I definitely love this shot. There's so much emotion in it...her downcast eyes. I love the way her hand is positioned under her chin. The texture is fabulous and evokes a gothic feeling.

Intense. You lighted this perfectly. The shape is magnificent and captures the viewer instantly.

Oh my gosh, so precious. His eyes are absolutely stunning and its amazing how you got his claws to be so strongly out! I also love the little tuft of white. :)

Hummer

Comment:
This is a good photo. You captured the hummingbird in very good focus and with the shutter speed you really froze her. I think you may have gone a little overboard with the sharpening; there's a thick black line around your feeder and the hummingbird and it reduces the realism of the photo a bit. I'm sure some would be bothered by the inclusion of the feeder, but in another frame of mind, it gives the image a place of connection. There's a purpose and a motive in the photo which is always nice. I think the photo needs a boost in saturation, the colors are leaning towards the gray side.

END of the LINE

Comment:
This image has very good potential. The amazing patterns you've created with the lines are perfect and almost abstract in appearance. You funnel the viewer's eyes perfectly to the end of the train track...I just wish there was a strong subject we were being directed to. I'm not bothered by the grain...there's a vintage feel to the photograph which is great.

Last Light revisited

Amazing photograph here. I really like the touch of soft focus...it's not common that you see a soft focus in landscapes like this. I also like the slight distortion of the horizon...normally it wouldn't work, but it adds to the otherworldly feel to the image. Also, you have created a great line: rocks to sun, it really creates a beautiful and pleasing composition. One thing I'm not sure if I like are the ships in the distance...they aren't distinct enough to add to the composition.

Sunrise Reflections

Gorgeous long exposure! I always love the effect it has on the clouds. The colors here are gorgeous also. The multitude of shades of blue is so delightful! I also love the reflections in the water. The long streaks always remind me of watching Bob Ross's joy of painting. The peace in those paintings reminds me of the peace in this photograph. I like your framing with the evergreens, but I think it might be a bit too much on the right side of the image. That one tree is obstructing a beautiful mountain peak. I think the framing on the left side is a little more appropriate to highlight the beautiful mountains.

Absolut Textuality

Very interesting creative effect and use of texture in this one. The abstract nature of it is throwing me off though. I keep trying to read the text and finding that it doesn't seem to relate to the subject of vodka. The highlights in the foil (?) are drawing my eyes away from the outline.

Absolut Eggcellence

I like your creativity here a lot. I'm not completely sure if I understand the connection between vodka and eggs...but you created a very pleasing image. I also have to say excellent culinary skills with this one! Good use of the frying pan to pull your viewer's eyes to the subject also. I wish the background related more to the subject though. Perhaps using the stove and the lines and circles of the burner to direct the viewer's eyes to the pan and complement the shape of the pan also?

The Absolut Dad: Always Fun and Drinks Responsibly

I really like your concept here. I think it's absolutely adorable. I like the top-down perspective. The psychological connection and presence here really captures me as a viewer. The interaction between the girls and their father is touching. My eyes start at the little girl on the right, follow her gaze to her father, follow his gaze to the playing table and the girl on the left. It's the perfect triangle. I do wish the image was a bit cleaner. I feel there are a lot of unnecessary toys pulling my eyes away from that triangle. The lighting is also very flat and feels very "built-in flash" to me. A natural light and a less cluttered image would have been perfect.
