Down by the river

Very nice tones, but focus is soft and composition is not all that interesting.

Impressive and grand shot that has a wide open feel. I love the colors and perspective. I think adding a little more foreground would have been better. This is my interpretation of urban landscape. Nicely done.

Down Town Sunday Morning
by Gracious

Comment:
Technically well executed...Good exposure and focus and colors are very vivid. I guess it has a Sunday morning feel to it, as it seems deserted, but I don't find anything in the image very interesting to look at. I don't like the overhand and the picture just shows small pieces of buildings that leaves me feeling too confined

Image quality is poor and I think you could have cropped out the right side of the image up to the red brick. Effective use of perspective but it leads to nothing interesting.

The building

Comment:
Compositionally not too interesting of an image. Building is too centered and appears to be ready to topple over. Also, I find the forground structure cumbersome, cropped unusually and obscures my view.

The Old Town Clock

Comment:
I find this image to be a bit too cluttered and bottom heavy for a portrait format. Colors are vivid but lighting is too harsh as man walking towards camera is obscured by shadow.

Across the Great Miami

Comment:
Good focus and clarity but I don't like the blown out sky that has no detail and the image appears overly post-processed, possibly to compensate for dark lighting conditions? Contrast is too high. I like your inclusion of the flowers in the foreground...they add a nice touch and are not imposing or interfering with the rest of the image.

The Coast

Even though I don't believe this meets the challenge, and your focus is too soft in the foreground, I am a sucker for mist images and this one has a great sci-fi feel to it. Almost appears to be a distant planet's landscape. 6 Would have been higher had it met the challenge.

Portrait of a Schoolgirl

Comment:
Somber and sobering shot of a part of life most don't like to acknowledge. Don't know why this young woman with her life ahead of her is so distraught, but it tugs at my heart to see. Are you making a statement about the different abuses that has taken place within the church or its schools? This picture almost appears as a mug shot, implying she is a prisoner of her fate. Well done.

I like your angle of view against the stark sky, but wish there were more contrast between your subject and the background.
