I like the semetrical abstraction (oxymoron huh). I think the slight glimps of light under the escalator was key. Good shot.

Good detail in the scan. Nice gradient torwards the bottom fall off. Gotta love the detail of some good old fashion film...lol.

Nice Photo, you even got a great sky to add. I hate seeing great birds and bad skys.

Good job.

I think the B & W is working fine. I would like to see some of the foreground opened up a bit to see a little more detail. I'd also like to see more of the buildings in the top left & right quadrants. The exposure within the market area works well with the signs and highlights.

I LOVE IT! I don't know if you took this at the zoo, in the wild, or if it was just a composite , but it's a great shot. You caught the bird at the right moment. You even got the little reflections within the eye, nice touch.

Good silhouette. Nice form and movement throughout the image. I like the abstraction of shapes, and how they wrap together.

This should have been shot with a tripod at a longer exposure. You would have gotten that nice long flowing white motion blur of the winding water. It looks like the entire photo is a bit blurry. This area might be worth re shooting if possible.

Good idea, it almost makes me feel like I'm a peeping tom. Just be careful of what's on the other side. Make sure that your subject is warranted. Somehow I'm a bit lost on the true subject of the image. I understand that this is what was on the other side of the tires, but did you get any other shots? Maybe with a person in it doing something?

I definitely agree with the comment above. Instead of using water though try a mixture of glycerin and water. The professionals use this because it won't evaporate or dry up. Also make sure the rings look real nice, just don't pile them up, really play with the look of them. Another idea, might be playing with the colors in PS, e.g. using B & W with a gradual fade back into color, or just using splashes of color throughout the image to add more image flow. I also agree that the image might look better with other accents like baby's breath. Yes, no matter what is done it will still be cliche, but it is what the customer likes.

Great photo! I love the movement within the image. The lighting takes exactly where it should. Good choice of exposure. Kudos!!

Hello Domen,

I really love the concept of the girl winning. I also like the look of a high contrast image with the sharpening feel. The only thing I feel that may not be working as well is the partial over blurring of the hair and glove. I think you might be trying to push the viewer into the boxer's face too much. Another thing is that, to me by blurring out the glove so much it makes it feel almost like a composted photograph. You might have been able to use a much smaller depth of field to get this same type of effect with a more natural feel. I actually don't mind the blurred effect on the woman's hair, but don't leave un blurred parts like in the bottom image to the right. I feel the transition between the blur and the norm needs to blend smoother with clean masks.
