Escape from the Swamp

This is great. I feel like I may actually escape this swamp if I keep up my momentum. I didn't even realize I was in the swamp until I saw this.

Yeah, I get sadness out of this. Not the pose, not the lighting, not the composition, but the right combination of everything. Well done. Success conveying sadness to the masses was difficult I think, but you pulled it off.

I like the focus, but as soon as I realize it's the eyelash, I wish it was the corner of the eye. Why I couldn't tell you.

Oh Mom,Where are you?

Gorgeous shot, gorgeous cat! I have trouble feeling sad as I am so taken by how cute that cat looks.

Took me a minute to recognize the ice cream cone. I like the framing and focus. For this shot, though, I wish the cone was in focus -- or at least a more obvious focal point. Though now that I have said that and looked at the picture again, I really like that both the line on the road and the model's eyes intersect at the cone. The line on the road camouflage the cone too much. Maybe if it had a bright red cherry on top -- or was a brighter colored flavor it would pop out more. Meanwhile, I don't think this shot portrays much sadness. Maybe it would feel more sad to me in a minute or two when the model examines the damage or puts it in the trash.
