I'm torn here. On the one hand, you you have nicely captured the mood. But I'm a bit distracted by the lighting on her lower body. My personal interest would be to focus more closely on the detail work she is performing.

wonderful street scene

Appalling thing to happen and see

Very nice photo this and like how you show here working without intruding

great shot this and a good animal photo of closeness

Must have been terrific to get this and you did an excellent job

Nice detail, but I found myself working a bit too hard to find the focus of the piece. More cropping on the left perhaps?

The juxtaposition of stark sadness and joy that defies focus emphasizes the isolation (which I actually prefer as a title). Very well composed.

There are nice, strong elements here. the red is particularly vivid. My only concern is that the center of the picture is dark, creating confusion as to where to look.

You really captured the emotions in this shot! It's one of the pictures that is more enjoyable the more I look at it.

think the plain background helps bring this to life and wonder what the thinking was behind this statue

This sort of comes to life and good that you included part of the place in this,gives it a sense of scale and extra interest,wonder what the thinking was behind this statue

Beautiful, where is it and how did you get the background so clean?

Nice but please straighten the horizon.

Butt feet toes belt soil rock..this pic is a combination of four letter words haha good luck

That reflection is amazing

Beautiful image good luck author

I agree that there is a lot going on here. I kept coming back to my first reaction, which was visceral. It made my back hurt to look at it. This made it most effective.

My favorite part of this photo is the blur of people passing in the background. If anything, I would have liked the picture cropped to emphasize this more.

your welcome
