Under the tripod
by movieman

Comment:
Nice colors and shapes. Definitely an unusual viewpoint. Make it better by: a) More area in focus, b) Way less compression in post shoot processing - use more of the 150k limit (this is just 46k) to prevent the "banding" as the color changes.

Definitely an unusual viewpoint. Nice backlighting, good colors. Frog a bit mysterious but that's ok. Composition violates a rule or two, but it works very well - one time to toss out the rules.

Ususual viewpoint - yes. Interesting - yes. Make it better by: a) Not centering the main subject b) Remove that bright and distracting white area on the left edge.

Any Mail Today?

Comment:
Excellent viewpoint! Too bad the mail is bills! Great exposure - nice lighting on the face yet some detail on the inside of the "mailbox." DoF handled perfectly. My only complaint is that white sky - but that is offset a bit by the white in the envelopes. Still an excellent and very ORIGINAL submission.

Excellent lighting on an exceptional scene - perfect time of day. As far as an "unusual viewpoint" - don't think so.

Nice choice of viewpont - composition is the strong part of this image. Colors ok - but could be a bit more vibrant. Lots of compression or other noise, especially in the yellow and orange. Still a submission that should do well.

Nice colors and "feel" to the water - the ripples are a treat.

From Behind the Falls
by alanfreed

Comment:
Gee - doesn't everyone get behind a waterfall every day? DEFINITELY an unusual viewpoint - nice find. Your use of a tripod (I assume) and perhaps an ND filter to slow the shutter and capture the velvet look to the water is great. Sky a teeny bit hot - and the halo around the top of the waterfall looks a bit unnatural. Overall an excellent submission.

Springtime in the High Country - Mt. Princeton Road to Hancock

Comment:
I assume this is a snowbridge - which s certainly an unusual viewpoint. Very difficult to read - probably too great a light variance to hle both the highlights and the shadows. The diagonal placement is a bit unnerving to me.

Neat idea and extremely well done! Great composition and exposure. I usually like to make a suggestion for improvement, but there absolutely nothing I would suggest. Congrats on meetung the challenge in an artistic and techically correct way!
