A 10. So beautiful, but so frail. Great lighting and mood for this picture. Hope to see her story after the contest.

So lovely to look at, very calm and peaceful, added to faves... but not black and white.

If this was a candid: good job, but tighter cropping would have hid her tummy. Also could use a little more contrast.
If this was staged: Would be better with the sunglasses off, put him in something a little more classical (to match the timeless quality of her sweater), and remove his watch, which is a bit distracting to my eye. A different angle - showing less of his face and more of hers - would be preferable (because let's face it, women are generally better to look at than men are!) :)

Afternoon Cityscape

Has the beginnings of cool shot, nice use of grays... but looking at it, all I can think is "Nice trash,". Think it'd be a lot better without the trash and the car - a much more classic picture.

Intersting idea, I like the dark feel, but I think just a little more light would have helped to see the gun better. Plus the wedding band doesn't exactly ring true to the hit man theme :)

Sit. Relax.

Great composition, just a wee bit too dark IMO.

I love this view, but not the (trees? sticks?) in the foreground or the plane trails in the sky. You may think I'm silly, but I think this would be a wonderfully serene photo if it were cropped very narrow to just the large hill in the foreground and the layers of misty hills - very little sky (just before the vapor trails start) and no trees.

So very cool - an awesome picture. Would like to see it in B&W instead of the browntone.

Such a very moody yet lovely picture. I like it very much... Would love to mark this higher but I'm one of those anal folks who's voting low on images that are not strictly B&W.

Not B&W or a palette of grays. Cute dog, but highlights are overexposed.
