Interesting. Focus seems soft on the barnicles but not the black shell, might need a slight adjustment there. Good depth of field otherwise.

Good luck

Ohhh how cute in a weird kind of way. I think your depth of field was just a little off, his nose is slightly blurry but mouth is sharp (and probably really is sharp too) You probably didn't have much time to compose the shot. A polarizer on that water would help its dullness some too.

Good luck

Good texture but wonder if it would be better if you were closer and cut off some of the flower...my first thought was move it to the lower left corner. Your colors (especially green) are dull also, see if a saturation or curves bump could help. This has potential just needs slight rework.

Good luck

Hummm, I'm guessing silver since there doesn't seem to be any overlap or gaps between the spots...probably way off though.

Good luck

Nice, I like the lighting on the back and shoulder. I would normally want this sort of image more to the left to give it room in the direction he is looking but with your use of lighting you pulled this off nicely.
Good luck

Nice boken effect on the background but I think there's a little too much background and draws your eyes away from the main subject that has lots of potential.

Good luck

Neat idea, good representation of smooth texture. Nice colors and framing of subject.

Good luck

Very nice! Maybe slightly over exposed but still nice. Position is good and colors just make it.

Good luck

How bad did you get ripped for "this has no texture!"? In my eyes EVERYTHING has or can give the "feel" of texture just depends on how well you show it. Your image is a little small. I like the positioning of the smoke and the color (or lack of) is nice.

Good luck

Remind me not to eat at that factory. Good texture here and lots of colors, the border is clean and simple. I like the position of the string in your image.

Good luck
