Opposite

Joey, This was one of my favorites of yours from the year. There is something about the contrast of a pretty girl with the disgusting alley background that just seems to work. Excellent processing, as people have come to expect from you. Nice choice on the angle, which works really well with the hair being blown by the wind. Good composition. Nice soft skin, again contrasted by rough textures of brick. Overall, a very good shot!!!!

At first I liked the image, but then my eye caught the dark dot along the left edge. I find it very very distracting. JMO.

Execution of focus is done very well. I have to ask, in an advanced editing challenge, with so many entries, why would you get rid of the 2 dust marks in the shot?

The bird in the shot gives this photo that extra something to make this go beyond just another shot of ruins ... coming from someone who has taken his fair share of ruins photos during my film days.

Do you see what I see?

A nice set up. I feel for this imnage to work, the reflection in the mirror needs to be in focus. JMO.

A wonderful scene. Nice colours and composed well. I wish the clouds weren't so blown out ... possibly a grad ND filter (either during capture or in post processing) would have helped with this.

A nice photo indeed. Wonderful little moment captured. I really like the partial framing on the left side and the overall composition. I find the red bows to be a bit distracting, but that's probably just me. Also, the nose looks a little overexposed. JMO
