Nice framing. I like the balance of lights and darks for the Westony flavor. I like that the hair is washed out black to match the background, but I don't think Weston would do that.

Beautiful shot. If the shot had more extreme blacks and whites (more contrast) I think this would be near perfect.

I struggled with this one, but consistently like it. I think this somehow captures both Weston's pepper/shell/etc style as well as his building/door/window style. Impressive.

It looks out of focus to me, and even if it isn't, I think sharp focus is an important part of Weston's style. The lighting seems harsh for Weston, and I wish the background was darker and there were more light areas for more Westony balance.

Neat. I like your subject for the challenge. It seems like a pretty original take while still capturing the Weston style in an obvious way. Well done.

I think this barely works. I wish there were more darks for my read of Weston's style. Still, somehow I think it does look Westony.

Interesting subject for this challenge. I think I'd like it significantly more if the background was darker offering a starker contrast with the subject. Still, I think against the odds this comes off as a nice Westony shot.

Nice. Based on my take of Weston I'd like to see more lights, I think his shots are more balanced that way. I also think this shot would be more Westony more tightly cropped. Regardless, I this this is a great shot.

I am going to say I think this does echo Weston, just not in an obvious way. I think it's harder to quantify his style in landscapes. I like it.

Nice specimen. I think the biggest area lacking is lighting. Based on my read, Weston would have had more softer lighting for greater contrast between light and dark, and more balance between light and dark.
