Like the abstraction about the paper clip. Not sure I would have gone with a white clip though. Perhaps a another color? It is so stark that if keeps me from the great lines around it. I wish it blended in more.

Mother and Child

Awesome colors and composition. The child is so pure looking and the adult looks like she does not know what may happen next but there appears to be a glint of hope in her eye under her look of apparent disappointment. Would like to see what you wrote about. Very well done.

I'm calling them clown fish whether they are or not. I really like this. The stark white, without apparent blow, agsint their gold and orange hues out lined in black make them very interesting to veiw . Sort of wish there was a wee bit more green in the background but the image is so well shot I'll just let that pass. Very well done.

Not sure if it is the sensuos visage of the model which appears or the great lighting or tones of this image, but it really is overall a very striking image and one that I have looked at each pass. Excellent.

Twilight zone

This is one of those images that screams to be shown in a larger format. The foreground is a bit murky and the detail appears to be lost in what ever processsing you did to make it lighter. While you did well in observing the rule of thirds horizontally, you might have considered losing some of the bottom third and shown more of that lovely hued sky against the mountain in the middle. I want to look at that more but my eye just keeps looking at the foreground and wondering what I might have done to make it better under the same circumstances if, indeed, I could.

you might consider not posting in a forum something that may go into a challenge. It's like I had a preview of yours and not others. That said....hmmmm....well the composition is interesting but the grunge thing I think you said your were going for doesn't work for me in this. Any portrait I think should have good details of the eyes. This comes off more abstract because of the lack of the definition in the eyes. But...it is different.

Just a Smile

It has always amazed me that people who are particuarly photogenic can do just about anything to themselves and still look good in an image. This is a great example of that. He's a great smile and looks quite friendly. Wouldn't mind seeing him without all the hubris just for a comparison. Nice job.

This is quite a stiking image. Excellent perspective and great find with the RGB Primary colors of the doors. I think it could be a bit brighter? The colors are rich enough but they just don't ....and I'm sorry to use this term but I'm tired and cannot thinkg of anything else at the moment....pop.
