Good job on the composition and exposure on this one.

Portrait of the Caribbean

A very good idea. Great background for a portrait. I think that the shot would take great benefit of a much tighter crop.

Nice job here. Your model looks very comfortable and at ease. You've done well at trying to capture her 'spirit' or character, the goal of a good portrait. Good job.

Portrait of an Eagle

A very daring entry. I applaud you for that. But, I applaud you even more for what an outstanding entry it is, in my eyes. The photo definitely stops me in my tracks and demands my attention. Technically, there is not much I can say, other than everything is just dead spot on. Focus is great, the eyes are nice and sharp, awesome exposure. A totally great edit. I can see detail in the lights and darks, just awesome. I see all the veins in the feathers, I feel like I could reach out and touch that beak. He for sure stands out against the dark bg. A magical composition, and a 'pose' that I honestly don't normally see in 'avian' shots. I really am afraid that a lot of voters may slam this beautiful image for not being a traditional 'portrait of a person', but to this viewer, at least, you really have nailed a true 'portrait' much more than a lot of the entries in the field. And on a couple of different levels I might add also. You really have captured the character, the true essence of this magnificent bird, and all that it stands for. You can call it a portrait. You can call it anything. What you can not call it is anything but a totally outstanding image. Please excuse me now, while I lovingly gaze upon this masterpiece a bit longer, before placing in my favs with a perfect score of 10. Thank-you.

A lovely image. Definitely shows that not all 'kid' shots are 'bad'. Nice work!

I find the subtleties of this image sneak up on the viewer and slowly grab them by the throat. The composition, edit, and composition of this shot work together. I quite like the photo. Nice job!

Very cool. Use of the shadows here definitely help this image to stand out and be noticed. Nice job.
