I'm torn on the processing for this one. My initial reaction was that I liked it, and I usually go with that, but very quickly afterwards when looking at this I began to think I didn't like the amount of white across the top.

You have managed to capture an "old fashioned" look here, which I believe is what you are going for, but I just can't make up my mind if I like it or not. I'm going to give this a 6 for now, but I may come back and alter that in either direction depending how this one settles with me!

Came back to say that I've upped this to a 7 vote, I think this is a touch bright on screen but would look great on print.

I almost didn't spot the boy in the image there, he blended in nicely with the billboard.

This is a great street shot, love the fact that the boy seems to be wanting to join in with their celebration, perhaps dreaming one day of being there with them!

WOW, green water! You have some weird oversaturaged reflections going on there.

The landscape shot is nice enough, but I can't stop myself looking at the GREEN water!

Nice model shot with an interesting background. Unfortunately she's glowing, and I don't mean that in a "great skin tones" kind of way. There's an aura all around her from the processing, feels kinda like you finished work on the model and then didn't bother with the background.

I'll give this a 6 overall, few points knocked off for the glowing girl!

What a great unusual shot, I would love to see more of this. The lines are wondeful and they lead you nicely down into the shot.

If I lived near landscapes like this I would be there all the time trying to get shots just like this!

Nice calendar style shot. Good colours and composition. Perhaps just a touch oversaturated in the sky for me.

Nice model shot, great hair!!!

The contrast of the glamor model and abandoned background is good, and the kind of thing you see a lot in fashion magazines just now.

I'm giving this an 8, and that's only because there's something that isn't quite sitting right with me, I'm not sure entirely what it is, but I just don't feel strongly enough about the shot to give it higher.

Great unusual portrait, my immediate thought was IRISH! Love the colours and detail. Whatever that is in the background is a bit distracting though.

Wonderful landscape shot with great processing. The tree and the plants almost seem to be glowing, yet neither seems overdone. Love the way the clouds seem to be rolling over the mountains, and the sand / rock off to the left of the frame has great patterns in it. This has got to be HDR to have such a good range of exposure!

I would come here just to sit and look at this place if I lived near it!

I was looking at that thinking, "is it a rock, is it some sort of weird alien object, why is it triangular..." and then I read the title and figured it all out.

It's a very centered composition, and while the pier off to the left and the people way in the distance help it slightly, I still feel it looks a bit "snapshottish".
