Peter Alling's "Winter- Don't Forget your Scarf": Read what he says about it. The title really helps support the shot, which makes me think about spending a little more effort on my own titles.
Kevin Waterson "Portrait" looks like it was shot for a model's portfolio. I don't like the shadow on her neck (probably unavoidable due to her right arm), other than that it serves its purpose well.
Butch Black's "Paula Reading": I didn't like this one at first then it grew on me. Although Butch says "Quiet .... meditative" this thing screams color, and yet it is quiet and meditative in its way. I think your gamble paid off. And I find shots like this, where I don't quite know what grabs me, to be among the most interesting shots each month.
Roman Sonnleitner "End of Vacation": Now this one IS quiet and meditative. Well titled, and it evokes a feeling of ending in me, too. I can see why you picked it.
