I think you did a nice job.

I think it needs a foreground subject, not strong enough to stand on it's own.

From this point of view the tree is in the way. Perhaps moving around to find a better angle for the shot may have helped.

You exercised restraint with an effect very well. Composition is great.

Perfection in portrait photography, excellent! 

Beautiful child, flash was a little too close. A levels (left slider) adjustment may correct it.

A disturbing image of an adult who has already crossed the line that should never be crossed.

Outstanding separation of foreground & background with the depth of field, good sharp focus & good composition.

Well done. Nice play of light & great depth of field.

Pretty neat. I think a vertical crop would be better than a horizontal image, eliminate the wide black.

Not an easy subject to creatively capture, well done.

The orange handbag did a great job of tieing them into the scene. Well done.

Might be better in black & white...

It sounds like a lot of time & work for mediocre results. Put your efforts towards better final results, better images.

Great photo. A tad of sharpeneing to bring it up to crisp would be an improvement.

Excellent combination of motion blur moving through a sharp focus. Powerful subject matter... outstanding!

As photogenic as Zebra are this is an awkward posture. A blurred natural background would have been more effective too.

Interesting. I agree a little deeper depth of field to pull the other eye into focus would have nailed it.

Nicely done, it's almost 3-D. A classic example of the basic rules of photography for the composition.
