Ascension

Interesting concept, fun perspective, though not pushed enough. There is just something missing here and that angular piece on the view left is a distraction for me. Moreso then the one on the right. Also I think I would have liked a bit more concept if the camera was moved a step or two to the viewer left. To bring in more of the vertical ascension aspect with the windows.

Nice fun snapshot of the Kiddo. The look of determination is nice, and the blurred stick offers action/motion which may hint that this was not too posed. The wall directly behind him is a distraction I would have liked to see it pushed back a few feet. Also whatever the white box is behind him catches my eye. For me there just does not seem to be strong enough sense of rockstar which I would have liked to see more of. Perhaps the center composition/framing is where a lot is lost.

The Forest of Hopeless

I would have said Hopelessness, it just flows better. But beside the point, I find this image extremely busy though there are blurred/ghosted areas that really cause my main distraction. If there would have been a way to have the light come from inside instead of outside I think it would have been a much stronger piece. However as it is, it is just too busy for me with no clear clarity of view.

Cute dog image. Though a snapshot for sure, and I am positive the owner is quite happy with it and that is what matters most.

This could be a really powerful view. Though the overly dark and flat image here does not come close. I would have liked something very strong with contrast. Something that is clear and solid. A piece that just screams at me.

In the garden of the silent singing sculptures

Interesting find. Though direct flash really does it no justice as does the straight on view. I would have liked a more creative perspective or camera angle to these trees. Also if possible off-camera lighting. Though I know that is not always an option.

Down on Dewey Ave.

Front perspective with distorted perception. I would have liked that adjusted so it was more square, specially with a straight on view. It is almost an interesting building it appears it might have some character hidden there but it does not give me enough brightness or colour. The depth of texture from the roof to the brick wall should be screaming at me and it does not.

I can appreciate the art in this image. Or the joke, whichever it may be. Though it does not offer me enough, does not push me enough to really give it a second look. I would hope for something more, something of a statement. Your title also offers me nothing to go on.

Nice cute portrait. Focal clarity is nice, contrasts are ok, could be pushed a bit brighter on the skin tones. Overall its a nice portrait just not enough for me for this challenge.

This type of processing is really not good in my opinion. The blurred 'dreamy' style for me just distracts and ignores the elements of the piece and does no justice to the depths and contrasts and character of the subjects.
