Normandie Bridge

Nice. I like the sharp focus all the way thru. Nice lines lead you thru the bridge. Nice color. Probably didn't have much time to capture exactly when the truck was in the image (because it appears this was taken while driving across) but would've been better to have the truck further in to the frame coming at you rather that in the corner leading out. Over all very nice.

I like the attempt of your composition and p-erspective however it is too much out of focus which detracts from it. Nothing to focus on with the exception of the red string which keeps drawing my eye to it.

Nicely done Karen! I like very much the way the 3 dominant colors work together (green of the grass, blue of the sky and water and white of the dress). Well balanced. I love the way the girl's skin color plays against the pure white of the dress.

Love her pose; young girl evokes playfulness and inocence.

You perfectly captured the beauty and the innocence of this child! Love the soft lighting. The color of the dress compliments the eyes. The only other picture I can recall that captured me with eyes was the Afghanistan girl on the cover of National Geographic some years ago.

Congrats on your ribbon. This was my pick of the challenge. I am a huge mystery fan - movies and novels - so it is easy to see why I liked this. ;-)

put out the candle

Nice idea behind this. It looks as if the shadow is supposed to be blowing at the candle (don't know if this was the intention). I know this was time challenge but perhaps if the candle flickered or was blown out with smoke trailing.

I changed my rating a little higher after looking at this again. I paid more attention to the compposition and I liked the way the shadow mimics the the tallness of the trees in the photo.

I really like the thought behind this one. Wish the shadow itself was a little more pronounced. Gave me a chuckle; clever.
