the Hair

This beautiful woman is the antithesis of those glossy fashion shots filled with bored-looking models. You have captured a sense of fun and joyfulness in her animated and sparkling expression. The wind in her hair enhances that joy and exuberance; therefore, the shot works very well for me. I would crop even tighter so that she fills the frame even more, especially down from the top. Let her own this picture. 8

Worth Losing the Hat?

Great idea, and the leaning forward gives the illusion of wind. I would like to see the hat in perfect stop motion. An interesting framing would be much closer to your subject with the hat closer to his head. I feel this because only those two elements show wind. Everything else in this photo seems deathly still.

Unique take and point-of-view. The elements conflict for me. The motif in the background, the air-filled tube and then the image on the right edge of your frame. My eye and mind cannot find an easy or interesting place to rest.

Lots of broken lightbulbs. I think that this is technically a nice shot. The purples and yellows just don'e work for me in this case. The soften the impact of the image. I think that, given your title, that is what you were going for, but I would like something grittier and dangerous-looking for this challenge. Just a matter of taste so a 7

Eerie and disturbing. I guess not so much more disturbing than Malibu Barbie. This works well for me. 8

Brutal and stark. It certainly fits the challenge. I love the choice of high key. I am uncomfortable with the cropping. Too much ditch, not enough car. 7
