Grapes of Bath

I liked this shot during the challenge but a couple of elements didn't work for me. While I liked the lighting and the glow from under the duck/water, the out of focus/flarey nature of the bottom blue frame was distracting for me. I liked your choice for DoF but found the actual focal point hard to find because of the smooth surfaces -- the red might have been the culprit here, maybe the duck head just seems fuzzy to me because of the lighting. I didn't love the crop or the composition - centered shot, duck centered in bowl/frame.

I voted this a five - a pretty high score for this challenge from me.

Thanks for all the kind comments! I had high hopes for this one, and it didn't disappoint. No, I didn't paint my cat as one thread suggested. =]

this is my favorite of your "tipping" shots. i love the creepy angles and gritty texture. i notice everything seems in focus, were you using a tilt/shift? i could also be seeing things. :)

interesting shot - you've taken a location i've seen way too many times and made it feel different and special. like the angles and sepia a lot.

not my favorite of the "tipping buildings" series - the others are "off" and it brings something to the shots, but here the "offness" doesn't work for me.

nice capture - must have been pretty early - no people! love the odd angles/wide lens.

i don't love the crop here - i'd hope to not have the angels wing cut off - makes me wonder what the primary subject is.

nice postcard shot! my only complaint would be there seem to be odd greenish casts to 30 Rock and the inside of the horns on my monitor - takes away from the warmth of that location for me.

It's interesting, but I'm not a huge fan of selective desaturation. The DoF seems surprisingly shallow for f/5.0, and IMO, this shot could use a deeper DoF - at least to the fur immediately above the eye. The composition feels off to me, maybe the crop could be tighter? Cute cat.

i like the isolation of the subject, but feel it would have worked better in color.
