Excellent leading lines and very interesting composition (even the holy pants!). B&W was clearly the way to go here. Very nicely done. Bumping to 8.

Back to comment. I love this shot...a little different kind of leading lines and the perspective you chose along w/ the womans expression makes this a very interesting shot to look at. My only nit is that I think the crop is just the tiniest bit tight at the top and bottom. Maybe a quarter inch more - maybe even less - each way would have been good (assuming it was clean grass & blackness). Nice job. Bumping to 8.

Very nice idea. I think it could be stronger if you switched the focus to the little girl making my eye comfortably lead to her. 6

With These Hands

Comment:
This is a great idea, great pair of interesting hands, and the hand position you chose is very good. I think saturating the seeds resulted in lovely colored seeds but unfortunately it also resulted in a couple of unattractive artifacts such as an oddly colored shirt and skin. Advanced editing rules would have served you well here eh?

Great colors and composition. The shape and color of the stem adds a great deal here IMO. Perfect crop and great border. Well done - it's even on a newspaper - just like I do it at home! :) Back to bump to 8.

Amazed At A Maple Seed

How precious! Beautifully done - B&W with the contrasting seed works well here IMO. Great sharp focus on the wonder filled eyes. Back to bump to 8.

I came back to this one. The perfectly sharp focus and detail on the seed in front makes me think I can reach in and eat it. Excellent work. Way to make a less than exciting subject really catch the eye. Bumping to 8.
