Smile With A Piece Missing

Great clarity and focus in this shot. His expression is wonderful showing how excited and happy he his is about losing the tooth. Looking at your score, I would think a lot of people scored this lower as they didn't agree with your interpretation of the challenge topic, not much you can do about that.

IMO, the black and white works well for this shot. Suggestions on improvements, the backdrop should either be ironed so their are no wrinkles or scrunched so it is all wrinkles, voters tend to not like obvious fold marks. Moving him farther from the backdrop and changing your depth of field so that the backdrop is more out of focus is another way to handle that.

I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Like the composition with the pink flower against the dark mountains. Be careful of the blown highlights in the clouds.

Very effective shot. Is this IR?

Godd choice of subject and composition. I think the presentation would be helped by a slight rotation to the right, to bring the horizontal lines parallel to the bottom of the frame and make the sides equal distance from the bottom.

Full Moon, Sunrise, Chatham Light

The left antenna may have .25 angle to it but the lighthouse itself, going by the sides of the window housing looks perfectly straight to me. I like the pverall effect of the vignetting. I also like that your exposure keeps detail showing in the moon and still allows the shadowing around the shape of the lighthouse.

Love the colour tones in this. A beautiful take on a much photgraphed landmark.

Gorgeous colours in this shot. IMO, the white border does not do justice to the photo. You might consider adding a 2 pixel black border between the shot and the outer white border.

Lovely! Nice, vibrant colours, effective composition. The frame really accents the sky colour well.

good composition and focus. I find the white dust specks on the black background detract from the overall presentation. You may want to consider cloning them out.

Zen and the Art of Sunsets

IMO, this may have been more effective for Zen if taken not through the posts. The sunset and waves are well captured but I find the posts detract from what would otherwise be a serene scene.
