Is this another Librodo special ?? Whatever the case may be it's a ten from me. Intensely emotive portrait. Well done.

Very simple creation here - but it really is quite effective. As an added bonus it's always nice to see someone use a border tastefully. EDIT: I just noticed that you have a 100 to 1 comments given to received ratio - you've commented on a bunch of my photos, so I'd just like to say thanks for the huge effort you make.

Cheers

Anders

Split ends

This is an extraordinary shot.

I love the way the Barbed wire separates the dark ground and the white sky so clearly - but then the light strands serve to tie the ground back to the sky.

Well done.

I gave this a ten, felt it was one of the more interesting and creative approaches to the challenge. That you managed to catch the yellow jacketed bike rider as he passed the bike sign simply boggles my mind. This is clearly one of the best composed and richly nuanced images in this challenge.

I think this would have worked better with just the lips and the microphone - you might have offended some with the potentially overt sexual connotations but the presence of the nose detracts from an otherwise extremely accomplished shot.

I tried commenting on this one - but I added it to my favourites before submitting the comment :P. Basically what I said was this is a stunning image, you look positively serene - Glad you kept your eyes shut. One of the better self portraits I've come across. Such a shame this wasn't a true yellow - if this was an orange challenge you would have been shoe in for a ribbon. Still, it's verging on a travesty that this didn't break six.

36 1's 2s and 3s will do that I guess.

Terrific pose, great lighting, I can't quite make up my mind about the extent of the negative space - I intitially thought there was too much black, but on revisiting I think it works really well.

Thought this was yours, really terrific shot - definately a top 5 image. Really like the high key effect - its nice to see a high key shot that isn't white!

As an added bonus you (with the help of the model) have managed to make this obviously unnatural pose look relaxed, sincere and serene.

You got a 9 from me.

This image has so much potential - but there are a few issues - firstly its slightly overexposed at the top - I find this really distracting. Secondly - you should have made it larger - its hard to see the details and properly evaluate. I would definately go back and reshoot here if I were you, it's a terrific scene.

Raining umbrellas

This is such a shame - if these umbrellas were crisp and in focus you would have been in the top ten comfortably. Terrific Idea.
