Leaf

Yes, lots of texture here. Solid image. To make it a bit better: closer crop to fill more of the frame with the leaf (even at the risk of chopping off parts of it)

Such a great mixture of textures here. Solid image. To improve it - red background pulls my eye away from the subject.

Dry

I can taste the dry! Would like to see a bigger dof and the lighting brought up a notch to see more of the texture inthe bread.

feather texture and color

Comment:
such great texture - solid image. To make it better - some pixel drop out (I know you can't spot edit), a flater background (right now it's so bright it detracts fromthe image)

Like the square framing, colors are calming and fit the image, solid image - to make it better -- lessen the crop on top/bottom (cut off part of the design) and play around with lighting to add more drama to the carved image.

oh I like this -- abstract impact and, upon study, I like the bit of black space on either side (perhaps even more would be good?)

Like the colors and the background - composition seems stiff with the subject straight and in the center.

Letting Go of it All
by SolaireFlux

Comment:
Your subject's pose lets me fill in the blanks. To make the shot better in my opinion, I'd like to see less of everything else. Cropping tighter on her, blurring the railing (as is it's fighting with her for my attention) The stuff in the basket is too small to let me know what you put in there but too busy to be a metaphor for stuff she's throwing away.

Like your idea of letting us see the result of letting go. I could be the angle but I don't get the sense of motion (looking in from the side might give me more of the splash). The colors contrast nicely with each other but the lighting on the water and the ball could be used to direct my attention to what you saw in the shot. As it is it's more of a 50/50 cut across the image.

Letting It All Go

Good idea here (vacation on a cruise ship?) but the details are too remote to connect me to a feeling of letting go. I'd rather be focused on one person in a lounge chair that trying to take in the whole scene.
