I like the originality of the foreground! And the expression works well with it! The face does seem a bit lost lighting wise? Maybe a side lighting might have increased the contrast? well done

I really like the expression and the cropping of the photo. Nice out of focus background and interesting foreground with the apple. It seems to tell a bit of a story perhaps? IMHO, the frame is a bit too wide. it distracts from the photo itself and I find myself lost in the white... But great capture of an expression! Well done

What amazing lighting you captured (or created?) The focus on the eyes is perfect and the skin tone very natural. I'm not sure if I like the coat details but that's MHO... Great job

What a beautifully composed photo. I love the muted light and how it seems to fall mostly on her. Her bright clothes contrast so well with the 'sad' background as does her expression. Perhaps just cropping a bit more on the right side to make her feel even more offsided? Very well done!

Almost there!

Very creative photo idea! Love the crop, the neutral background and the focus on the eyes! The photo seems a bit over sharpened? Perhaps just sharpening the eyes might have worked better? Very well done. I hope it scores high!

The photo is nicely exposed and I do like the crop. It does fit the title very well as does its expression :) But IMHO, the eyes (the focal point of the photo) are a bit too much in the far corner and not enough in the rule of third cross section... Well done: This is an original dog photo!!

Looks like a postcard! I really like the color layers, especially since they are all summer ones (yellow, green, blue). I like the contrasts, the clouds, and the perspective. If I had to think of something to change IMHO, I might crop out the right side since it's a bit busy and doesn't ad too much to the beautiful scene. It might also make the left side boats appear to be leaving for an ocean trip as opposed to a harbor stint? Very nice photo!

What a great capture. I love the expression and the composition! They are both perfect! The eyes on the banana do take a bit away from the candid shot (IMHO, I would try cloning them out?) I would also see if desaturating or darkening the background colors (the oranges) might increase the focus on the adorable face! A picture to cherish!

Nightlight

Just a tad more cropping and a bit of straightening... I like the captured light beam and the composition. Maybe increasing the contrast to better see the stars with a darker sky? Knowing my bad tendencies, I would try to dodge and burn the sky just a tad to add highlight to the clouds and the beam of light. well done!

Nice capture and good composition. I wonder how it would look with a whiter sky to increase the contrast with the trees? Maybe a bit of dodge and burning to add some light on the headstones and darken the back bushes? But good idea for a photo and well executed!
