Emily L. Ferguson, The Elizabeth Islands on a still day. This is Zen-like in its austere simplicity. It also has a sense of depth and great distance, all of which combine to make an outstanding image. D.L. Shipman, D. If this were my image I'd dodge the face, and gently tweak the contrast. Also I'd put additional space on the left, inasmuch as the face appears crowded too much. There's lots of power and energy in that stare of his. Quite dramatic. Lea Murphy, Edyn. This is a truly moving image because it perfectly captures a small child's vulnerability, and beyond the vulnerability there is, at least to my eye and imagination, a sort of premonition on her part that her life ahead may have some rough patches. Sad and poignant to contemplate. Rene M Hales, Looking Out/Looking In What works against this is that it's too obviously set up, not spontaneous, and the model's body language is somewhat uncomfortable, forced. I'd be inclined to burn in the mirror image to make it more consistent with the foreground. Yoram Gelman, Street Seller. This face doesn't have quite as much energy and interest as Shipman's "D." Can't explain why, except to say that maybe it ought to be cropped in closer so as to make the wrinkles more clearly defined. Chris Strevens, she sleeps. Well, sir, I have to say that I've always admired you as an authentic British eccentric, but in this presentation you reveal yourself as a lyrical poet, both in the image and in the caption. Here is a surrealistic mingling of pathos and absurdity, which if you get right down to it is exactly what life too often is about. "Death is what happens only to OTHERS" is the worst lie we ever tell ourselves. Rand Flory, Classic Machu Picchu. This is too familiar to be at all interesting, and what's more it's overexposed. Bob McCulloch, Rehoboth Beach Scene. Lots of stuff going on just beyond the fence, whilst the photographer lurks, hidden, in the sea grass. They're all far enough away so that they will never hear the click of the shutter. Trevor Cunningham, dick dale. This guy probably sounds better than he looks.
