Naturally Beautiful

Nice reflection. In fact, colors are nicer reflelected in the water in reality (lack of sharpness mainly). You could have played with just the trees and their reflections, shooting closer. I would crop the unesthetic building, not adding anything to the scene.

Japanese Calligraphy

Very minimalist composition, conveying very well the feeling of grace. It's simple, well done and efficient.

GRACE in DISGRACE
by Chez

Comment:
Amazing, original, and perfectly kitsch, up to the frame color. Great title. Lot's of imagination! I can barely imagine somebody would think of such a display in the country where I live. Seems a bit overcontrasted and saturated... but it wouldn't be kitsch without.

Natural Grace

Very nice macro, perfect DOF, attractive and sober background. Light is well arranged too, and water drops make a beautiful image. Color tones on the flower AND the leaves are beautiful and working very well together. A very good composition!

Heaven's Grace
by dcano

Comment:
Framing is good, as I understood you wanted to keep the halo intact.. Light on the top of the head is a bit overexposed and washes the shawl texture, while there could be more light and sharpness on the dress. But it shoul be limitated to keep the feeling of heaven\\\'s grace present.

Reflecting Ritual

IMO, swans can be more gracious. This one seems to try a take off with extra luggage, and the duck doesn't seem to care at all. Seems underexposed. A bit more contrast and brightness could help to bring more white tones on the swan. Cloning the duck and cropping out 1/3 on top and same on the left to bring the swan forward could also be a good idea.

Ugly Duckling? Swan appearance?

Very cute, well seen and nice title too. What I like here is that it looks very natural, as this little girl has been catched in movement (blurred hair curl and hands). Very attractive snapshot and , indeed, very gracious.

Fallen

Comment:
I suppose there is a symbol here (emprisonned grace?), but not conveying really the grace topic. Anyhow, it's a well photographied image, with a very good lighting, good choice of b/w. Diagonals working well together. Lot's of atmosphere with a simple subject.

Praying Mantis

The praying mantis is a very elegant insect, but here... doesn't work at all.

... I will sing with the harp...

Comment:
Original framing focusing the attention on the hands and the harpist concentration. Sure it's gracious and well expressed.
