Tall Grass
by Nusbaum

Comment:
Whether intentional or not, I appreciate the soft focus here. I think the left side of the photo is begging to be cropped about 5% to remove that last piece of grass...I could be wrong though.

Nice, warm photo...7

High and Dry

There is too much foreground in front of the subject for my taste...but then again, where else would I expect to find the foreground... ;0) If the bottom 40% was cropped off I'd be much happier with that...

The boat looks like it should be a true white, but there's not enough contrast so it seems gray and bland. Neat subject, though!

Forgotten

I like the idea, title, and composition but that bike just looks too darn new and fresh to have that 'forgotten' look. I know I'm being picky, but only because the right subject would have earned this an 8. As is, I'll score it a 6 because that bike is just too uninteresting. It also seems a little overexposed...

Great work! What an imaginative depiction of Impressionism! I really hope this wins...

I only wish that the paintbrush and hand were lit/positioned slightly differently, but that won't stop me from handing out the first (and likely only) 9 for this challenge...

Ohhh...this is the first time I've wanted a print of a dpc photo! To have this hanging on my wall (with the words "beautiful girl" visible on the hat) would be great...

Seems tilted to the left a bit...but I'm kinda crooked-headed so maybe it's just me.

More importantly, this is an incredible photograph!! I would be extremely proud if I had taken this photo...good choice with the black and white!

Underrated. Great photo...gave it an 8.

Neat...I photographed this lock itself. It was a dreary day and the reflections didn't look nearly as beautiful as you've captured them. Very nice! It looks neat 'flipped'...like the sky is ripply!

I really like this...well done! This photo suffers from the same 'white sky' as many of my October photos which is a bit distracting but in some wise provides some contrast to the nice, warm impression of the blurred leaves.

Great addition to the autumn collection!
