Alone in the shadows

I can tell there is supposed to be something in this shot by the slight color I'm seeing toward the middle, but there is not enough there for me to be able to judge what it is. At least not on this monitor.

Wow. I love this picture. perfect in every way. How sad and lonely that little bear looks. Placing him away from the steps emphasizes it even more. The lighting is perfect. The B&W is perfect. The grainy effect is perfect. My favorite of the challenge and one of my favorites on the site. Period! Thank you for sharing such mood and artistry. 10

...in her field

This is a lovely shot. I like how the light filters through the shadows and the colors of the leaves behind your subject become the same auburn color as her hair (almost a halo affect) while the green leaves at the top of the page balance the color at the bottom. With such fair skin and the brightness of her blue jeans, she really her stands out against the backdrop. What I like most though is the expression on her face and what I'm assuming is a flower in her hand..."He loves me...he loves me not..." I hope "he" loves her. :-)

Looks more like a Time Out! LOL I like this a lot. You've got her in a great pose for this challenge and the fact that she's facing towards the tree instead of with her back to it gives her a more isolated feeling. Nice lighting and fall colors.

This is a neat shot. Try cropping it so the bird is off-center and see if that doesn't work even better...to add a little more interest. Also, I don't care for the border much but I never adjust my scores based on that.

You're title alone makes this a fun and charming shot.

Wall Flower

I understand what you were trying to go for here, the contrast of the dark, reddish wood to the brightness of the flower, but it's not a very appealing affect. Maybe if you made the wood black and white or sepia tones and left the flower blue it would help but as it is, the textures just overpower the flower for me.

Cold October days

This is a nice animal portrait, very nicely done. He is, in fact, alone, but the composition of the photo doesn't really evoke that feeling. Your title also indicates that this is a Cold October Day but there is nothing in there that, without the title, would make the viewer feel cold or even realize that it's October. I like the shot though and the comments I gave do not affect the score I'm giving you. Just an opinion....

Fits the challenge ok and is well composed, but not a very interesting or thought provoking shot to me.

I think this would have been better if your subjects head weren't hidden in behind the tree limbs. Although you may have done that intentionally, I don't think it works as effectively as it might have if he were better seen. I think the stark white lighting on some of the rocks draws the eyes there and away from your focal point.
