looking over her shoulder

I want to write this entry off, but the intersecting shadows keep bringing me back. I can't say I see the Weston in the shot, but I'm certainly not an expert. The shadows saved you from a low score from me.

The Wall

Based on my limited exposure to Weston I think I can see the connection and think it's successful. For me part of what makes this work is the dark band on the left that looks like it could be a crevice with darkness behind; an ambiguity caused by reducing the sense of depth.

Nice shot. The feeling I get is that Weston would have a more pristine, perfect specimen (a problem I ran into with this challenge myself).

Driftwood

Hmm, I struggle to confidently tie this to Weston's style. I think the biggest problem is that everything is not in focus. I think he would have removed the seaweed from this piece of driftwood as well to highlight its form and lines.

Nice shot. Based on my interpretation of Weston, I think your shot needs more contrast (whiter whites) and is too grainy.

I definitely feel the Weston vibe with this shot and I like it a lot. I keep on wanting to specify what I think it lacks to fully echo Weston, but I find that each thing I think of is actually there when I look closer. So I think what is lacking is subtle. I suggesting making your shot more obviously a Weston homage. Not sure how to do that. Very nice shot.

The bird and shadow are gorgeous. Lighting is perfect. I don't know what the weird rectangular areas are on the sand, but they seem out of place and distracting.

Avian Minimalism

Something about the building (or whatever the structure is) really detracts from this shot for me. I wish I either saw less of it or not at all.

The Gathering

I wish the lone gull up in the sky was sharply in focus. I think that would have really helped this shot pop.

Nice shot. It doesn't seem to have oomph. I get the feeling that the scale of the cropping is between two sweet spots (too small or too large).
