There is too much processing done here. The shot has completely lost any semblance of a natural look and has become almost cartoon / watercolour like. The retouching has left some obvious marks across the face and has made the material look almost plastic in some areas.

Ignoring the processing, your lighting and exposure are good. The composition is a little centered, and while I get what you are doing with all the material, I think it's too much and is taking over the shot.

Nice shot with good detail and lighting. Don't particularly like the double line border though, I think the shot stands well on it's own so something simpler would have worked.

Don't really get the title, but it's a fun and unusual shot nonetheless!

Interesting almost impressionist style shot. The motion blur gives an every day scene a bit more interest.

I'm torn between whether I like it or not. At a distance it's nice, but close up when I start to see the details more clearly it doesn't quite look so good. Giving this a 6 for now.

Great unusual shot. This looks like something you would see in a high end fashion mag. Love the combination of unusual features.

The contrast is just a tiny bit high for my tastes, but only really noticeable around the model.

This is a little too centered for my linking. You seem to have a vast landscape to work with here, I would have loved to see the isolation, especially given the threatening sky overhead.

Otherwise, good colours and contrast, and I like the depth of the scene. 6.

Very nice moody shot. I love the two figures against the brightest part of the background, and the fact that the are sitting between the large dark cloud and it's reflection.

The composition and the tones are all excellent, I don't mind the centered horizon at all here, I think it works for this shot because of all the other elements. 10 from me.

Bride to Be

I never like partial desat shots, and this one falls right in there.

Taking an objective view, the composition is quite nice, but you have made the flowers the main subject by removing the colour from the bride, yet the flowers seem to be slightly out of focus.

The area of the shot which is in B&W seems to have a lot of grain. This might work if it was the whole shot, but because of the coloured flowers it has actually ended up feeling like you have two separate images, one superimposed on top of the other.

Interesting and unusual bird shot. I like what you've done here a lot, but I'm just not sure if there's enough contrast between the bird and the background.

I think the problem might be the white area you have at the top left of the frame, it draws my attention because of the fact that the rest of it is so dark. When I cover that part with my hand the whole shot looks a lot better and the bird stands out much more clearly against the background.
