90 degrees latitude

I love it. The globe is interesting on it's own, but I like how it's set against the background of blues, greens, and browns - remininscent of the earth when viewed from space. Very nice indeed. IN my top 10 for the week. 9, just-married

Nicely done. You can actually see the BODY of the bug - that's uncommon in butterfly shots. The colors are great, and your DOF is really nice too. In my top ten for the week. 9, just-married

Milk Chocolate in Bloom
by Paige

Comment:
Very nice. I love the framing sirst and foremost. The chocolate decision really works for you here. Sets this photo apart from other flower macros; makes you appreciate things in the photo other than a pretty flower. Your DOF is great; really defines the flower versus the background even though their colors are similar. The texture, the softness of the flower is wonderful and the crown adds a good point of interest for the eye. In my top 5 for the week. 10, just-married

A Tricky Treat

The background color selection here is a good one, somehow it makes me feel all antiseptic and creepy - makes me imagine the environment where a creep might actually DO something like this. I wish though that the apple were "just-cut fresh"; I guess you worked with it for a little while. For me the dulled white is too close to the color of the background. Also, I think it would be more effective if the focus here were RAZOR sharp. 5, just-married

Fall From Grace

Everything about the composition of this works for me except the placement of the paper. It doesn't seem placed in such a way that he can be reading it. I thought at first that maybe it was the front page of an open newspaper, but that doesn't appear to be the case. The emotion of what you've depicted is well-represented in his expression and body-language. The thing that most damages my ability to appreciate the photo is the pixellation. There is the school of thought that at times pixellation adds something to the nitty-gritty nature of a photo, but it's a school of thought I have a hard time relating to. Just passing this on so you'll know there are people who probably feel it's beneficial and those who feel it's detrimental. THat said, if it wasn't intentional, you may have been able to avoid SOME pixellation by not compressing so much. Your image can be up to 150K. Take what you can use, disregard the rest, 6, just-married

Aftermath

The power of your message and what you've depicted here are really strong. I hope the shot is set up and not something you just had the opportunity to capture. The composition is good. I like the "back against a wall" element. THe focus and the listing are what prevent me from scoring this higher. THe focus seems to be on the texture of the wall rather than her face. Not sure if your camera lets you control the focal point or if it has to be center-weighted, but thought I'd explain my impressions. 6, just-married

The Making of Lust,Greed and Envy in a Pop Culture Society

I think this photo is much stronger with the couch at the bottom cropped out. I know that means the dimensions don't work for dpc, but in general, that's my 2 cents. Good statement. 6, just-married

Pride to some, Greed & Wrath to others

Well, I for one think all three. And I take it as pride in the sinful sense, not the I'm proud of my country sense. </me edits all her political opinions out of your comment. :-)> 6, just-married
