Great geometry. The expression of the guy, the elimination of other subjects and the variation of colours over the frame are perfect!

Ten times better for the great note. Fantastic!

Pity about the underwear. Otherwise it qualifies as body painting!

Fantastic shot, well detailed ... good composition, interesting and successful choice including the hand, focus right on the eyes. The only thing I would work on is the tone, which feels a little flat to me.

Very beautiful photo with a lot of variation in texture (walls, floor), line (walls, jars) and contrast. Some more information about what the subject is doing and how that is significant would have improved your note.

This shot would benefit from bringing up the whites closer to pure white.

An interesting subject and informative note. It must have been hard to work with the extreme light conditions!

An interesting subject and note but you could improve the composition: having a large, central foreground that is out of focus is not really a winner, at least in my book. Also, adding a dash of colour (such as some green leaves at the statue base or as an out-of-focus foreground) to what is essentially a B&W may be a good way to add interest to this type of subject. Finally, I think the depth of field is too low. When you have a situation where there are multiple objects in the composition, it's often good to ensure that at least a primary and one or two secondary objects are in focus, except when you really need to emphasise the primary subject. Doing this, the image has more interest visually and the eye can rove around comfortably. In your composition the eye is forced to a disfigured face at the extreme end of your composition. If you wanted to make a feature of the face itself, a close-up or zoom on the face would have been more effective. If you wanted to contrast it with other faces, including only two statues to emphasise difference would have had more impact.

An interesting note and subject. My first reaction was "that looks like Yunnan!", the area of China where I live, opposite Maniput across the Kachin state of Burma. Unfortunately the photograph is not very clear and seems to have a blue haze. Perhaps if this is an analog shot the film, development, or scanning were less than perfect. Otherwise, maybe the chopper's windows were tinted?

Interesting composition and subject: I like the contrast between the liquid on the table (controlled, man made) and the liquid in the background (wild, natural). Some more information on the falls would have been nice. You would have reached a different result by taking a long exposure and blurring out the falls: in this way their white curves would both match and contrast with the white and black curves of the foreground chairs. This would be a good shot in a theme on humanity and nature.
