| This shot encapsulates january for me. The composition is strong, with the eyes being drawn to the centre. The colours chosen here support the composition, and the shallow depth of field assists in drawing the eye from the back to the front. - I like this. |

To me, this seems like the photographic equivalent of a sketched idea for a shot - 'how about we set this thing up, you know, gloved hands, bowl of soup' kind of thing. Your execution leaves an awful lot to be desired, I'm afriad. The questions it throws up for me: the colour structure of it - black gloves, muted purple fleece, red cup? Was there no more coherent structure you could have found? The lighting - simple on-board flash is soblunt, so head-on, leaves those strong and ugly shadows, and doesn't have the angle or the softness to add grace to the scene. The composition and the set-up: was it really better to have gloved hands anyway? Was a completely symmetrical composition so very effective - would it perhaps not have been more effective to show more of the person? Did the contents of the bowl have to be quite so ugly-looking - and certainly not warming in appearnace? wouldn't captureing the steam coming off that bowl have given a greater sensation of coldness in the air than is implied simply by gloved hands?
I appreciate that this is a 'real' scene - but photography of the 'real' is not necessarily a matter of simply finding a moment that is so blatantly representative and shooting it any old how. |

| I can really feel this photo, reminds me of nights in cabins when travelling in the highlands of Iceland at winter. |

EH! what the f*** is that!!!
Looks like someone has been busy hunting humans. I really don't think I want to see that on a Calendar. Whatever is in there, it's not something I want to see for a whole month. |

| Nice photo, although I would have used just a plain background for the hot chocolate. |

| Wonderful idea for a cold January! Only thing I can suggest to improve this is the colors are a bit flat to me, but that is just a personal opinion or taste. |

| A very good idea which could be improved in composition and colour selection. |

| I can feel both the cold and the warm through this photo. Well done! I think a broadish black border/frame would suit this image for a white page. Perhaps the focus should have been on the mugs contents rather than the gloves? A nice 7. |

| I like your composition, and the bright color of the mug really grabs your attention. I'd rate this photograph higher if the lighting was better though (less flat from the front flash). |
