I hope this does well. Some people may pick on the blown highlights and the extreme lightness of the hand but this, to me, looks like an ad from a very high end store. I hope others see the art in it. This like an example of knowing what the rules are and then breaking them on purpose to achieve the desired effect. 10 from me.

A Joyful Noise

A true testament to your ability to make something plain, something really special. I gave this a 9 and I am usually not a fan of rocks and water. Great work.

This would have been great if the birds head had been in good focus. Nice crop, and I can definitely see what you were going for here.

Pride of the ROTC

If the face were just a bit lighter this would be a great shot. Not being able to see the eyes is very distracting. Great focus. I might suggest cropping out the person on the left that is OOF. That would place the subject less centered and remove OOF distraction from the foreground.

This is appears a bit oversaturated and OOF. The idea has potential. The dramatic angle and color contrast works nicely.

Great detail. Perfect placement. No clutter. Great DOF. Can't find a thing wrong.

The Energy of Sunset

I am a sucker for a silhouette. The top of the mast leaving the frame is a little distracting, but it is an overall very nice shot. I wonder what a closer view of the people with the sun and only the two centermost boats in the shot might have looked like.

The softness is great, but needs more light on the face and the pose is a bit over the top (see my breasts). Pretty girl and definite potential.

This probably has amazing stock opportunities. I could see many uses for this in the press. It is definitely an attention grabber.
