Really quite fascinating. I think the "flaws" add to the shot and make it more interesting than it would have been otherwise. 8

I find this incredibly fascinating. but the walls seem so dark, I really would like to see what it looks like with brighter walls (and the sensor dust gone). But the rest is very compelling. I don't know why the walls bother me. 7 for what it is now. 8 or 9 with bright walls. :)

(I know it's weird. I can't explain it. )

Blurred Seascape

I assume the flaw is the blur. Nicely done. Actually the only flaws I see are some sensor dust. :)

The picture is better with the "flaw", but doesn't grab me. So definitely a 6, but not higher because, though it's lovely, it's not something I'd want to go back to over and over.

So I assume the flaw is the overexposure and the focus. It actually is quite beautiful. I don't like the leaves in the bottom center (the ones that are more in focus). Without those, I'd actually think this is a 8 or 9. It's really quite lovely. 7 for now.

Blurry

Many definitely think blurry is a flaw. So then I'm trying to figure out if the flaw helps or hurts the photo. I think in the long run it helps this one. The feet are quite fascinating, the flowing behind her is great. The flow at the top is distracting. Would it be more interesting with part of the top cropped off?

I think this would have been less interesting without the flaw. I think you've made the shot more interesting. Overall 7.

two strobes -- one turned up more lighting the front, one behind me and to my left lighting the back. I had to adjust a lot in post processing because it was quite underexposed.
