The wide angle makes the lake horizon tilted, which I'm not fond of, but I think if you straightened that, the piece sticking up in the back of the near boat would also be tilted, which I wouldn't like, either. > Ken Frazier - Harriet A nice portrait. Her expression makes this a bit more, though. Intense, with a bit of trepidation? That white tablecloth on the left is rather distracting, though, and she could be just a bit more to the left. Possibly a crop of the entire left table would help. > Mario Filipe Pires - White clouds over red lady Well, the title tells me the lady is red, though I don't see much of it. You've cooked the color pretty hard, and added vignetting and a glass plate border. The picture has a southwestern feel to it for me. But everything's centered, and there isn't much to look at. It's certainly one heck of a colorful sky, though. > Emily L. Ferguson - Naiad navigating the channel I like the scene, but you could use some of the previous picture's cooking (certainly not as much though). A brighter picture, with more contrast in the sky, would make this more dramatic, instead of just a nice picture of a boat. > Lea Murphy - Rachel kicks Lots of energy, sharp where it should be, not sharp where it shouldn't be. Some movement in the ball, concentration on her face, a nice pose with her arms, and she's coming into the frame. The background isn't much to look at, but it is a soccer pitch, after all. Nice job. > Trevor Cunningham - waiting for a cause Hah! Well seen. I think a pink peapod would have been hard to come by, but the infrared comes pretty close. In black and white, it looks like it could have been pink. Nicely lit. It's a bit off center and a little high in the frame, but I haven't fully convinced myself that that's a problem. The position certainly makes it look alone in the dark. > John Palcewski - Horseman, pass by! I don't understand the title, unless it refers to a general asking the troops to parade for inspection, but that's ok. The fill flash works pretty well here, though I wish I could see a bit more of the rider's face. Maybe you could dodge it a little. A good dramatic angle; the horse's neck looks almost impossibly long. Andrew -- http://andrewsharpe.com
