Interesting capture. I really enjoy the mood and feel to this piece. I think I will bump this up a bit more on this second view. I think my largest complaint about it will be that the vignette is way to dark. Less of course this was shot with a spotlight or something else that created the circle effect then I would say to have opened it up a bit more and not created it so dark.

What a cute fella. I think this is a nice piece, cropped well and the colours are nice. I enjoy the clarity of fur/feathers as well as the focal range. After looking this second time I will bump the score a bit. However it does lack a strong wow factor for me.

Fun image. I bet the rider and stuff are excited about it. The motion blur looks nice and the near focus of the rider/cart work well. Though for me, it just does not push it far enough to keep my attention. it is nice and well done but not enough for me.

First thing I notice is the noise/texture across the skin. It also moves into the wall behind her so I know it is not skin texture. The hair seems blurred as if in motion, and the lighting may have been facilitated in post hence the noise. For me this straight on view is not appealing and does not flatter the model. It is an ok portrait but does nothing for me.

The first thing I notice is the 'dreamy' effect. For me it really distracts from the image. The slight blur over everything reduces the clarity I crave. The colours are nice from the blues and greens however the large unappealing clouds seem to have been forgotten during post. Overall for me it is an ok image but does nothing for me.

Snow Day

Interesting perspective though it hardly looks like day. The orange cast over everything for me is a bit distracting. Specially when there is the coloured blue squares at the bottom. It is an interesting perspective though I feel it could be something more, specially if it was captured during the day.

Little quack'r in the pond. I find that the side foliage here seems to be sharper focus then the duck. Also the near center composition leaves me wanting something more. I would have liked a bit more separation as well as depth with the feller.

I like the concept but I feel it did not work. I think I find the most distracting is the narrow focal range as well as the camera angle of the image. I would like something a bit more dramatic with much more clarity. However that being said the red and blue work well to contrast and if there gave more blue on the ice I think it would have really popped more.

One of the better clean portraits in this challenge. Clarity colours lighting all work out nicely. I am sure the owners are thrilled with this in their hands. However for me, it really is just another portrait without much else to keep me interested. Yet, after really looking at a few others I will bump this up a bit because it does have nice technical skill.

Interesting makeup. Makes me want to see more from the shoot. However for me and this image it appears overly soft, it distracts my eye. It feels like something is missing, maybe a bit of contrast, or even more personality of expression. It is interesting but does not wow me.
