Lindsay Olive - A Tradition of Quality

Nice setup. I think the lighting is a little flat in this shot though. Some front or side lighting might add some warmth to this shot and make it more appetizing.

Ha ha ha! Do these work for getting rid of photographer's block?
Great idea, but that out of focus thing in the background is kind of distracting.

New Theme Park in Town

I don't think this would convince me to go to this place. A dark, gloomy theme park doesn't seem like much fun to me.

The World's Best Tasting Vodka
by xcharrier

Comment:
Good idea, but in my opinion there are a couple of things that would improve this shot. First I think the slightly tilted camera makes this look funny- I would rather see the bottle and glass vertical. Second, for an advertisement shot, I think a little highlighting of the name on the bottle is appropriate. The "grey" and the "vodka" sort of blend into the bottle and are hard to read.

Style... Timeless

I think this would work better as an advertisement if the DOF were larger to get the entire watch in focus and the fingers holding the watch weren't in the picture.

Very nice. I like this one, but I can't come up with any specific reasons why it appeals to me, it just does. Maybe it is the cropping/framing- and the anonymity of not seeing the faces of the guys pulling the carts.

Extraordinary Color

The color is very nice. I would prefer a larger depth of field to get all of the petals in focus instead of just a part of each one.

I like the lighting on this. Great color as well.

Towards Nirvana (An Extraordinary Goal)
by librodo

Comment:
Great portrait! I like the halo of light around the monk and the darkness around the edges. I don't care for your title- at least the parenthetical part. The title makes it seem like you are either trying to shoehorn the image into this challenge, or you think we need help figuring out how it meets the challenge. Either way makes me want to score it lower than I otherwise would have. Would you have included "(An Extraordinary Goal)" if this weren't for DPChallenge or weren't for an extraordinary challenge? If not, shame on you for for pandering to the masses and not following your own artistic vision!

I think a different angle to remove the bright background would help improve this shot.
