I really like the idea, is more creative than most submissions that I've seen. I also think you've done a great job with the lighting, it really brings out well the colors of the drink in the glass and successfully suggest some kind of late-night bar scene. The composition is also very good and well balanced. Two problems: 1) pic could be sharper, 2) the glass is tilting a bit to the left. Otherwise, very good job.

The big leap.

Nice idea, fits the theme well. The pic is good but a little soft and the duckling's back is overexposed. There are also some elements that distract but then you probably didn't have much time to take the picture. Well done.

Nice pic. Good use of colours, using only three (gray, orange and green plus the skintones), really simplifies the picture and makes the subject pop-out. I think it was a mistake the crop out her feet, though. Also, this doesn't work for me as a picture of 'independence', but it is an excellent picture of a child.

Very nice photo: perfect colors, contrast and exposure. Faming of the model is great, using the out of focus sea as a background. This pic definitely evokes a mood, just not sure it's 'Independence'. But well done.


Like the fact that the model is facing away

The red sky

This photo needs something to 'grab' me. I also don't think making the sky red is helpful. The lower right corner also has distracting elements.

Very good photo, I personally like photos that use one color predominantly, blue in your case. Perhaps I'd have like to see in framed horizontally rather than vertically. It's also may just a bit too dark.

Good idea for a pic, but two problems: 1) Photo is too soft, 2) The plane has a 'halo' around it (post-processing artefact?)
