I like the composition, maybe a little tight on the left and I wish we could see a little more of her profile. I like the selective color but the hdr seems a little too much. Her shirt has a really dodged look and the glow off the her arms and legs look too unnatural for me. Love the red heels. Cheers -Sonja

Very well composed and I love the green. The only thing I would say is that the magenta cast on the the back part is a little distracting to me. I wish it was just green and silver. Nice work! -Sonja

The tilted horizon actually works alright here, but I would definitely focus on touching up and properly cropping photos before posting them. This makes it look like you don't care about the photo when you leave a white line on the side. I realize this is film or scanned print and maybe you don't have a photo editing program, but at least crop it during scanning. There is no detail in the shadows and I would either have vignetting on all corners, not just bottom, or not at...

I think this photo would be a lot stronger with the left window cropped out, and I'm not sure what is above the head, but I would clone/burn it out, it is distracting. The rest is quite nice. Cheers -Sonja

I really like that the chairs are wooden with wicker/woven seats which works well with the wood floor. There are some nice textures and I like the POV. It seems there is just a hint too much cyan in the floor, but I like the color contrast with the yellow/orange chairs. There are a couple blown out white spots on some of the middle chairs where I think you could clone in a little texture. Nice job Patrice. Cheers -Sonja

I love the concept and I think this is well executed. The colors are nice but I will agree the shirt shouldn't be there, more so because the lightness of it distracts my eye. It wasn't exactly clear to me that this was a heart, at first I saw a withered apple or something. Maybe if one of the cut veins/valves were more obvious it would help. Nice DOF. Cheers -Sonja

Wonderful image! The colors are great, and I like the composition but wish there was just a tad more space on the bottom and less on top. Cheers -Sonja

I am surprised to find this in the neglected photos. It is a nice capture, it's just a little dull. With a little contrast/brightness and some post processing magic this will be a very nice landscape. I think you could make the sky a little more dramatic, and the spot with the sun seems a little blown out. I might try cropping off a little from the left. -Sonja

The composition is pretty good here, and I love the different colored yarn and the bricks (in the reflection?). What would really help this photo is a healthy boost of contrast and a little saturation. I really wish the window 2nd from the bottom on the left didn't have those boxes(?) with the cord hanging down. I might try removing them or burning them down to make them less distracting. Just needs a little love to be a very nice image. -Sonja

A very nice macro abstract Doug, but I agree about the blue stripe in the middle. It's probably just the light off a moving strand, but it's distracting. The orange in the bottom corner distracts me too. I can see why this is in color with all the rainbows, but I wonder if this would be a good candidate for B&W. Cheers -Sonja

Nice DOF and composition except that I would have cropped out the white building on the right side. I agree that the white balance seems a bit on the yellow side. Although this seems a little heavy handed on the post processing (the eyes for one), it works here and I can definitely see this image on a postcard/greeting card. What beautiful animals! Nice job -Sonja

Very nice composition and the fog is lovely, I just wish It was a higher quality photo so I could better critique it. It just looks blurry and pixelated to me which I'm sure is just from a very low-res version. Although it's not a 'high quality' photo, I still give it 2TU for a well seen capture. Cheers -Sonja

The reflections are very nice, a good capture of sunset/moonrise. I wish the sky was a little more interesting, had some more clouds or was a little darker. The few clouds that are there aren't doing much for me and I would probably remove them. I also might crop just a little off the right side. Overall nice capture. -Sonja

While I agree that this should be rotated 90° to the left and the rocks lack contrast, I definitely don't find it 'uninspiring and uninteresting'. I think with a little post processing love this will be a nice shot. Cheers -Sonja

Orange happens to be my favorite color, so I'm a fan of that, but I think the benches blend into the floor too much. I think darkening that part of the floor a bit would help. Also it seems that it might be a tiny bit over sharpened (I like it on the ceiling), and I agree about the slight tilt to the right. Cheers -Sonja
