Low ride

I love the idea of this. The long shadows are great and I love the way they lead from the lower corner up to her feet. The backlighting is cool and the angle works very well for the shot. I really dislike the power lines going through the subject's head. The background in general isn't very well suited. The lines of the background, the building, the trees, the snow banks, get muddled with and distract from the lines of the subject. Compositionally, IMO you could crop a little more off the top and the right hand side, to exagerate the motion away and out of the frame. Reshooting this at a better location would be very worthwhile, I think. Nice exposure for the backlight.

Very nice soft light on her face. I like that we can see both eyes, although the near side of her face is very shadowed. I like the touch of light on her cheek, too. Wonderful job keeping shadow detail in her hair. Her bare arm in the lower right hand corner is distracting to me. It would have been better to cover it. I think that a tighter crop, with a not so centered compostiion woould be stronger; I would take off some of the spacwe above and to the left of her. WIthout the basic editing restrictions, I would suggest burning down her chest a little, it is brighter than her face. Although I like the lines of her neckline, covering more of the skin on her chest would make the face a stronger part of the image. 7 from me.

Nice lighting and color. (Very cute model, too). Compositionally, I think it would have been stronger to crop off more of the hood on top, and have her eyes less centered vertically in the frame. Nice job with the background matching the hood. 7 from me.

Cool effect and nice composition. The highlights on the right side of his face are blown out and missing detail.

Very cute. I wish there were a little more room on the right, around the boy's eye, and on the bottom. He seems just a little too close to the edge of the frame.

Great idea and well executed. I think more dramatic lighting (more shadows, even a little)would have enhanced the mood. -7

Very nice. I love the muted colors. Maybe burn down that right spot on the right in the background. It distracts my eye away from her face. -7

Stunning! I love the lines and composition. I like the selective color here (and I often find it overdone). Bumping to a 9.

Cool overhead shot. I wish there was a little more room in front of him, so his head wasn't bumping right into the edge of the frame.

ADorable. I love her expression. IMO, it would have been better to have her facing towards the light instead of away from it. The far eye is a little too dark (and has no catchlight) for the mood of this image, I think.
