Outstanding. Good coverage of tones. I see the black in the bench leg and a wide range of tones. Love the shadow under the bench; lovely, rich tonalities in this image.

Not only a creative use of color in your duotone image but you have covered the range with your tones. Nice work with the topic. My first reaction was to my perception that the horizon felt tilted. It may not be but I'd be surprised if I'm the only one for whom the image ellicits this feeling. Have you tried rotating the image 2-3 degrees clockwise?
Thanks for a creative treatment that is well-done.

Without lifting the image and checking it for myself I can't tell if the darkest areas are solid blacks; then again you may not have meant them to be. Lovely composition & lighting but I wish the darkest tones were emptier & blacker. Great tones; does it print well in a larger format?

It seems busy to me and I think that leads me to look for a little more contrast to try and separate some element out. The tones seem to be handled well but I just can't get away from the quantity and pervasiveness of the elements that compete in this shot.

Wow. Love the sky in this one. I wonder; do the clouds lose definition in a larger version of this? They look very bright but they seem to have some tone and depth to them even at their brightest.

Nice shot and good editing.

Damn!

You are one weird but funny guy. Yeah, ummm, down in the states we have chocolate that "melts in your mouth, not on your face". I'll be happy to ship some up to you next time you get a hankering for some chocolaty goodness.

Again with the "hey look what I saw that you didn't"! Nice shot. Love the effect you chose for this. Good job.

Wow. Through the vase the highlights look blown but then you see the specular work on the tablecloth and compare that with the stem and DANG you nailed that exposure. Cool shot. I just love you "found object" guys. It amazes me the cool images you get.

I like the contrast in this shot; good idea to convert it to cut down on the clutter for the viewer. It looks like it might still be just a little to small an aperture with the foreground sharpness for my tastes but I like the subject.

Dude,

I just saw this. Awesome. Maybe next time we can get you a decent model to work with. I hear these two are pretty difficult on the set.
