Porche 911

A very suitable subject and the placement of the car in frame is pleasing, but there are a few problems - the obvious scrapes on the front corner, and the very busy and intrusive background, spoil the impact of the image.

It's not a brilliant photo, but it gave me a giggle. Well done for choosing models with expressive faces! However the photo does seem a bit too soft - particularly on the male's face and the female's hand, which are key parts of the image. The blown-out highlights on the back of the couch detract from the image too, a dark throw rug or something would have helped counteract this.

Diamond Derriere
by rjkstesch

Comment:
Good composition and interesting choice of subject :) The only criticism I can think of is that the diamonds are a bit soft and dull (a bit more light could make them dazzle a bit more), and the clothing elastic mark (or is it a scratch?) on the model's right cheek is very distracting. Otherwise, nicely done.

Diamonds and pearls
by Lena

Comment:
This image is playing tricks on me - the flower is (in parts) very sharp, the diamonds reasonably sharp, but the pearls are way too soft - maybe the depth of field is TOO narrow? The composition is also a little bit too square and orthogonal for my liking - introducing some angles to add a little "movement" or dynamism would help a lot.

Good choice of subject and a nice action shot with the subject very sharp - but the background is also so sharp, that it is very distracting. Using a wider aperture would help. One option would be to move back and use a longer lens to reduce your depth of field - another would be to move in with a strong wide-angle lens to help isolate the subject from the background.

Mommy's Boy

Nice simple image, fits the theme very well. Having the matting cover the entire background of the frame helps make the image - if there were other background elements then it would be a bit distracting. Looks like a dog's eye view, which is a nice touch too. :)

Nice detail and lighting, good variation in the colours adds interest, and stacking them makes a nice change from simply putting them on a plate. The objects in the background intrude a little too much though - maybe having them a bit further off or more to one side might help?

YACHT
by birdyblue

Comment:
This looks a bit too busy for my liking; it ends up just being a jumble of boat shapes without carrying a lot of impact - either in terms of sheer size or luxuriousness. I think this is a case where "less is more" - if you could isolate one of the yachts, particularly a large one (with something else to give a reference point for size) then it would work better. Other yachts in the background would be ok, but these are too mixed up together.

Interesting still life. The choice of colours and lighting directions work well for me, particularly the control of the lighting on the background (i.e. not lighting the entire background).

This image made me smile, the model's pleasure is infectious. Well composed, nice and sharp, background is non-distracting - I expect some might not like the really dark background, but it works for me.
