The Lady with the Lantern
by kiwiness

Somehow I feel like I have seen this Lady before. Is she Pia? :-))

The photo is full of emotions: I see fear and curiosity in her eyes. The costume is great, too, and the lighting is excellent! The lantern adds a soft glare on her face. My alltogether impact is that this could be a scene from a movie, just like the pause button pressed on my DVD player. Very well done, excellent job!

Hey, the best of all frog photos! :-) He has wonderful eyes and the crown fits him well. :-) The flower adds a nice element to your greens and has a beautiful shape, but I am not sure about the position. I can't explain why. Alltogether a great shot, and I love it. :-)

Selective desaturation is a great technique to highlight parts of the photo. Here, though, I am not sure about it. The reds are so beautiful vivid, I am sure they would have worked well on a coloured photo. As all other colours were taken away, the dog's toundge and a bit of the girl's face remained redish. Anyway, composition is great, and I love the expression on her face! :-)

DOF is excellent, I love the castle-shaped background which adds much to your shot. Composition with the shoe is great, nice angle. :-) Good luck!

I don't know the tale, but your photo tells me one, let me tell you it. :-)

First of all, I love the duality of the photo. The armour has strength and it's hard, she is the one who is ready to fight and die for her homeland. But under her heavy armour, she is a woman with full of sensuality (being nude under the armour makes me feel this). Maybe her family was killed and she is having revenge, but deep in her heart she has true love for a man. That's the story your photo tells me, and therefore I love it a much! Technical presentation is great, too, lighting, composition and B&W works well. Good luck! :-)

I prefer the B&W version, it's soooo emotive, and use of negative space works very well. Congrats on a well-deserved blue!

Alice In Wonderland

DOF and composition is excellent, but I doesn't feel much soul in this shot, due to the rigid plastic toy. She doesn't really look like Alice for me, I would imagine her as a pink faced blond girl with wonderful a dress. This could be a top shot with a blond little girl! :-) Now I am really in trouble with voting... :-(

Prince Charming of the 21st century, LOL. :-) No white horse, just a white Ferrari and stuff... Creative, modern implementation of the challenge, selective desaturation is really expressive! Good luck. :-)
