This is a really great effect. I think it would have done uber better in the center challenge. I don't see a clear pattern.. but it is a fantastical image.

Byzantines' Patterns

Normaly I don't care for b/w's that much. However this one gives me a nice feeling. Laying in that Roman arena with the lion stalking me ever so slowly. Nice image.

This is fairly cute image. I would have liked a more consistant lighting. But its nice.

This is a pretty fun pattern. I think it would look better rotated 90degrees counter clock wise. Maybe also a bit more push on the colour... not much just a touch.

The Light Bends

This is a nice idea. however, the lack of sharper focus away from the great bright ball in sky is a let down. I would have liked to see focusin a different area.

I really like this image for some bizzar reason. I think it works rather well.

Frozen Asymmetry

Nice image. however, I feel the dark right side stands out much much better than the blown out left. Also the dof is ruff on my eyes here.

Patterns in water and shadow

Interesting idea. Personaly I would have liked to see a tighter crop to not show anything outside the fountain. Also, it appears to have a neat image feel and usm that just doesn't work for me. But it is a very creative Idea. Also the shadow of the side wall into the fountain distracts. Think of what this would look like at a differnt time of day with the shadows of the water and no others...

Simple, elegant, but for me personaly I would have liked a more dramatic angle.
