Waiting....

you've told a great story with your title and shot. to make this fine shot a bit better i'd like to see a bit more light on the model's left to pull her away from the background a bit. overall very well done - good use of B&W and i like the blown out windows as they've lost detail and have me focus on the model - the furniture thing anchors the foreground.

this nature shots is among the few this challenge that works for me. you got the background color and exposure just right. the sparkle on the few leaves adds interest. bol

perhaps a leaf in better condition would make this work better for me? the brown spots take away from the abstract feel but don't add too much in interest

Light and Fruity

Artistically arranged still life - like your use of green and white and the tulle (?) fabric -- minor nit is the lower right corner. The light under the grapes is perhaps too blown out lower center. This did enable you to get the wonderful dark background on the top.

Interestingly different! The color and light make this a photo I wanted to study a bit (hope your notes say how you did it)

I'd like to see a bit more color in the sky and foreground. Definetaly fits the theme.

This is a wonderful shot (the white border is a bit too wide for my tastes) and the simplicity is its strength. That said, I don't think it fits a Travel Guide -- perhaps a title that would help me know where to go if I wanted to visit here??

Creative shot -- very well composed, (a bit of an odd glow around your main subject??) I don't know if the artistic/watercolor effect says "Travel Guide" to me but I do like the colors and the light effects.
