She is a doll. Nice expression. Sort of feels like, I know I want to be angsty, but mostly, I'm just confused.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Coley...

Good rule of thumb: If you ask for an in depth critique, you should be willing to include your own comments with your photo when you submit it. Does this photo not have any meaning or interest to you personally? If not, it's not worth asking for an in depth critique. You have to care about it before you should ask someone else to do the same :)

This flower has a nice texture to it. I can see the tiny hairs on the petals. The composition here is rather static though. It's not composed in such a way as to highlight those finer details and give any depth to the subject. This particular composition also creates some amount of distraction from contrasts in the background.

The center of this flower seems to be the main point of interest overall. Maybe a very close shot of just that portion of the flower would present a stronger image. You could spend some time focusing on the elements that give a subject strength rather than the subject as a whole....

Keep up the good work.

I don't like the hair, but everything else is perfect and she's too cute :)

What a fantastic model you have there. Very very natural looking, almost candid, rather than poised, yet it is obviously a posed photo. Great lighting, great model, great pose. Love it.

The ball is so sharp, so different in color/light, and the background so clean that it does not suggest movement to me anymore, despite the movement blur. Looks to be more an image for the smart effect.

This must bne travelling at speed, and yet it is in perfect focus. That aspect is very good but there doesn't seem to be much more interest in this picture. I don't know what you could have done. This challenge is not as easy as it seems.

Interesting idea.. the background color in this photo could possibly be more supportive of the theme... = 5
