Nice texture, beautiful colors. I like the flowing lines.

This was my favorite image in this challenge. It perfectly captures the experience of a first cup of tea on a cold morning. 9.

The one shot that best meets the challenge, in my opinion.

Storm

Beautiful light, and not the average sunset, but much more nteresting this way. Top shot!

Nice mood, very pleasing shot (although technically far from perfect)

Area 21

Comment:
Great shot, very nice sky. But why put the horizon level with the barbed wire like this? Just a few inches lower viewpoint would have put it against the sky, and this would have giveit much mo impact, I think.

sheltering From the wind

Great shot, depicting the harshness of winter perfectly. Could have been my #1 shot, but the blotchy dodging/burning (most visible in the thumbnail) puts me off.

Swallow (PAW 7/52)
by HarveyG

Comment:
Let me tell you what I like, and I think it's all there deliberately: I like how the bird has room to look into, how the stick is about one third from the right, how the darker area top left balances the bird at right, the catchlight, the focus, the processing which looks a little more relaxed, the iridescent glow of the feathers, the scruffy look from a bird well into the summer season. Lots more than JABS.

In and Around Balboa Park Week 6 - Allex

Beautiful lens for a portrait, and well focused. Can't be more than few mm DoF, but is exatcly where it needs to be and works beautfully to focus the attention to the eyes, to bring the rest of tha face and hands together yet to separate the background, also helped by the different color.

Interesting angle to take a natural shot like this - you must have been sitting in a stroller and pass by unnoticed ;-). The lines of sight for the 3 guys nicely bring together the three boys, and the contrast between the thin faces in the background and the round face of the filmer separates them again. I like the overall result quite a bit.
