bamboo and marbles

Excellent - great interaction between the roots and the marbles. Nice colors. I think it would be much better without the (dirty) metal pan at the base.

Great intrepretation and presentation. The transition from green to dried is marvelous. The white background is perfect as is exposure. I really like the leaves that have shadows - maybe stronger side-lighting would have applified the shadows, making it even stronger. One of my top picks so far.

Stunning! The lighting and glow in the center is awesome. (Even if it is post processing.) Subtle pastel colors are exceptional. Focus = perfect. I've just started voting - but so far this is one its way to ribbonsville.

Not Another Railway Track Photo....

Comment:
No, not just not another railway track photo at all! It's one that is unique, creative and artistic. The glowing colors are very magical. The platform next to the rails is a vanishing point without the rails. Well seen and shot.

Vanishing Chords

The black background makes the subtle colors really zing. I'd like to see the first fret area in the foreground in focus. The diagonal placement is very effective and creative.

A great idea - definitely leads to a vanishing point. There's a lot of wasted space in the sky - but cropping it to a square image actually makes it stronger. Crop just higher than the tallest building. That way the vanishing point is at a crashpoint. Exposure is right on - and the star flares from the lights are great.

Sorry, I really want to judge this image - it has some nice colors. But it is just to small to tell. It seems a bit blurry - even in theis small version.

Love of Strings

Comment:
You have a unique take on the popular string theme. The moving strings add some nice lines. Even with the movement, I'd like to see more in focus.

Very interesting technique, I like the old-time feel.

Prarie Sunset

The orange colors are stunning - and the vanishing point is superb. Suggestions for improvement: a) Crop off about 1/2 (or more) of the black area at the bottom. b) Save it less compressed so that you don't have the wavy area in the orange sky. (You are allowed 150k - and you used les that 70k.)

It's a really nice submission - very graphic and effective.
