Excellent portrayal of mood, and the exposure is handled nicely. Great B&W.

Excellent capture, great colour and sharpening, and a good title.

That's it, bitch!

The implication that he's about to hit his wife (at least as I interpreted it) leads me to disregard the technical aspects of this image. A complete lack of taste, in my opinion.

Hi from the Critique Club,

This is a well-planned shot, and it shows that sometimes Ken Rockwell is right. Good choice of focus, nice colours, and good composition. Although it seems like it's been done before here, it remains extremely original. You did a great job of eliminating the folded down pieces of paper in the middle; overall, an image that certainly deserved a top 10 finish!

Hi from the Critique Club,

This is a well composed shot, and you clearly understand the effectiveness of the aperture you selected. Great background choice, with a nice level of saturation in the grass. The only reason I can think of that this didn't score higher is that it's not necessarily as exciting (i.e. doesn't have the "wow" factor) of some of the other submissions.

Overall, well done!

It's getting better all the time

Some people tend to get bitter when someone else comes up with a great idea, and their only reactive solution is to get controversial.

You had an excellent idea, and it was perfectly done.

Great job.
