Lotus Mood

Locely portrait - great lighting and eye contact and nice use of negative space - I like how the gritty texture of the wall behind adds to the feel of the photo - it gives it a solidity.

Band: Ask The Slave

Comment:
This is one of those occasions where I think the eye contact "rule" would definitely improve the image - I think it would be more striking if all members of the band were looking directly at the photographer. Still works reasonably well though.

What a fantastic use of strong light and shadow combined with high contrast processing. Excellent composition aided by unusual viewpoint and strong architectural lines. Love it!

Great subject matter - high contrast treatment fits it perfectly. Solid black background also just right. Not sure about patterned pillow case but everything else works well - eye contact is great!

Woman In Boudoir

Beautiful lighting really makes the most of the form and texture here. Personally I'd crop the right side out further, pretty much on the vertical line of the corner behind - I find the tree slightly too centred within the square frame. Lovely shot.

I like the anonymity of the motion blur on the person against the crispness of the background.

Horse’s shoes

Comment:
Some great textures here nicely caught in the light with the rest of the scene fading into the blackness - that works well. I find this strengthened (for me) by a tighter crop, particularly at top and left but also at bottom.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice tilt - works so well - I don't often like rotated horizontals! Makes such a strong composition along with the repeated crossed legs and the colours are great too. Love the anonymity. Great textures. All good!

"Aglet" Rings

Nice texture detail and nice full use of the frame - I think I'd like it better if shallower DOF threw the back shoe further out of focus.

My boots
by mariaksteinsson

Comment:
Oooh, intriguing choice to crop the head and make it anonymous and hence more enigmatic too. Greeaat boots - do you know the song "boots, boots, kinky boots" - one of those songs that came out in my childhood - maybe it was a cover of an earlier one - not sure - that I used to chant - this is a nicely lit and nicely composed image with some great texture contrasts in the skin, leather and concrete.
