Fear - Julie S Johnson

Judge: Chris Casler Total Score: 93

Technique: 32 Impact: 33 Composition: 28

Glock closeup. Shows forethought. A bit scary. Consider having a whisp of smoke coming out of the barrel as if it was just shot.

Toothy grin - Bill Down

Technique: 28 Impact: 30 Composition: 32

Love it. Reminds me of Pogo. It should be a poster in dentists' offices. Consider vignetting, burning background, or cropping tighter to concentrate attention on Albert's grin.

Technique: 31 Impact: 33 Composition: 25

Cute and a bit weird. Consider cropping to a square to lose the hinge on the right.

A girl & her dog - Bill Down

Judge: Chris Casler Total Score: 96

Technique: 33 Impact: 33 Composition: 30

Nice! Brought tears to my eyes. I can see and feel her love for her best friend. I like how the background was knocked down. Suggest more careful dodging and burning, e.g. the tee-shirt on her left should could be 1-1/2 stops darker and her face could have more contrast. Nice and sharp image.

Micanopy cemetery - Bill Down

Judge: Chris Casler Total Score: 90

Technique: 33 Impact: 31 Composition: 26

Eerie and emotive. Good use of infrared technique. Good leading line into the shot from lower left. Consider cropping the right to emphasize the tree arching over the headstones.

Profound Concern - Julie S Johnson

Technique: 32 Impact: 31 Composition: 24

Cute. Oh, my! Reminds me of "The Scream." I'm always concerned with pictures on the wall being perfectly straight. That applies here, too. The vertical lines in the background are not perpendicular. However, if you straighten the shot then the face will be canted more, but maybe that will work for you.
