Tranquil Sea

The powerful ness of the dark hills and foreground is lost slightly by the lit bush in the bottom right corner - perhaps if your going to print wash that bush out to black first (I realise you can't do that for the challenge). Otherwise a good photo.

Nice photo. It looks like it was a little hazy when you took the photo, and the shadows on the ground are a shame - although with the time constraints of the challenge these issues can be understood. You composition is nice, the border is nice and simple, and the focus is quite good. Well done.

Walk of Beauty

This is the first "stunning" photo I've voted on so far. It's such a simple photo, yet is says so much. The road/path is composed perfectly, the trees on the left are perfect and putting the horizon centered all work well. The colours are also lovely and natural, which suit the subject.

Landscape from my deck through a hole in the trees.

I'm jealous of your deck - what a lovely view. The framing of the trees is very good. You could have cropped some of the top of the image perhaps - although I'm not sure I can find a good height to stop at. The trees in the foreground are a little dark, but only a little. Finally, if you plan on making a print I think there are filters which could smooth the sky out a little. Still a great photo though.

A Winter Day in Kentucky

It's a nice enough photo, however the horse steals the show a little. The composition and framing is good - perhaps a little more of the leftmost tree could be left in shot. The colours are very natural and easy to look at. Well done.

Windswept Tree

Comment:
Your composition and framing is very good - especially having the tree on the right edge given the way it is wind blown. The photo looks just marginally out of focus - perhaps a tiny bit of camera shake. The border suits the image well.

Nice photo. The reflections on the lens from the sun are a (small) shame - Perhaps you could shade the lens (or even buy a lens hood depending on the camera). The river and valley lends itself to a portrait orientation - well done. Finally, the ground appears purple on the almost-bottom right - is this a camera glitch or something growing on the ground?

The Hill In Infrared
by Davenit

Comment:
Very moody photo - especially with the black looking clouds in the sky. It looks like a potential scene for a Tim Burton movie. My only negative comment is that perhaps the black at the bottom is too much - I think the photo could have been very effective if cropped at the bottom of the whitish hill (or even taken from a closer point). Good work

I like the aspect ratio of this photo, and I love the contrast between the rust and the green. The tank is quite well focused, and the border works well (especially given the sky is virtually white). Good work.

A Parrot Heads Delight

Comment:
The focus is very good, and the shallow depth of field works to your advantage (you can see where the photo is, but the main subject is very obvious). The shadow on the burger is a little distracting though and makes it rather dark. Framing is good although the border is perhaps a little unnecessary - the photo is strong without it (perhaps a single blue line would be better - no white).
