Love the lightness-of-being feeling and the contrast with the heavy columns. Congratulations on your ribbon.

The Shared Umbrella

Comment:
Stunning capture and very interesting and unique image. I really like how the umbrella fits in nicely with the background gazebo and tent. I also like the contrast between the solid toned subjects and the nearly pointillistic background and foreground from the downpour. Congratulations on your ribbon. Well deserved.

Fantastic image! Really love the color contrasts of the sky and the image is so well balanced too. Congrats on your ribbon.

Contemplation

Beautiful portrait and the colors are superb. I also like how her face is the brightest. I do however think that placement of the hands could be better as her left hand blocks a good part of her lips and seems a bit awkward, and the right shows the back of her hand. Still, an exceptional image. Congratulations on your first ribbon!

Shadow Romance

Composition is impeccable and I like how her headdress fills the right side of the frame. However, the image lacks punch. I think you could have brightened her eyes, espcially her right eye, her earring, and the sequence. This may have also required brigher, and more broad lighting.

Time for Father and Son

Hightlights on the water are too distracting and can usually be eliminated by using a polarizer filter. Contrast is too high in this image.

Untitled

A moody, metaphoric image that I believe works quite well for what it's trying to convey, although I think you're going to get hammered in the voting cause it's not a bright and cheery pretty picture. I do think though that the composition is a bit too static and contrast could be punched up just a bit, especially the whites but without losing anymore detail in the shadows. The rock just jutting into the picture on the right is distracting and should be cloned out, imo. I'm going to help out your score a tad.

Windows to her Soul

Cliched and inappropriate title. Does a girl this young warrant such an intimate closeup, even if she does resemble a famous child performer from recent past?
