| An odd view that works well. Very interesting with the shallow dof |

Sofia, I see a very distinct style devloping with your work. It's a style I'm drawn to lately and is very popular and beautiful. It uses dark tones to create an amazing richness. I am really looking forward to seeing more.
The only thing about this one - and this is something my first photography instructor mentored me about -- is that there seems to be that there is no real, dominant subject. I think for a photo to jump out and grab its viewers, there should be something very distinct that the rest of the photo is built around. This one uses really pretty soft blur with parts of several stems peaking out of them sharp and appealing, but I wonder if you had only had one branch in the photo and specifically focused on just that one branch -- and had the rest of the photo in that soft dreamy blur if it would have really popped.
I'm going to go look at your other two because I think you totally fixed that issue in those pictures. I'm excited for you, Sofia because I think you have alot of talent and I am really looking forward to watching you grow here :) I think you certainly should be shooting circles around your high school peers :)

| IMO the image lacks interest & the foreground blur has overpowered the image. |

| ps .. some of those shapes are just bordering on imaginary creatures ... suggested shapes are also one of my favourite things .. something that the person looking at it can make up their own mind about .. excellent ..:) |

i'm not going to be all gushing about this .. i'll give you my very first feeling when opening it instead ...
WOW .. !!! ... really .. !!
i love images with a bit'v darkness and i love the oof in this too ... everything works so well ... i love the way there are hints of shapes and then some in sharp focus .. it makes me think of some enchanted wood .. possibly enchanted with a less positive slant !!..
anyway ... sofia ..
I'M IMPRESSED .. !! ..:) |

| This one doesn't do too much for me. I like the idea of having a distinct foreground, midground and background. The midground and background look good, but the foreground is too prominent. Try usin the foreground elements to frame the shot. They should not over power it. |

| I'm not a big fan of oof foreground objects that take up alot of space but it seems to work for this shot. It gives this a peek through the woods feel. |
