Interesting photograph that is well illuminated and focussed to provide the depth of field emphasised by the frame.
Perhaps it's a matter of taste (my gender ;-) ), but I found the pubic region, which was not natural looking, competing with the image around the frame. My suggestion is that the picture be cropped or another subject selected without that unnatural area down there.
Nice photograph.

Wow what a dramatic photograph that is well cropped with depth provided by the ears of grains at the front. Eye catching.
I am sure you will get many comments but for me, the picture has been overworked in Photoshop to no longer look real. It's only my opinion but to me the sides of the mountain looks like lava is flowing down and the whole thing looks over done. There is certainly drama in the photograph but I really feel the Photoshop work should have focussed on the...

A pleasant subject that is well exposed and focussed. It shows a particularly shallow depth of field with the animals at the left very much out of focus.
I suggest some cropping out of the left hand side combined with some top and bottom to match. It would create some more intimacy with greater focus on the interesting face.
Nice photograph though.

Interesting for the careful orientation of lights to leave the supporting hand in darkness making it look unstable, about to fall forward. Clever induction of tension. Like it very much.
Overall a very pleasing, well composed figure that is unusual and fascinating. Well done Duncan.

Well, I get the feel of the early morning flow and taking it against the rising sun works fairly well. The faces however are poorly illuminated so much of the impact is lost. A little opening up of the lens, or slower speed to correct for the sunlight would have helped a lot.
Perhaps too, cropping out some 20 per cent on the right would help focus on the key subjects especially as they dont add much.

An interesting and well composed and illuminated photo but something is missing.
As a commercial advertising photograph, the label is clear and if the intent is to promote the bottle, it is a pity its top is cropped away. Perhaps that is to maintain a more normal ratio (ie not to narrow) but the overall impact is dulled and not helped by having it fuzzy so one doesnt have the contrast against the fuzzy glass in the foreground.
A good throw up of the label though.

Yes like the surreal look of the sky blending with the sea but the boats are not well defined. It almost begs some cropping to bring the boats in closer. In some situations the fuzziness could work (eg with older classic boats) but I feel it doesnt work too well here.
Overall a pleasant scene of stillness.

Very clever controlled lighting with red all around except on the face by a stronger light to make it stand out and naturally.
The cropping is particularly well done to promote intimacy with the subject, and being tight, emphasises the cramped look of the model.
If I were to nit pick it would be that a bit of her pants remains as a residue on the top of her right thigh and her elbow has a dark (looking dirty) patch.
A really excellent photograph though, well done.

Nice exposure, depth of field and good effect to reproduce in black and white to promote the dreariness of the setting. It has an interesting human element with central figure eyeing off the lady but that is eroded by detail at right that does not add. Why not crop it down a bit, say ten to fifteen per cent at the right (and a little on top and bottom to maintain ratio?
A fairly interesting photograph though.

An interesting way to show the shoreline - via an anchor chain way of the boat. The buildings are so sharp and well exposed they leap out at you. But, how about either a bit of cropping and/or taking out that very bright area on the left which competes for one's eye.
Overall an interesting photograph - well done Anatoly.

A photograph that begs to be cropped. The focus is the man looking at the cow and that could be emphasised by cutting out say 10 to 15 per cent of the right hand side (and some of the bottom to maintain the ratio) that really dont add to the photograph. Otherwise well exposed and focussed.

Stunning subtle and well exposed to give a feeling of mystique. A pity about the flare on the chin though. Also detracting is the road below which takes from the feeling of being in nature but otherwise an excellent pleasing photograph. Well done, well cropped and well exposed.

What an interesting and well composed photograph!
Here the dominant shawl which catches the eye is continued on to the eye colour.
And then to add tension, the wall has a slight lean.
A slight flaw is the green line on the skin at the right. Overall the excellent exposure makes this a memorable photograph.
Well done!

The setting is exotic but what are these interesting people looking at? Well cropped but dull and uninspiring. Could do with some photoshopping to bring out the shadow areas but in the end, that looking away leaves me uninspired.
Taking the photograph lower down to create some connection and perhaps with them looking at us would have created a much more interesting photograph.

Beautiful expose of an orchid with excellent illumination and focus. I feel the right one third could be cropped out as it represents dead space that does not offer an offset.
Good effort though
