The simplicity of this shot is compelling. I can't believe I'm giving it such a high score for such a mundane subject. It just goes to show, that the mundane in the hands of an artist, can become art. Good job!

Delicate Luminescence: the 100mm Macro Does the North American Nebula

While this is extremely impressive in what you've accomplished, it really isn't all that "pretty" to me. And I must confess... going thru the images in this challenge, I think I've been voting on beauty more than technique. Just thought I'd explain why I voted a low score. (still gave it a 4 because I felt it at least met the challenge even though I don't care for it)

Later thought: I wonder if this image actually looks better "full size" than it does down in these cramped dimensions?

Beautiful... I don't know if this is a traditional face art kind of thing, or something set up merely for this challenge. But the idea is splendid and was carried out with great success. Good luck in the challenge!

Congrats, on another 6+ image... nicely done.

And talk about brave.... taking a camera down to a nudist beach! Your cropping and angles worked out great.

I think this would have been an awesome picture if only the girl's face were more in focus. Two possibilities here: 1) the camera focused on the wall (see how it is sharper?), or 2) you might have been too close to the girl and so you couldn't get a focus on her and the wall was the best the lens could get.

I love this ... how the top portion "begs" for you to go looking at the bottom. And how, looking carefully at the bottom, you can find all of the answers to the questions posed by the top. Wonderfully done... should have scored much higher!

Wow, love the powerful angled composition in this one which is complemented well by the umbrella.

Excellent lighting and looks like a longish exposure judging by the length of the rain drops. Nicely done!
