Jack pine gets lost in the sky background and too much saturation for me.

The same with this leaf image. The silvery tones are hauntingly classic, and the way the textures of the background leaves melt into shadows... is splendid.

Fantastic. I LOVE this. The editing is beautiful and the image itself is incredibly, intricately wonderful. I often try to take shots like this myself, but I don't think I've ever captured such subtle intensity like this before. :) Amazing shot.

Very compelling. Love the eyes. Great image and I don't care it it does not fill the frame. 9

Very cool picture. I like the dark sky, makes it seem more menacing.

Child Within

Comment by KaDi:
Greetings from the Critique Club!

The idea is clever. I like the use of selective desaturation. Because of the title and the feminine nature of the wings the manly clothes seem out of place. If not for the title I wouldn't have that impression. I first interpreted this as a child hiding within her father's closet. (I see you have a similar comment to this.)

The technicals seem okay. I don't much care for the large hole created by the dark shirt in the middle of the frame...blank spaces like this (whether black or white) can suck the energy out of an image and make it feel improperly exposed.

The composition could be a little cleaner. I feel the tilt of the bar within the frame gives an off-kilter feel to the image that seemingly has no purpose in regards to subject interpretation.

With so much butterfly showing I kinda expect to find a child attached to those wings. Maybe less of the wings showing would carry the concept of "hiding" further?

Overall, a refreshingly different idea for the challenge.

Keep shooting!
