Picnic

nice colors and scenery (California, I assume?). It has a pastoral quality, but also with some urbanesque grit. The diagonal line of the coast is a powerful compositional feature, and the seagull is a nice choice. I would have asked him to fly slightly to the left ;)

I'm not a big fan of the soft focus in this one; I haven't figured out why sometimes it works for me and sometimes not.

nice picture, and beautifully lit for outdoors. Was there artificial lighting on this one?

This is a nice picture, of a pretty model... skin looks good to me, and the blakc shirt/background makes her stand out nicely. Her features seem maybe a little flat; perhaps a slight turn of the head or some cross lighting would help?

seriously underrated (not that a 6.1 is anything to sneeze at). This is a great pic. The amount of bokeh is perfect - emphasizes the main subject while still allowing the background to serve contextually. The duotone works well for it; gives an old-timey feel that I like. Nice work.

Geometric Pattern (2)

Comment:
The angular pattern is so strong it makes the frame look non-rectangular... very nice.

Ooh, nice crisp abstract. I like it. The few drops on the water in contrast to the angular curbs really make it.

Great portrait - almost a defiant expression, which is what you should see at that age! I always try to come up with a constructive criticism, but can't think of one - that's a good thing, I guess!

I'm amazed this didn't do better; much better, in fact. Don't sweat it - it's a tremendous pic.
