Pre-Owned

I've looked at this several times and can't decide if the problem is the color or the image is slightly out of focus. A closer look at one aspect of this wreck or maybe a broader look would have been better. Certainly a little sharper focus would have helped.

Steet Art

Ach - six times I've looked at this image - I like it, then I don't like it. The sepia looks good, then it doesn't. Detail is outstanding, the composition is good - maybe it's the fact that street art is usually colorful and bold and this isn't. I can't explain it. So having said that, error on the side of the author I always say.

Simple, elegant, the image and title match nicely - I like it.

A few loose screws
by MarioPierre

Comment:
Too much white, too busy a foreground, not enough detail on the snow boarder. Could have used a little more thought in composing the image or a longer lens to pickup the detail of the subject. Color might have worked better here.

A commercial quality photograph. I like the detail and there is an interesting gray tone to the top roll that is kind of appealing. Not sure how it works as a euphemism, but hey - it looks good and that counts for something.

Swanning Around
by nickyb

Comment:
Sometimes the little things attract the eye and detract from the overall impact of the imagery. This is beautiful, but incomplete - meaning that the tail of the swan is cutoff and that disturbs the overall impact of the image. Other than that, it is simply gorgeous and technically perfect.

"Meet Your Maker"
by nstevens85

Comment:
If the author was going for an unsettling image, it makes it's point. I like the technique and I like the way the image was composed - I don't like the concept. Just being honest. I'm not anti-gun - quite the opposite in fact, but I am a combat veteran (Vietnam '67/'69) and "meeting your maker" has a meaning to me that isn't pleasant. But evaluation depends on more than just a dislike for the title - technically, it is a good image - I like the use of bokeh.

Took me three tries, but I finally got the idea - D'Oh!! I like it. There are a couple of little odd technical things like the greens are a little - well greener than one would expect. That may be a function of the blue car - can't tell for sure. A good solid entry.

Exertion
by HOOMAN

Comment:
I know where the author was going with this in particular with the large black background in trying to emulate dark mines and the effort of pushing a carrier, etc. I don't think it quite pulls it off though - maybe a little more lighting would have helped or softer highlights would have been better - I can't say for sure. However, the image matches the title so that's a plus. Could have used a little more thought in terms of composition.

Very amusing - clever idea. There are a whole list of interesting concepts here and even though the image isn't perfect, the composition is nothing short of brilliant. Just take a look at the imagery and you'll see what I mean. Most excellent. Well done.
