Beautiful capture. Awesome colours, and the composition is perfect - the markings on the plant/leaf really draw attention to the fly. This has a distinct artistic feel that's very appealing. Nice job!

Not Another Self Portrait?

lol... I was actually hoping to get more distortion out of it. I do have a weird forehead though - it's the powerful brain, y'know. ;)

At Peace With Curves

You entirely missed the point. The photo displays almost everything that is supposed to be despised by women about ourselves - too much weight, veins, uneven skin tone - in a straight forward, simplistic manner, without diminishing the subject (I do not for the life of me understand how people can be the "fat one" on diet pill commercials and such).

Some people get it, I guess, and some don't.

Woww..Beautiful

Awwwwwwwwww! First off, I love the colours; secondly, I'm a sucker for a little kitty in any sort of little container. In this case, the pretty bowl works well, and the kitty is absolutely adorable. Composition is nice; colours all look good, and the sharpness is decent. I see some mild noise or perhaps compression artifacts in the red, but red always seems to show that too much, so it doesn't take away IMO. Adorable! Nice shot.

First let me say that you've probably already heard about the noise, so I'm not going to talk about it much. It doesn't really bother me; there is perhaps a tad too much, but it's not enough to take much at all away from this photograph for me. I think you've done a marvelous job of catching some of this beautiful animal's spirit on [not film - um, digital media? :)] and I love the way the light, shadows, and lovely, smooth background look. The bright sky fits - the shadows and highlights are right on to my eye. I also like the crop/composition - lovely photograph! Lots of personality. 8.

Portrait of "A"
by alanbataar

Comment:
This is a lovely portrait - it imparts a real feeling of character, and the background colour works brilliantly to make the photograph feel complete. I like the sense of motion with her hair; it lends a free, upbeat feel to the picture that compliments her smile and shiny eyes. My only complaint is that I see a few distracting artifacts (compression?), particularly in the hair/background. Regardless, a lovely, solid photograph - 9.

Remembrance of Lost Soldiers

The simplicity of this, and the smooth colour transitions really give this photograph a lot of appeal. It has almost an abstract quality in that I see the colours and immediately feel a sense of tranquility before I absorb the contents of the foreground and background; this is definitely a very beautiful work of art. Nice job!

Mother and Child
by Seanachai

Comment:
I love this one! The clarity is stunning, composition is brilliant, and there is some really lovely bokeh going on too. And somehow the "new" element of the mother and the "old fashioned" element of her beautiful child really combine to make this not only gorgeous but interesting and unique. Excellent work!

Water Web

Comment:
I'm a sucker for a spider web, and the beaded water drops are perfectly captured here. Lovely work - sharpness is excellent, composition works well; I'd like if the dark bits were a tad closer to black-black, but - regardless - this is awesome work.
