Did she know that she was going to appear topless on the internet?

Malevich?

Very,very nice. The isolated components, cropped, elemental, in deep shadow. The minimal, direct title all add up to a work that has a hidden sense of purpose. Its subtle mystery opens up a poetic space in the viewer

Thank you 

Woah! A bit too strong on the green for my taste. No offence but it makes me feel like I've eaten the wrong kind of mushrooms or something.

I like this, its like some strange forgotten alphabet.

Yes the ambient light circles are quite miraculous, particuarly since they seem to be hovering above such dispair. I would try to emphasize that effect in post, making the boy and area a litttle darker and the 'orbs' of light more prominent.

For me this shot lacks everything that JR004 had. Theres no mystery here, just a model and an applied effect . Theres nothing for the viewer to engage with.

A bit of a confection.

Theres someting fresh and authentic about this shot. You've caught an indefinable moment which also is quite intimate, there is a trace of unsureness or even aprehension in her face. Also the vanity mirror provides a kind of abstract narrative which is satisfyingly illusive.

Good.

The theartricality in this image is too 'am-dram' to really take me anywhere. The props are too obviously props, the woman is too obviously acting, the whole thing is just too set up and self conciously stagey. I suppose all that can be quite intresting if the image and narrative are right ( thinking for instance of Gregory Crewdson) but here it lacks ambition and aspires more to be an episode in a soap opera than someting that actually touches me.

I rather like this image, the shapes of the cows are visually pleasing and nicely composed. Also you have captured a particular kind of 'cowness' in them looking inquisitive with their raised ears. They also look kind of monumental looming over that edge.
The colours I have mixed feelings about, those beautiful browns standing out against the slightly moody sky definitely add to the image but if this shot were mine I would tweak the saturation down a little.
The grass is a little too zingy ( green is often the first tell tale with over saturation) and beautiful as those browns are they are reacting with the green and are a little too intense themselves. Its a difficult call but given that when the subject of the photograph is nature itself I think it doubly important to keep colours as natural as possible just to make a consistent and coherent image.
