Candid Portrait

A beautiful portrait- your subject's gaze is penetrating. Howeves- this doesn't feel HK for me- specifically the vignette doesn't flow with that

Coming to Life

I find the title very suiting here- This defo feels like a real moment.

I keep coming back to this image- I have mixed emotions here!
+ It's interesting. It's creative. It has a haunting feel for me & a unique angle and crop choice that works for me.
- I know it's a fine line with HK- but it just feels blown out to me.

But to the important things- you helped me realize how badly I needed to clean my monitor. :D

High Flower

Comment:
I always find myself drawn to the natural symmetry of nature & this piece captures that feeling beautifully for me. However, as with most of the flower images in this challenge- It doesn't feel especially creative. I also like your choice of crop here.

Diamant Lumineux

Comment:
I have challenges with this image- It feels like such a random section of the ring that is in focus. I've never shot jewelry- so take this comment for what that's worth- but with diamonds I want to see *sparkle* or *illumination* or some kind of 'this is a precious stone' idea when I see the image of fine jewelry. This image just falls flat for me.

Toxic

I like the basic stuff here: The lines of glass in contrast with the roundness of the beads; the choice to leave the beads out of focus; having your subject right justified etc. Nice, clean, high key shot.

Yes, I find this to be a beautiful photograph, but I don't find it particularly creative in any way. I feel like I've seen it before...

Comment:
This image is very 'Arena Homme Plus' for me. While I like the split lighting... it doesn't invoke any sort of emotional response to me in particular.

Baptism

Comment:
The water here reminds me of stars...which I like! What I'm not sure about is the choice of focus. The left side of the photo seems sharp and my eye is trying to make the right half do the same. I like the movement of this shot- & I'm loving the tone.
