Me as a mother

Very beautiful photo. There is so much love radiating from your expression, and I think it captures an emotive example of motherhood. As for the technical aspects, I think that high-key works very well for this shot, and all the skin tones are really nice and soft. The composition is excellent, and everything is in nice sharp focus. The plain white background is great since it leaves all the viewer's focus on the primary subjects. Wonderful job!

I absolutely love the idea for this shot. The shallow DOF is great, though I think it is a little too shallow here since the very tip of the stamen is out of focus. The frame feels a little intrusive to me. If it were backed off to within 5 pixels of the side I think it would look better.

I like the idea for this shot a lot. The backlighting on this flower really brings out some great colors.

I think the backlighting really makes this shot unique. At first I couldn't quite make out the bee, but now I find it interesting. The shot feels overall a little busy to me. Maybe zooming in a little on the center of the shot would bring more focus and detail to the primary subjects.

I like the diffuse look to this shot (a diffusion filter?) and the lighting. The composition feels a little off balance to me though. I think the colors are ok and the focus looks fine too.

Good focus to bring out the details in the petals. The stalk on the left side is a little distracting to me since it competes with the primary subject for attention. The soft lighting works quite well for this subject.

BLASTOFF!

Pretty display of flowers, though the blown out highlights detract from the beauty for me. The composition is nice, and the background is ok. I wish the lighting wasn't so harsh because the dark shadows and bright highlights remove a good amount of interesting details from the subject.

Shedding Some Light on the Subject

I like the idea of a subject lit and leaving the background totally dark. The shadows here make the shot seem a little busy. The DOF also seems to be really shallow, so only some of the petals are in focus. I would actually prefer this type of shot to have deeper DOF so the whole flower is in focus since blurring the background makes no difference because it is black.

I think the concept for this shot is excellent, but so much detail is lost in the flowers and petals that it looses some impact for me. I think the sepia toning looks good here though.

I really like the lighting and composition of this shot. The colors look great against the black background. Focus looks good as well.
