I find the reflection and perspective extremely effective, creating the illusion of a much higher bridge when half of it is, well, reflection :) Very effective black and white and choice of angle.

Quite cryptic image, and suggestive. I see a man figure in it, some arctic explorer (or possibly I am just tired).

I Bleed To Know That I Am Alive
by MinsoPhoto

Comment:
Very suggestive. If there is one thing, a slightly longer focal lens might have compressed things a bit, this way the finger looks a bit distant from the face, as it belonged to someone else. But maybe that was the intention. I wonder how it would look if you were looking at the viewer. I really like your vision in this and other of your photographs.

Moondance

Is it just me or there are a ghostly face and the figure of a ghostly little girl lingering in the water? Very well captured and certainly a good use of the ratio.

Nice high key.

Details Matter

Lovely texture, choice of angle, exposure and of course time of the day. While it does not suggest me any particular feeling, I find it a very strong image, visually.

Irrational Relationship
by gyaban

Comment:
Very well done. I am a bit unsure about the perhaps weak fill light and the background, as the head and hair might benefit from more separation fro the background. Maybe a second flash putting an highlight on the background could have helped (and a third one on the background behind the right foot to create a triangular motive mimicking the figure.. just, given I can barely switch a strobe on, probably I am just being delirious). Well done but, honestly, I find that turning this one in portrait orientation turns it from good to smashing excellent and so much more dynamic, with the body pulling away from light. Also, the lack of fill light from below, in vertical framing turns into a massive asset as the flower is anyway well lit.

Aging Gracefully

Comment:
Very graceful indeed and the choice of background highlights/vignetting complement the subject very pleasantly. I suppose a framing such that the dark area in the background would mimic the golden spiral curve would have fitted the challenge even more (and in a very litteral, perhaps boring way, so probably a bad idea). Very pleasant bokeh. 8 from me.

Morning Call

Excellent silhouette. The beak is just perfect and the background creates a very effective vignette around the subject. Is this a real bird? In any case, a very nice, evocative image.
