I Bleed To Know That I Am Alive

Very suggestive. If there is one thing, a slightly longer focal lens might have compressed things a bit, this way the finger looks a bit distant from the face, as it belonged to someone else. But maybe that was the intention. I wonder how it would look if you were looking at the viewer. I really like your vision in this and other of your photographs.

Is it just me or there are a ghostly face and the figure of a ghostly little girl lingering in the water? Very well captured and certainly a good use of the ratio.

Nice high key.

Details Matter

Lovely texture, choice of angle, exposure and of course time of the day. While it does not suggest me any particular feeling, I find it a very strong image, visually.

Irrational Relationship
by gyaban

Comment:
Very well done. I am a bit unsure about the perhaps weak fill light and the background, as the head and hair might benefit from more separation fro the background. Maybe a second flash putting an highlight on the background could have helped (and a third one on the background behind the right foot to create a triangular motive mimicking the figure.. just, given I can barely switch a strobe on, probably I am just being delirious). Well done but, honestly, I find that turning this one in portrait orientation turns it from good to smashing excellent and so much more dynamic, with the body pulling away from light. Also, the lack of fill light from below, in vertical framing turns into a massive asset as the flower is anyway well lit.

Aging Gracefully

Very graceful indeed and the choice of background highlights/vignetting complement the subject very pleasantly. I suppose a framing such that the dark area in the background would mimic the golden spiral curve would have fitted the challenge even more (and in a very litteral, perhaps boring way, so probably a bad idea). Very pleasant bokeh. 8 from me.

Excellent silhouette. The beak is just perfect and the background creates a very effective vignette around the subject. Is this a real bird? In any case, a very nice, evocative image.

Couple at Sunset

Comment:
A very used and abused shot, perhaps.There is probably no photographer who never attempted this. But also an excellent photo and very graphical. The use of the hyperfocal distance is spot on. The diffraction from shooting into the sun is really well controlled, as it is the glare. Easy to expose but also difficult to expose really well. The silhouette is just perfect (please, don't tell me you spent 30 minutes waiting for the sun while cutting cardboard out.. just joking..). 9

Eye

Very interesting, clever framing. At first I though of a koala on a brown background :) I never thought of using facial features and tight framing to create this kind of illusion. Also, there is even a third image hidden in it. Rare image. 9
