I think this one is my fav of the bunch. Excellent composition. I love the Candid feel of it. And I must say the Black and White conversions of this entire series are breath taking. Very, very nicely done!

Wonderful. I love the DOF and the umbrella is just great!

Natural Sunset

I really like this image, but I don't consider this a portrait. One could argue that it is a portrait of nature, but I feel that is not what the Challenge intended. I think this would probably do rather well in the Free Study, but here I don't think it fits. I'm scoring it low for that reason only, but it is a lovely sunset shot. :-)

Hmm, this looks like a librodo shot too. That's two in this challenge that I think favors his style. Good Job!

I really like the focus and DOF here, but feel the image needs to be brighter.
