I'm interested to see more work of the same design.

Great colors, a very romantic scene. The angle of the shot is great, too.

I was completely swamped during the voting for this challenge, and didn't have time to make a single comment. In fact, I'm letting my membership lapse for now, as I don't have the time to contribute to the site the way I should.

I like this one a lot. (I'm working to be a professional photographer, of children amongst other things, so this appeals to me.) Candid shots are the best, and this certainly qualifies. The only suggestion I might make is to leave a bit more negative space in there. That is, zoom out a bit on this one. The background is pretty interesting, and while it might overpower the girl, I think it might be worth investigating.

Love the oversaturated, overexposed look, too.
