Truely lovely image. In younger day's I enjoyed walks on bridge such as this. When the sun hit the water just right you could see minnows and tadpoles swimming about, and if you moved to fast they'd all get spooked by your shadow. Every kid should have a little bridge to look over. In fact I saw my first shooting star in the reflection of the sky off that little bridge.

The made the lighting work for you is amazing. Even the black and white doesn't make the scene sombe; it's far too cheerful. The path leads the eyes all the way to the end without a hitch. Great work! (10)

My, my. This is the second great photo in a row I have seen. And just stones. A single one gets a three from me, bunch a whole bunch of them gets a nine. Of course it's not just the amount of them. :)

The texture here is outstanding, but nothing else interests me. Good show. (5)

Intestesting and tasty looking. I can almost feel the crispness of them. This is a pleasing image to the eyes, but not particuarly striking for me. (6)

Ah, someone thought you a cheater. I must be rewarding to know that someone wasted their effort trying to get you disqualified. :) That said, I don't really enjoy flames or artistic depictions of them, and certainly not in b/w. (4)

Ah, good show. I like the shadows, the contrasts, the variety of shapes and the depth of field. Yes, this should do very well indeed. (9)

MTV generation..."Oh my god, I am soooo fat"

Well composed. I hopes you asked your model to pack on a few pounds. It is the sad story of many of you nation's youth. However, I think that was a trend that peaked in the nineties and is slowly beginning to reverse itself, at least in my neck of the woods. There are far more overweight citizens than underwieght, I'd wager. Beyonce, JLO, and the rest of the booty-generation helped us all realize there's nothing wrong with a bit of cargo in the back seat. (7)

Lovely, but a bit OOF. If would like to meet a flower such as this. I would say something to it, just for fun, to see if it would answer. You see I can't help myself; at times I feel the need to chastise the daffodils for their part in what happened in Alice in Wonderland. I rate this picture a (5).

What did you prop your camera on? I often use my backpack, or any smooth stone I might find lying around. The lowered perspective works for this. It's nice I can can just about make out a name...(Ernice Cathson 1823-1891?) Does this person have any importance to you. If only the sky was a bit more dramatic, and you'd chosen an angle that excluded more of the tree, this would be great. As is, it's good. (5)

Ah, a thinker. He must be considering the philosophical ramifications of artificial intelligence gaining human emotions. The funny toy next to him (or is that a dead cat) proves this. (7)
