I would have liked to see the entire leaf in focus and everything else blurred.

I'm sorry, I get how the title meets the challenge, but I don't get how the title matches the photo. It doesn't convey shortness of breath, or asphyxiated lungs, or lung damage, or anything that is associated with Emphysema. While it is a nice picture overall, I don't feel it really meets the challenge.

Great photo, but needs more contrast, IMO. Great whites, but no real darks.

while it's a good photo overall, it's kind of shoehorning it into the challenge.

Begins the night...

the photo is gorgeous, but I think the title would better serve the challenge if it was the "beginning of the end of day", since this is a "beginning of the end" challenge.

I like how you lined up the railing with the horizon, but there seems to be something missing from the photo. Maybe someone standing at the end of the pier to draw us in further.

Through the Rain

Comment:
The premise is really good, and the woman is gorgeous, but there's something offsetting about the photo. The "rain" looks like it's droplets sprayed on a sheet of plexiglass and positioned in front of the woman. The focus is on the droplets and not the woman, which draws the eye away. Additionally, there looks like there's some sort of haze or reflection in front of her on the top half of the photo.

All in all, good effort, but It could be better.

MO.

I want to add that I've always loved your work - I think you're an exceptional photographer, but this one just looked a bit forced.
