The shot is strong because of the close up of the fist fills the frame well however the shot is severely lacking contrast and is very grainy. The grainy is OK because it could be to convey a mood.

Fun to see the long exposure, however the only thing that looks exposed well is the date on the clock face, everything else is to hot or too dark. It looks like you worked hard to save it in post.

Awaken The Writer In You

This is just a classy shot with great lighting, color and sharpness. You did great with the diffuse lighting along the barrel of the pen. Only possible critique which is just a personal preference is perhaps shoot with a smaller aperture to broaden the depth of field and show the entire pen in focus. But I just want to see another shot to choose which is better. It doesn't really affect the vote here.

Nice panorama... The composition is strong with the triangle shape. The textures in the sand and rock stand out real well and the clouds just add that dramatic feel! Love it!

Well now I see what's happening. And now I really see the humor in this... New dad passed out on the floor due to the entrance of his new child!! What the heck did the nurse say when you got on the floor to take a picture under the table?? I see that is her shoe now. Too funny! The context helped a lot! Congrats to you and your family!

Very underrated in my opinion... perhaps it was lacking a little saturation or contrast. I gave it a 7!

A very respectable top ten finish on this! I like your work with the XSi. Do you process your raw in DPP and then go to photoshop? Also to speak to one of the comments regarding sharpness, did you adjust the sharpness in camera settings or just use the default setting of 3 and sharpen afterwards?

Check-out but never leave...

Very macabre photo! The smoke adds great effect giving the sense that something of a spirit nature is leaving.
