My cup runneth over

Superb subject! The photo conjures up emotions of humble joy. I think that happens due to a mix of the harsh shadows of the flash, the great textures of the skin combined with the title. Way to sneak in the much despised water drop in a very interesting way!

Silently on the March

The title suggests movement but the picture is somewhat static. I do notice some dust rising and the footstep seems to be dug in a little which suggests a slight walk. If the foot was clearly in the walking position, the two would jive better. I do like how you have shown the musculature of the leg clearly depicting the human form.

Superb subject! Great use of light and DoF to bring focus to the emerging hand. Love the textures shown.

Great texture shown with the hairy hand, chin and skin. The B&W conversion is a little flat. There is a lot of dark shadow and the forground is somewhat too bright. I am noticing some pixelation along the edges of the fingers.

I'm not really in love with the composition. Using the portrait layout with all the negative space and horizontal subject cutting it in half does not really appeal to me. I think a diagonal rotation would have been much more interesting and appealing in this case. As far as the subject... lighting is ok. DoF is good as you can see the near and far range of focus. Good B&W conversion with a decent range of tones.

My prefered piece

I personally think the woody thing is a bit overdone. It's a great toy for personal figure studies and posing. Perhaps it would be great used as a part of a series. The picture on the other hand is very good. Such rich colors are hard to get with the white background. You got great exposure.

This has such a cinematic feel to it, like a piece of old film... Perhaps from an Italian film festival. (lol) The expression adds drama and the blur creates a sense of mystery. The subject is alluring in this scene.

I don't really think the reflection is necessary here.

Grat colors and lighting... all even except the one little spot of light. Beautiful colors. It looks a tad blurry or maybe the focus is a hair off. Otherwise it is a great classic style still life.

Nice tones with the lensbaby! The blur on the bottom drives your eye right to the subject... I'd like to see more blur here so maybe try a larger aperture disk. I like the one streak of light on the kettle.
