I like the warm tones of this. The lighting on the statue/mummy is wonderful with no glare and just enough shadow to make it interesting. I also like the shadowed background. The matching border also works. The detail is also very good.

This is very pretty and certainly an interesting alternative to the usual sunset pictures. I like the gradient of the sky from dark to light to the oranges. It's a very clean and sharp image.

Rising Above the Turbulence

Comment:
I like the fact that you included one of the birds on the rocks. Capturing the motion is good, the image is sharp, exposure is good. The only negative would be a suggestion of cropping out what seems to be a wing on the left hand side. It certainly captures the grace of flight.

A very delicate abstract image. I like the diagonal line of the blade, as well as the patterns in the background. The use of dof here is, of course, exceptional and very effective in capturing the fragile mood of the image.

Momentum: Grace of Dance

Comment:
An interesting photograph. I can certainly see the link to grace. I like the strong blue background, and the warm tone on their skin on the left is also good, but I feel that for such a graceful motion that the shadows in the middle are a little too harsh. I would have perhaps liked to have seen more detail on the hands on the right, as well as the face on the foreground girl.

I'm really starting to like these simplistic images. It's a classic with nice toning and sharp detail. The dof on the stem and far leaf is effective. Compositionally it's also great. A very nice clean image.

Hand Shake

Comment:
It's an interesting concept, although personally it doesnt really do much for me. There is a slight red tinge to the hand but it seems well exposed.

It's very pink and vibrant, and the matching pink border is cute. The coloring is good, and the lighting/exposure is good, although there are a few shadows cast. A very pretty photograph.

Three Little Jugs

I really like this! The jugs are very sharp, the texture shows up nice. I like the gradient of the background and the way it fades to dark on the left. The lighting is very well done, and of course the shadows are present. This is a very classic still life shot, excellent quality, and very clean. One of my favorites of the challenge so far.

Quite a classic image but an effective one. I like the simiplicity of this, as well as the duality of black and white. The details are very nicely sharp, and the highlights do not seem overblown at all.
