It's an interesting example of portraiture and, in my opinion, shows a well developed style. I'm not convinced by the skin tones but I've never been a fan of make up in portraiture, anyway. The trimming is just right, I think, with the guitar adding a nice contrast to the face and the hand well placed. All in all, this picture works well for me, even with the make up.
:-)))

It's an interesting idea. I take it the original is a lot sharper than the scan which looks a little soft in the crtucial area where the moisture is beaded on the skin. I think the mixture of textures is nicely handled as well. -
I'm sure you have your own feelings about what's wrong with this but it seems to me that the big killer is the pillar intruding into the core of the image and fighting it out with the structure behind. Also, there's a general feeling of unsharpness which may be a scanner problem, I don't know.
-
I'm afraid I don't think this one has really got a lot going for it. I think it might have worked better if the reflection had been stronger to balance the light grey paving. Using the shoe as a point of interest has backfired on you in this case because it competes too much with the reflection. I might have been tempted to hoik the shoe out of the way, myself. -
I think the trouble with sunsets in general is that they work much better horizontally than vertically. There's just too much black foreground here for my taste. Perhaps if you cropped off most of the shore line to give a squarish image you would make this more interesting. In your favour, you have captured some of the 'rays' which is nice.

I think I can see where you're going with this one but I have to say I don't think it's worked. I feel the pier needs to be a much heavier part of the composition to point up the mistyness behind it. I would have the pier extending much further up towards the top of the picture if possible and also make it relatively wider by getting in closer. -
Nice baby photo which you'll be happy you took in fifteen years time - it'll remind you why you're NOT going to strangle him! Good depth of field control. -
It's a nice idea and the foreground is very well composed and captured but the background rather spoils it for me. That drainpipe either needs to in sharp focus or not there at all in my opinion. I think that if it had been me I would have shot from a higher angle to hide the background.
-
I think you have all the elements placed very nicely and it could be an appealing shot but on my monitor it appears both grey, with no real black or white anywhere, and a little fuzzy. All the same, worth perservering with. -
It's a very lonely tree, indeed, isn't it? :-) I'm in two minds about this shot. As it stands, I think it's just too bare BUT I can also see that blown up really big it would make a very nice poster. One of those shots, I think, where presentation is everything. -
I think this is potentialy very nice image spoiled by the bridge in the background which is just that bit too intrusive for my taste. Perhaps a wider aperture would have thrown it far enough out to stop it detracting from an otherwise good shot. -
I think this is a fairly pleasant picture with a nice composition but I don't like those yellow lines at all. -
It's technically OK and the big masses coming in diagonally from the sides are nice but the lion is too small to make a central point of interest in my opinion. I also don't like the man who seems to intrude rather than contribute to the image.
-
It's certainly a little different. I like it more than the average sunset,
-
It looks rather like a snapshot from the sixties. Taking shots like this in strong sunlight is always a problem.
-
I think you've captured the smile nicely but I don't like that mass of wood to the right, it's just too intrusive in this sort of picture for my taste.
-
I think you've got this one just right. All the masses are nicely balanced and I like the impression that the mountains are disappearing into the clouds. The border helps quite a lot as well. -
I think it's a very nice excercise in capturing mass and scale. The man is well positioned but the light stands at the right are a bit eye catching. Perhaps a fine black border would help to re-inforce the shape of this image. -
It's interesting that it's a self portrait but it's a not an especially interesting image otherwise. -
I feel that this is just too busy, with the edge of the pool and the bench competing with the figure for attention. I might have liked it better if you had cropped in much more tightly on the main subject. -
I don't think it does much for me. The window does act as a nice frame for the chap but the rest of the image is rather cluttered. I especially don't like the waste bin.

I think you need more depth of field here. The sharpest part is the leaf with rain drops on the right. This is one case where, in my opinion, lots of depth of field would have paid off. On the other hand, I think you've placed the flowers nicely. -
In my opinion, it's a very pleasant postcard style image. You've got everything placed just right.

Treasure this, old timers know I'm seldom effusive around here :-)))
This really is the best fisheye shot I've seen in forty years. You've got the layout right. The night sky is a great way of pointing up the shapes of the buildings. The colour works very well indeed.
This is exactly the sort of work I'd expect to see in a high end publication.
