Greetings from the Comment Bomb Squad!

I am just going through your portfolio stopping at some images that move me. I love shots of doors and your shot provides a wonderful mood with an excellent composition!

The lines leading to the door create a great focal point including the steps, the top of the kneewall next to the steps leading down, and the break in the wall exposing the block underneath leading up to the door. The color and tones combined with the textures of the masonry work and the diffuse, low contrast light work together to create a moody portrait of a lovely scene. The pop of color really helps to set the door off as the focal point.

Because this was entered in a color challenge, I am sure the DPC voters were expecting shiny, happy colors. However, this moody door shot scores high in my book!

Nice angle on this great American Muscle car. I am seeing some very wierd green fringe on various places in this shot. The trees, under the license plate, on the corner of the bumper, the top of the windshield, in the shadow on the left under the car and along the curb. If it was just in the trees, I could say it was chromatic aberation, but it's everywhere. Is this a result of you desaturating and changing the tone on one of the color channels? Yellow Channel perhaps?

Nice and crisp, bright light. I like the texture on the snow at the street side. I am noticing the electric poles and the roofline of the house in the background has some very strange outline around them. I an not sure what this phenomenon is...

Something is very off with the highlights and color on the top of the snow.

Just wanted to drop you a note on one of my favorite shots from your portfolio.

I love the look of this with it's crisp and sharp HDR content bringing out all the lights and shadows to make the scene much more evenly lit. I think the detail is phenomenal and and I love all the lines and textures throughout! Wonderful subject and a great shot!

Greeting from the Comment Bomb Squad

I am just going through some of your photo's to find some with few comments to give you some more feedback.

Here I find a shot that meets the challenge well enough however the amount of color given off by the small subject in such a large backdrop doesn't give off that real burst. The use of such a large aperture didn't leave much else to look at in the shot with the entire background being out of focus a bit too much. I would agree with the first commenter below, using a landscape orientation, putting the beach line on te top third line and the berries in the bottom left intersection of the third lines would have given more impact.

A very nice family photo concept. I think this shot is lacking highlights and shadows leaving it feeling as if it has no depth. It needs to have the exposure bumped up a tad. The black background looks like it was pasted in, leaving the man holding the frame looking 2 dimensional.

Nice diffuse shadows, though a little high in the contrast. I think the red color of the wagon is different in the photo. To give it that extra edge, the color should be more uniform throughout. A very cute pet portrait!
