Green with Purple

I really like this - the light is lovely and the simplicity of the purple against the green works for me. While not a 'classic' still life arrangement, I think it fits the challenge sufficiently to deserve a good place. Good luck.

What a sad story this snap shows. I do hope the dolphin was returned to the water promptly.

Its Skies

Terrific shot, good composition - just love those clouds. But.

I try quite hard to find an angle in a shot that would make me understand how that photographer felt their image would fit a challenge. Sadly, I find I cannot grasp here how you thought this fitted a portrait challenge and you score will be affected by this. Such a shame, because in the right contest this shot deserves to do extremely well.

I really try to avoid DNMC comments; I believe I try quite hard to find an angle in a shot that would make me understand how that photographer felt their image would fit a challenge.

However I don't see a portrait here at all, so your score is going to suffer because of that. Overall this isn't a bad image - the composition shows creativity. Would be improved with a straight horizon though.

But this isn't a portrait in any sense of the word, so I'm sorry to say your score is going to reflect that.

This is a terrific portrait shot. Had it included more to indicate the 'life on the street' bit, then I think it would have deserved a 10 for sure.
