As others have already mentioned, this image benefits considerably by increased contrast and sharpening. I like your cropping, and subject. |

I love the horses and wagon coming off the bridge. However, the brightness of the background trees is distracting me somewhat from your wonderful subject. Does this still work if you darken the trees? Ah ... now that I read the other comments, I see Diana already suggested that. As others have mentioned, I think the completely black background feels too artificial for my taste. |

Interesting striations in the plant. I think they work very well in monochrome. The surrounding shrubs/plants distract me a bit from the intricate patterns here. Thus, I've tried a tighter crop, and also increased the contrast somewhat. See what you think about that.

This is an interesting old building, and I, too, like the sepia here. The cropping on the left side seemed a bit tight/awkward, but once Carol added the cat, I was less inclined to notice the tight crop on the left. I like the cat, but also just the suggestion of a person looking out the right window might be interesting. Of course, I realize that's much easier said than done, particularly as I my digital editing skills leave much to be desired. |

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to adjust the contrast some more and play with the composition. |

My apologies for my late arrival for comments.
The arch here looked like just that to me, but with it and the left hand being the bright part of the image, that is where I want to look. Carol's efforts to darken that side added nice texture in the hand and helped with the bright wall. I realize she is standing partially in the light and partially out, but am wondering if it might help to darken her face slightly. On my monitor, the area around the eye to the viewer's right and the chin are a bit hot. I like your cropping and the expression. I know portraits are very hit or miss in the salons, but it seems to me this one is worth trying. |
