Despite the fact that the horizon line divides the image in half horizontally, this photo is stunnin. Very high impact. 8

The little deer is adorable, but the image is a bit overexposed, unfortunately.

Color & Texture

The colours and textures are amazing. I find the stark black border heavy and unhelpful, though.

Saw Mill In Infrared

The IR suits this subject very nicely, as do the sepia tones. Very pleasing image. 8

This is an interesting image, but too much detail is lost in the shadow areas for it to be fully effective. Curves should help you make some of the darkest areas a bit lighter.

This is wild, but I really like it.

Little Sister

Comment:
The skin tones are very nice and the child's expression is very appealing, but the blown out areas at the top of her hat are distracting, unfortunately. Also, the crop at the bottom is a bit too tight for my taste. I would like to see all of her bottom lip at least.

The Seedier Side Of Neon...

Yes, it was kind of strange that we both shot this. I knew as soon as I decided to try this challenge, though (and I don't try very many) that the Zanzibar's was one of the neon signs I wanted to shoot, simply because, despite its sleazy subject, it had the most "neon art" of any I could think of in our city. (I eventually did find a couple of other signs that were more or less interesting, but only more or less.) I took about 30 shots , trying to get one in which all the sections of the sign were lit up at the same time. The one I used was the only usable one of the 30 or so in which at least most of them were.

Interestingly, you chose to emphasize the sleaze element by showing a rather sleazy looking person outside the building (a very nice touch, I think) and including all the text at the bottom of the sign. I guess I was a bit embarrassed about the sleaze, and so "censored" the bottom of the sign.
