Good expression and angle of the head though the crop feels a bit too tight on the bottom.

Merry Christmas

This is a wonderful Christmas portrait but DNMC. Just my opinion though.

The objects are nicely arranged within the frame however the OOF flame which seems to be blown out is quite distracting. It is the brightest part of the image where the eye is generally drawn.

Interesting idea. The objects, candle, slinky and shadow, are nicely position within the frame. The colour is very calming though the flame appears to be blown out.

The choice of subject is interesting. Keys can provide for some nice textures and patters.

Using flash and the only source of light can produce some very harsh shadows as can be seen on all sets of keys here. The most distracting shadows appear on the left most ring. Softer lighting I think would improve the overal feel of the image as well as help bring out some of the textures in the front most keys.

The placement of the key rings works quite well but the composition could possibly be improved by raising the right most ring slightly and lowering the other two slightly in the frame.

A fairly pleasing image.With so many keys I'm sure there's several arrangements that could produce pleasing images.

Keep shooting.

Maurice

Maurice is very cute. You and the million others visiting the park must be feeding him.

If you're quick, there are a few chipmunks there as well.

Composition is dynamic due to the juxtaposition of the bottle and the bill however I feel there is a conflict between these two items. My eye is drawn to the bill since it is the brightest part of the image but am drawn to the bottle since it is the object that is in focus. This may have worked better with the bill in focus and the bottles just slightly out of focus.

Explosure seems right though with true white and black.

Keep shooting.

I think you were robbed on this one. At the very least it should have ended up mid to high 5s.

Keep shooting out of the box. (and this really wasn't that far out)

Though not in colour this image reminds me of the Group of Seven (Canadian painters). Well done.
