Hello from ﾃメlex, CTP MkII

First Impression: WOW, stunning shot.
Composition: impressive, the framing is quite original and centers the focus on your mouth.
Subject: perfect for the challenge
Technical: great: lighting, textures, colors, focus. Everything.
Improvement: not sure about anything could improve it. Just a suggestion, have you tried it in B&W?
Summary: Congrats on your new PB and top 20. I can feel how you're growing as a photographer week by week.

First Impression: wonderful enviromental portrait...LOL. Very well done.
Composition: good, using thirds
Subject: meets the challenge very well. The expressions are great.
Technical: I like the tonality here. Not sure about if the color version is better or not, I like the duotone. The focus is very depth. The lighting is superb.
Improvement: About the focus, I couldn't help reading karmabreeze comment, and I agree about the DOF; maybe the selective focus would have bumped this photo over 6.5+
Summary: Very good job.

First Impression: Ahhh... superb title for the concept. Relaxing shot (not for the photog...LOL). I can barely imagine the way your bath was after some tries of self portrait like this.
Composition: like it, the crop, your head, the bubbles,...
Subject: very accurate for the challenge
Technical: a bit dark overall, colors need to bump a little bit more IMO. And focus is not very sharp in the bubbles.
Improvement: maybe a smaller aperture would have helped to improve the sharpness.
Summary: Nice idea and work.

First Impression: Good idea to ask the kids play with the shadows, and very funny
Composition: I agree with you, it's better with the kids on it.
Subject: Very good
Technical: the colors are not as bright as I would like to (maybe the light was too harsh). And seem you had a problem with the jpeg conversion, because I see some artifacts (on the face of her, i.e.)
Improvement: jpeg conversion, light.
Summary: Good shot, very consistent scores this week...

Hello from ﾃメlex, CTP MkII

First Impression: WOW, this is really green... nice shot.
Composition: OK, but not sure about the path so centered.
Subject: very good for the challenge, I have not so green places near my home
Technical: impressive colors, good focus.
Improvement: maybe a lower POV and a wider angle shot would have improved it.
Summary: Good job and good score.

Hello from ﾃメlex, CTP MkII

First Impression: very good shot. What a week for you, two 6+ shots in a few days...
Composition: really dynamic, with the candle on the side and the nice effect of the shadows
Subject: perfect for the challenge, you selected a great subject, quite interesting
Technical: very good technichs here, good focus, wonderful light, nice tonality
Improvement: sorry for been a bit finicky, but there is a flare effect caused by the candle (I think that's flare, I mean like a ray from the light to the left of the shot.
Summary: astounding work this week, keep improving

Hello from ﾃメlex, CTP MkII

First Impression: sorry for the score, your worst between your best and your third best, a bit surprising
Composition: Not sure about the angle of the shot
Subject: correct, but, as yanko says, you surely knew you were on risk. IMO meets the challenge.
Technical: it seems not very sharp to me, even a bit blurred... The colors need more punch
Improvement: IMO many room to improve here (pun not intented...): colors, angle of shot, focus
Summary: don't worry for this score, you're achieving very good scores.
