Assignment closed.

Analyzing.

Decision soon.

Kayaker is chosen for landscape: Exeter in Winter (great title by the way) I like the curve as a leading line, the texture of the broken ice, and involving the foreground in the composition.


Sewards of eyes: Gonna Getcha I like strong balance of the eyes and the narrow depth of focus, and it has attitude. Would like the see that shot in BW also.

Congratulations
