Put on a Happy Face . . . :-)

Looks almost like Atlas holding up the world more than a happy face.

Great, except for the camera in the picture.

The photo looks just a little bit too dark for my tastes. Some photos should be dark but I don't feel this one should be. Good subject though. I enjoy the strings myself. Best of luck

This looks like a coastal city. I'm not sure why. My first thought was maybe Rio. Nice rainbow! To bad the rest of the sky didn't cooperate. It looks pretty depressing aside from the rainbow.

noisy, looks like some compression issues. This just isn't a very clean nor crisp photo.

Comb & Hair
by Harz_Joerg

Comment:
This looks like a great picture to go on a box of hair tint. I like the way the color of the comb kind of blends in with her hair color. Nice hair and a good picture. I think this is also a good border for this shot. That might be part of the reason I think it would be a successful marketing photo. Good luck 7

Snow + Skis = Fun!

This framing seems almost how I 'd do it. I would've made the skiier a little further back, toward the right of the frame and left more room in front of her so she has a place to go. Exposure is just a little dark and there looks like there's a sunflare or something else weird on the window of the cabin behind the trees.7

Aurora, dark sky and snowy mountains go together

This is a really cool shot if you could get rid of all the noise. There is abundant noise in the sky and even some in the snow. who'da thunk it? Maybe go with the lower ISO and a reduced exposure and probably you'd have got a ribbon for this challenge. This is absolutely amazing as a subject, but only pretty good as a photo in my opinion. 8

Shore Birds & Beaches

Good shot of this bird. I'm not taking any points away for this, but I was thinking of this topic in a little more traditional terms. I would've changed the framing a little though and maybe moved back just a little bit.

Composition is just too straight on. There are a lot of different combinations of ball-bat positions and relative positions that could've been used to add some interest to this photo. Its definitely more original than mine, which works to your advantage. I think there's a good way to get this arranged to add interest, maintain balance and properly represent the subjects you've put forth.
