I like the flare and way the water creates a contrast with the banks....

This looks like a pretty setting, but the glare from the sun is distracting imo. I also feel that it is too grainy.

Nice idea, not too fond of the black background (something I've been guilty of) good lighting, 6

The hands have a slight yellow cast. I like the photo, so if the yellow was intentional, dismiss the comment.

A bit more of a dramatic twist would have worked well on this. I would have moved the angle of the lightingt to get some shadows working for you.

the WB seems to be off, the skin tone appears very yellowish

Very emotional photo that would have more impact if it were abit sharper and a little less yellow.

congrats on a pretty good finish for your first entry! Its a good shot that meets the challenge well.. However, I am known for being critical so I don't want to disappoint you here by being too nice..

OK, the weakest point in this photo for me is the B&W conversion. Just desaturating or converting to grayscale generally will result in a pretty flat image that can drain any life out of the image. Your best best would be to learn how to use the channel mixer to make some of the tones deeper and richer.. its hard to explain but channel mixed B&Ws just have more depth and are tonally more pleasing.. if you need any advice on how to do that then feel free to drop me a line.

Anyway, well done and hope to see more from you in the future.

Mark.

PS, tell Gloda to pull his finger out and arrange the Canterbury GTG.
