Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good.

Personal: The angle of the shot, the placement of the shoe in the frame, and the shadow aren't pleasing to me personally.

Lean
by LucidLotus

Comment:
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge, but for me this one fits especially well. Exposure composition focus lighting all great. The hint of a horizon adds to the composition nicely.

Personal: I love the lean, I love the absence of colors, an all around great shot.

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all relatively good, though I feel the processing makes the background more present and makes it detract from the subject. Actually, the processing itself detracts from the subject as well.

Personal:I feel this would be much more compelling if at the very least the dog's eyes were unprocessed, but preferably if the whole thing were unprocessed.

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Exposure composition focus all okay, though the background is distracting. I feel the lighting is too harsh for a subject this cute, as evidenced by the strong shadow behind her!

Personal: This comes across to me as not much more than a snapshot. Definitely worth the effort to keep practicing though!

Tigger Up Close

Comment:
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge, but this one not as strongly as the others for me. Exposure composition focus lighting okay, but the reflections in the cat's eyes is distracting and the crop is too tight for my taste, particularly with the look on the cat's face.

Personal: This looks like a stressed cat, this doesn't say simplicity to me. It doesn't look like much more than a snapshot. It appears to be properly exposed, but by the same token it looks too bright to me. Definitely worth the time to keep practicing!

Personal: For me this comes across as not much more than a snapshot, it isn't compelling and it doesn't illustrate simplicity for me.
