Can't add much to the other comments: it's the colors (the eyes, the skintone, clothes) that 'make' this image. I only think the white background of UF don't do the image justice. It either needs a frame, or a darker background.

Nice candid. I like the expression of the girl at front. Like she is a little nervous about whether the the pigeons will peck her while feeding...

Very well seen. I also like the way you cropped it (compared to the original). And the conversion to B/W is appropriate.
May be you can crop even more from the top. I noticed the one white tile at the top is a bit distractive.

Yes, really a dramatic portrait. Good pose, contrast and great composition. I'd only preferred a cooler toning to match her expression.

I must say, at first i skipped these series of images thinking 'Not another set of photoshop cut and past work', but i'll have to admit it is more...

An absolutely gorgeous image. I think the composition is very good, only i wished it was not so dark. As i was curious how it would look if the contrast was stronger and the image lighter, i did a quick edit in PS. I used levels to enhance the contrast and shift the midtones. I also increased the saturation of the blue channel a little.

I can imagine that changing the frame and less cropping would change the impact. For some reason i can't explain they add a 3D feel to the image. I like the expression and the overall mood of the image.
The problem with the small width has probably a lot to do with the white space around it. If i were able, i would move to the left on my screen. so my suggestion is to make the border larger. See the attached image - i also added your about to the image itself. See i you like it...

I am a little ambiguous about this image. The colors and the simple layered composition are fantastic, but i'm not so sure about the blur. It creates an artificial point of interest, but the image size is too small (even the 'large' version) to be able to give a fair judgement.

Nice composition and beautiful light. I like the combination of the vertical lines of the trees and the horizontal lines formed by the shadows.

I like the rhythm and the clarity of this image - it looks as if it's designed on the drawing board. (minor note: the wires are not exactly horizontal). Great series.

Almost an abstract. well spotted and a clever composition. I like the way the cyclist and the two persons on the beach break the monotomy of the horizontals.

Well seen, i like the symmetry, the strong lines and the blue/orange contrast. In contrast with Avi's suggestion, mine would be to crop less, showing a little bit more of the tree and use a square format.

The theme of image is too sad to call it beautiful but it's a strong image, with subtle tones and mood. Makes me curious about the story behind it.

I'm curious why you added this to the 'Children' category because to me, it looks like an angry old tree. The effect is interesting, but i do think the edges around the eyes do need a more 3D effect to make them appear a real part of the tree.

This feels like a still from a major blockbuster movie production like Narnia or Harry Potter. I like this very much.
And thanks for providing the explanation of the lighting setup.
