Blue at F32
by scab-lab

Comment:
Great macro! If this really is F/32 then it must be super macro because the DOF is very narrow. I like the clarity in the water drops and the overall colour. However, I think the red part could have been placed a bit better, because it looks a bit crowded into the corner. -stephan

A Melancholy Song
by indigo997

Comment:
Wow! This looks very professional. The lighting is great. Somehow it looks to me as if you shot the photo underwater. The girl looks a bit out of this world with the wings. You fulfilled the challenge perfectly because the whole look of the photo seems to convey blue. Some parts of the photo seem to be a bit out of focus (guess it's motion blur because she moved a bit) but this does not harm the photo. Actually it adds to the "out of this world" (heavenly?) look. Only nitpick is the cropped end of the instrument (a mandolin?) but even with that this photo is one of my favourites this week. -stephan

Bubbles
by JamieWillmott

Comment:
I like this photo. Very nice how you captured the bubbles. It also fits the challenge very well because water is one of the things people associate with the colour blue first. In my opinion the focus could be a bit better, especially the lower half looks a bit soft. -stephan

Royal Blue

Comment:
Nice conecpt! You used the contrast of the colours very well. Unfortunately some parts of the stamp (e.g. upper right corner) are a bit out of foucs. Also the red stamp on the upper edge of the photo seems to have a lot of grain. However, I like the photo very much because of the way how you emphasised the blue colour by putting it on the red background. -stephan

Christmas Time - Town Square Gets Festive

You must live in the southern hemisphere. I envy you for that blue sky and the sun *sniff* ;-) A well done photo. I like the angle and the placement of the objects. -stephan

Santa & the sun spotted in Manchester
by Paulk

Comment:
Nice photo! Looks a bit surreal the old church (?) with the funny santa claus on the roof :-) You had good lighting conditions and the clear blue sky looks nice as the contrast to the red santa. I think the composition could be better. The spire cuts the photo into two halves. The right half contains the actual subject and is interesting. But the left half is a bit wasted because it adds nothing to the photo. I would have tried to move some steps to the right and also a bit nearer. -stephan

Crossing Guard Caught Sleeping! Are Your Children Safe?
by Anachronite

Comment:
Very candid! I like it a lot. But somehow it looks unbalanced and as if the guard falls out of the frame in the next second. I know it may sound silly, but that's my impression when I look at it. It's probably because of the angle. -stephan

My brother (nds) asked me to tell you that he's out of town until wednesday and won't be able to thank you personally. He'll do that as soon as he arrives. But I think I don't say something wrong when telling you that he's very very happy :-)

Nice picture of someone elses art... no, no just kidding ;-) Great composition! I also like the colour tone. A bit overexposed, because the propellers disappear in the sky and the "nose" of the plane loses its edges. -stephan
