I love all the colors and items of interest in the shot. I will also say that the same things that are fun and excellent also detract from the major focus. A nice shot that can seem a bit cluttered. Still nice job!

Interesting use of pp on this one. The outlining is also very interesting and draws lots of attention to the shot. I like it!

This one freaks me out a little bit in a trippy kind of way. The movement aspect of the photo adds interest.

I am not quite sure the reason for the selective blurring. I like the image overall. The only other area I have issue with is the foreground as it appears a bit blown out.

I like the thought and I love the eyes. A very nice shot deserving of a great score.

I love the contrast of the white and the blue hues. Great capture. The expression is excellent on the model's face as well. The eyelashes might be a bit much for me, but that is tremendously nitpicky. Great job.

Serious noise issues for me and the background buildings behind the tree have something funky going on. Not entirely certain what it is, but it attracts my eye and not in a good way. All that being said I can't imagine how tough this shot would be with all of the various light sources and trying to balance all that out in a clearly night shot would be almost impossible. Thank you for sharing the shot with us.

I like this one. The tinting is excellent and oddly enough the veins in the eyelids I would actually say even add to the shot. Somehow that is instantly where my eye was drawn and it adds to the shot for me. A great take on the challenge and I am sure this shot will do well.

The background does this shot in for me. I think I could probably go for the house type background but the Christmas lights ruin this for me. I like the presentation of the dress though.

A nice shot. Might have been even better if the little guy or gals footprints were the first to break the snow instead of the car tracks all the way back in.
