odd. but VERY effective - with the colors being so strange, it becomes and abstract pattern focused around the guy -

uh oh - monitor calibration issues here - I don't see any texture in the background at all. Good thing I never vote from the laptop. I'm wondering if many others see only white in the background as well. Might explain the poor showing of a nice image.

Nice composition, interesting DOF, drab colors, needs something more to give it some punch and make it not boring - maybe saturate the color of the stamens and make them compete with the in focus petal for the center of attention. maybe lighten up the green of the background? Make it more high key? What about converting to black and white?

Do we have a winner? This photo is classic - talk about leading lines - the smoke trail goes up and back down and straight at us - rule of thirds - contast of textures: smoke, sky, plane - soft background, sharp object - sepia tone to match the era that the plane is from. Yep, it's just perfect in every way- 10 of course.

This is great - Although the car is probably standing still, it looks like the photo was shot from the window of a passing car - gives it a fleeting feeling as if the old car is driving back into the past. Because it is facing left and we have a right to left mindset, the illusion that it is going back in time is enhanced,,
