Splish, Splash, Spring by Jan Carr

I like the subject and the colors, but there appears to be some strange artifacts throughout the image, particularly on the boy's face. I see that the image is about 150 kb, so I'm not sure what the cause for this would be.

I read a few of the books in that series, nice & creative shot. You've captured the scene well.

Sin City... 'Big Fat Kill'
by Qart

Comment:
I haven't read the comics, but did see the movie and your photo captures the style of it pretty well. Some selective coloring might tie in even closer, but its not really necessary. I like the focus and composition as well.

Fools Die - Mario Puzo
by Pixelstate

Comment:
I like the subject and the shallow depth of field, but I think I'd prefer to see the point of focus moved about 1/2 inch back to put the dice and the jesters' faces more in focus. It's clear that the focal plane is placed where it is for a reason, I'm just not sure what that reason is... Other than that the exposure and composition are very nice.

"A River Runs Through It"

Comment:
This is a nice scene, my only suggestion would be to crop out the sky in this instance, due to the uncooperative weather. The white emptiness on the top distracts from the river and cliffs imho.

Against The Wind

Comment:
I like the image of the boat in rough seas, but I'd rather see the actual boat rather than a picture of one in the book. The composition is nice though.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Milan Kundera

Comment:
I like the subject and composition. The blue strikes me as a little 'dirty' in appearance - this might be a good candidate for a bit of overexposure.

Unordinary Lives
by BlownAway

Comment:
I like the use of interesting/provocative novels, but I think they could be shot in a better fashion (imho). Stronger focus (or selective focus, shooting the books at an angle to add depth), a bit more contrast and maybe some dodging and burning to emphasize the part of the scene that you feel is most important might be some improvements.

Papillon
by MichaelC

Comment:
I like the soft tones here - it makes a nice contrast to the 'sharpness' implied by the barbed wire. Compositionally a little weak but not bad - I like the centering of the butterfly but am not wild about the position of the wire.

Educated Flyer

Comment:
Maybe a little too obvious/literal...The red filtering shows some creativity, and the background textures are nice, but the book is a little out of focus, the composition is awkward (vertical book framed horizontally) and the subject itself could be a little more interesting (imho).
