I think you light could have been more dramatic to add some punch. But I do like it.

If you are photographing a person, especially a close up, the eyes really should be in focus instead of the hair.

This is way over retouched!!! Children have beautiful skin and should never require such heavy retouching. It should be sublte, it need to still look lke you subject (wrinkles and all if you are retouching older folk) You need to minimize not take every thing out. The facial expression is really nice and the light is just beautiful, but I am having a hard time getting past that retouching. Good luck.

Nice photo. I think your light could have been a lot better. You are lighting up at him so the shadow from his nove is almost going up into his eye. This kind of light can sometimes highlight undesirable facial characteristics like bags under the eye. You light should almost always be eye level with your subject of above eye leve. It will give you a nicer lighting pattern. Plus if you really learn how to use light to your advantage you can minimumize this that people don't like about themselves.

very pretty. I love the saturated colors of the water and sky, but I think you over saturated the rocks. They just don't look realy. However, the photo is so beautiful that i think if would be mean of me to vote down for such a silly thing that is only one one persons opinion. Good luck 8

Pastel Garden

I don't normally like pic that have heavy filters on them. This on seems to work with the subject matter and if feels very painterly. However, that red backpack jumps out at me and not in a good way. I think it would have been perfectly lovely without the subject.

Awsome picture! However, this is so not pastel!!! This is just the opposite. I hate to vote low since the quality of work is so high, but it just does not meet the challenge. Good work anyway.

Bricks & Satin

Comment:
great shot, but it looks way over retouched. The bricks and stairs look very odd. I would have liked it to look a little more real.

I love the photo but not the title. Good thing we don't score based on that.
