This photo is great. There is so much emotion in it, even though half of the face is not shown, or maybe that is why I like it. The framing, crop, and lighting are awesome. 9

Great idea, but there seems to be so little of the photo in focus. I like DOF but this is to much IMO.

Hard to tell what is going on in this photo. The 2 lights that are visible on either side are also a little distracting.

Seems like an awkward unnatural position for the model.

The lighting seems a bit too bright, but at the same time the colours are muted.

The pose of the model works nicely with this image. Great perspective and colour. 7

Rich, vibrant colour. I am not a fan of such a large border, especially on the top and bottom of the image. The image is very eye grabbing though.

This is such an emotional image. I love the framing with the silhouettes on the side. THe stormy sky brings out so much mystery. Very nice.

This made me smile. Should finish in the top 10. I love the colour and the actions of the subjects. IMO it would be a little better if we could see a bit more to the right (and a little less to the left) to include the whole flag plus some sky. And maybe not as much of the bottom blackness. Still amazing though. Great work.

The colour makes this image stand out, as well as the way you chose to frame it. Amazing. Should take a ribbon.
