This is great - Although the car is probably standing still, it looks like the photo was shot from the window of a passing car - gives it a fleeting feeling as if the old car is driving back into the past. Because it is facing left and we have a right to left mindset, the illusion that it is going back in time is enhanced,,

Lonely White Flower

Sometimes an off center composition is more interesting. This one needs some punch somehwere - maybe saturating the yellow stamens? Maybe a closer crop? High contrast black and white? Despite the perfect focus and DOF, this one is lacking in composition.

Just perfect - I love the expressions and the bit of light on her face. Who is in the cage anyways?

Midnight sun in Iceland

Is the horizon straight? Sorry, pet peeve of mine. I have a theory that people are disturbed by the tilt, but can't identify it and knock off a point for "something not quite right". Otherwise, lovely scene, soft colors.

Nice focus, nice colors, icky snail. Composition could use improvement - the twigs are distracting, and the tenatcles are cut off.

Mid day sun makes for uninteresting lighting and oddly wasjed out colors. Imagine this same picture with a warmer late afternoon light. Perhaps some better shadows to give depth to the flower and some richer greens and yellows. Nice composition, wrong time of day.

I think I would crop all the foreground. tyr it? the striking shapes of the tree branches and the light through the leaves is completely surreal and painterly. The ground is too realistic and detracts. Without the foreground you have some terrific patterns going: Tree tunk is one, curly silouette branches is another. straight hanging doen brances frame the bottom and the sideways stanted leaves in the top right corner is the last. All play nicely torgether in an abstrqct texture.

Do we have a winner here??? Just perfect. Llove the desaturation, makes the day look hot and hazy, love the red striped shirt for focus and the erotic wet skirt and the toe ring. Love the action, the story, one girl helping the other. Love the watery background and the droplets in the foreground. Makes the viewer fell like both a participant and a voyeur. 10
