This is the 7th contest and i felt that everyone should know the rules by now.

Photo #1 :
I enjoy the candidness of the photo, and the rather extreme bokeh, and the quality in general. It was very wonderfully exposed, and the composition is excellent. I give it a 6/10.

What I don't like:
This photo barely makes it into the contest theme. Most of us will actually have to scroll down to see that he is in fact, on a horse. I wish you would've gotten just a tad bit more. Additionally, the photo seems a little soft (did you crop?). I also would prefer for you to darken the edges just a tad bit to create an emphasis on the man. At any rate, this is a lovely submission.

Photo #2:
I don't think this fits into the theme too well, so I will not comment.

Photo #3:
Kid looks like me when I was a baby. This is original as fuck - while keeping within the rules (of sizing), you provided a set. I'm sure we will be seeing 'sets' in the future. GREAT IDEA!! Composition on these is excellent.
8/10 overall because kid looks like me. 10/10 for contest theme.

Photo #4:
Composition is excellent. It fits well into the theme. I love the creamy noise. What I don't like: the dark eyes, the photo itself is very dark / underexposed. I would have preferred it in black and white.

Photo #5:
wow... 10/10 in theme and IQ and post editing and composition. I LOVE the way you handled the noise in this photo. You can obviously tell she's in a dressing room, trying out a dress. This tells a huge story within itself. The composition of this (strange 1:1-ish crop) is SEXY. I LOVE how you only got her lips/chin and left out the rest, which, along with the way the chain glitters in just the perfect spots, it adds some serious classy-ness. Finally, she's got a very attractive body, and the angle you shot this in very effectively captured that.


Picture #6:
10/10 for theme follow. Some guy is leaving a church / building, saying bye. Composition, IQ, light dynamics, and the general 'spark' of the photo is lacking. Whoever took this photo should PM me so I can give him my ideas about editing this photo.
