This is an excellent image - I love everything about it. The color, composition, reflection through the glass. Wow - I hope to someday produce images at a portion of how terrific this one is! The only thing that bugs me is the little spot of lighting near the top, but I didn't notice it until after 3 times of going back to this image.

This is an exceptional photo - I love the texture and color of the background. I love the composition. Lighting, colors, DOF - all great! The only thing I'm bugged about is the wheat - but that's just a personal choice. I've pictured this in my mind without the wheat and it still looks great to me. Good choice with the framing - all around and excellent shot - I definately see a ribbon on this one! :-)

There are many things about this photo that set the mood tone - not just the lighting. The surroundings of your subject, his posture - he almost looks dejected, sad. The lighting really helps pull that feeling in. I do have 2 picks though - I wish the shadow weren't so prominant at the bottom of the image and it seems a little too sharp. Nice work creating an emotive feeling. :-)

I Wish I Had A Friend

This is a nice photo - if it were someone I knew, I'd probably frame it. I like the desaturation and leaving just his shirt color, it really makes him stand out as the subject and I'm not looking at his surroundings as much. I am having some trouble seeing how the lighting is creating the mood tone though - the expression and posture of the boy is what is really creating that for me. Nice work.

As I look at the photograph I smell my favorite candle scent, Cinnamon Vanilla. This says to me serenity and solitude, although her face may have a slightly troubled look about it - I imagine her ready to blow the candle out before going to sleep.

Nice use of lighting on your subject. I like the composition. I feel some energy from this shot as if a band member is going to pop out any second now and start singing.
