This speaks so well to poverty and/or desperation.  Excellent use of subdued colour as opposed to just balck and white.  The hint of red in the eyes is especially dramatic as are the clinched hands.  Very nice detail with there being no distractions from the face and hands.

I'm not sure what it is but that expression is priceless!

This appears to be a nice seamless stitch.  I would like to see it posted a little larger.  This would make a fantastic post card.

Intriguing play of light.  Excellent detail in the waves.

A touching capture - definitely an  awwww moment. 

The blacked out background works well here.  The santa red toned down also works.  there's a tenderness in the male hand that is transmitted to the viewer.    A "cute" capture with impact.  Well done.

The ghosts are about in this wonderfully haunted wood.  Excellent mood,

Excellent separation  - this really steps out from the background.  Very nice colour and detail

The black frame and dark coloured background are perfect for these beautiful pinks.  Off center works beautifully.  Nice detail and  excellent pose.

The cemetary in Grecia, Costa Rica. All critiques and suggestions

welcomed.

This is so well composed.  The eye goes immediately from what we can see of the bike to the open winding road and the message is instantly clear.  A closer look gives up some intriguing details; a bit of the road already travelled reflected in the back of the head lamp, for example.   This has an excellent vintage "feel" and yet a jet's vapour trail is seen in the sky, an interesting contrast. 

On my monitor, the black and white is sharp with excellent tones.

Yes, a little under exposed but I love the expression!

Tis the season...the leaves are falling fast here almost before they have a chance to change.  A beautifully secluded little hide-away.  Excellent composition.

Canada eh?`  Gotta love those frosting mornings.  A super capture

This is so touching - tugs at your heart for sure.  There is so much body language in her little foot which seems to be where your focus is.  Interesting choice.  It works.  The spoon doesn't bother me. It appears to be plastic as is the glass.  Salvaged from the garbage like the beat up card board box.  A super documentary capture.

I don't like one word comments but "Powerful"  says it for me.  The eyes are absolutely despairing.

Does this cat have an agent...lol.  He could make a living as a model.  Love the eyes in this one.  The direct contact and the "what are you looking at" expression makes this for me.  Excellent light and colour.

You have to wonder when he saw a dentist last!  A super capture; very nice separation from the background - an almost 3-d effect

Love the cat's attitude - so very typical.  Dogs have masters; cats have servants.  Super composition. 

a moment frozen in time - excellent candid.

An excellent slice-of-life candid portrait.  Strong and intriguing.

A unique and beautifully presented still life.  The diagonal works very well.

Only a border collie can maintain that kind of eye contact.  Captured beautifully.

A very sharp image; excellent tones.
