Tulips during Night

I think these tulips could have looked so much more interesting with "night light" on them instead of flash. Turn the flash off and go for a long exposure and see what you think.

Cool. Love the color in the sky, the lighting on the top of the temple, the starburst effect down below. Well done! :-)

A gorgeous portrait. I love the lighting and the pose. My only nitpick is the right side of the frame being cropped too tight. Otherwise, very nicely done!

I just know that I've seen this rock formation somewhere before, just wish I would have shot this angle. GOOD LUCK! :-)

Loved this image during the challenge and love going back to it time and time again. The beautiful eyes and lips, the soft skin, a perfect image of a very lovely lady.

Wow, lovely portrait! Love the foreground, the background, the shallow DOF, the colors. And, has anyone said how gorgeous she is? Please pass along my compliments. :-)

My Dad's Toy

Comment:
I like this one a lot. I think only two improvements would be in:

1) Move the train just slightly to the left. The out-of-focus bit that is just to the top-right of the train keeps distracting me. Don't get me wrong, I *like* it there - the OOF parts really help focus your attention on the train. I just think that one piece is a little too close to the train.

2) The bit of red in the image lacks explanation... it's there, but why? Probably best to physically move it out of the frame, or else clone it out in post.

The Slide Rule
by BakerBug

Comment:
Feels like it could have been sharper. I wonder if, rather than a "product shot", something more along the lines of an old man USING the slide rule might have made it more interesting? (i.e. tell a story, don't just present the slide rule as an image)
