OK well with the critical hat on...Two nice images but somehow they dont quite gel together. I find myself thinking I want to see more bridge which is a very strong image

PAD B&W Day 2 Untitled

OK for me if I am being completely honest the grain does not work, it makes a lovely portrait composition appear as if it has been taken on a very high zoom, the effect on the shirt is not that pleasing to the eye. It may be that you are caught between two stools here and you would have really needed to crank up the noise to clearly show that it was intentional (which I appreciate from your description it was)

Not a huge fan of graduated borders either

Please please understand this is probably being uber critical (as requested) the subject composition is great and you have got a lovely un-posed portrait feel to this

Bubble, triptych, black and white...These could have gone anywhere. Three different expressions which really work well together although the centre one is by far and away my favourite

Great image but I have the say the graduated border doesnt do it for me. Would have preferred either none or a really crisp black one

Lattice

OK DoF isues mentioned. Love the repetitive format with the different shading. Maybe would prefer a tighter crop to lose the very top

Excellent contrast

Nice pic although I am guessing that you shot it through the chicken wire which may have caused some strange foreground marks on the image (if not your lens needs a serious clean!!!)

Very nice close up, love the way the right leaf branches away right along a rule of third line, beautiful dof

Self Portrait In Bubble

Well if it is any consolation to you I think this pic scored very low in the challenge. There were some great images in the challenge and this was one of them....42nd??? No way!!! Should have been much higher

Love the minimalist nature of the picture and the focus on the dandelion seed is perfect. The background does detract a little and I would love to see this with a blurred background

Very nice image though
