yeah a little over-processed, i dont like the vignette in this situation, it makes him look like hes glowing or something, i was never a fan of that style.

nice capture though, maybe less headroom? mmaybe this is just not my style

I like the compostion and the softness in the background. I think a little more contrast would really put more emphasis on the plant itself.

I like the composition and B&W. It has a nice dreamy feel to it.

I'm looking at this on a very bright LCD laptop monitor so it looks awesome to me. I love the seperation light on her back and rim lighting on her forehead. If this were in a challenge it would get creamed, but as a side challenge shot I really love it's mood and drama.

This is an interesting composition and I really like the hard diagonal line created and the balanced dark tones on either side. The in focus area in the lower left kinda bothers me though. I would prefer the whole thing to be soft or the whole thing to be in focus..but not half and half.

A quiet image, and based on the info Bud pulled from the exif, a very good example of the wonderful bokeh the 50/1.8 can produce.

Hey Ben, this is a relaxed side challenge so don't think you need to rush!

That said, I like the image, its soft, has movement though more black and grey than B&W on my monitor.

I do like to see exif/shot data when I comment as I glean tips and tricks from it ;)

so took the liberty of gleaning that info for others...

50mm @1.8, 1/500 with 400ISO

This is nice - I like the diagonal of the branch and the way it fades to OOF.
