Tomorrow's child

My first thought was, no, don't jump. But now it looks more like the child is enjoying a nice breeze. Playing in the eddies, she feels the air flow through her hair, feeling free.

...something wicked this way comes...

While the smoke is interesting and leads me into the "something", the image lacks some in execution to meet the title IMHO. My eye gets totally lost in the in-focus area behind the "something". A park? I see benches, maybe a playground? Oh it doesn't matter. I also do not get the wickedness from the image itself, only from the title. Without the title, I just assume it's just a smoker taking a midnight stroll. Not sure what the shoe is all about. Maybe I'm doing too much to compare this directly to the other incredible image that is equally titled (which admittedly is not fair), but it doesn't carry the same emotion - and I think that's what this needs.

Great busyness about this photo. Waiting in line, walking his son, listening to music, leaning on a fence, business shoes, sneakers, blondes, brunettes, and hats. I can only dream of shooting humanity's variables in all it's grace like this.

Interesting. The even light worked well for this image.

Komatsu Backhoe

Comment:
Still mundane to me. Now, with a backlight, and the backhoe starkly silhouetted, I think it could have been over the top. Not saying this isn't a decent shot, only that the shot didn't transform the backhoe into anything extraordinary to me.

While I like the colors on your subject, I can't help but to feel like this is almost snapshot of art. Maybe there is more to this, which is why I'm not making the connection.

A Sound of Thunder

The butterfly makes the shot. Contrast, not visually, but mentally.

Turning the hunter around, so the hunter's face and the butterfly are both in the shot could have worked better... with the hunter focused on his target, but his eyes making a momentary glimpse at the symbol of innocence.

Someone Has To Lose.

Comment:
Looks like a lot of work went into the setup. Nicely done trickery.

I think the issue of why it didn't bomb is that it still looked wide enough and could have passed for a 20mm or so, which is probably the widest a few people have.

Nicely done. I like the simplicity of the composition. It's all we needed to see.

Not a fan of the processing of this shot. To me, it just looks way too washed out. Though I do think the subject is a good one for the title, I just wish it was processed/executed differently.
