Spring Storm Over El Capitan

Such a wonderful capture, would have really preferred this in colour and the B&W does not work for me, unless you had some major Ansel Adams processing with more contrast. Good Luck. 6.

Nice capture but the processing is very poor (other than the eye...nice job there). I struggle with lion shots as well espeically with the bleaching that occurs around the mouth and chest. The forced effor to narrow the DoF is poor especially between the chin and right hind leg and around the face and backside. Focus on the subject is great. If the image only had some minor adjustments to the curves (contrast), sharpness and tweaking of the eye, this could be a 6-8, but with the result I have to give it a 5. Good Luck. 5.

Great angle and silhouette, however looks like you have water spots (understandible) or light spots on the subject which is too bad. It would have been nice to seen a slightly different angle/cropping with the subject on the right third of the image with more open water to her left. Good Luck. 5.

Great expression and focus. Eyes definitely tell a story. Nice lighting and focus. Well done. Good Luck. 8.

A Calm November Morning

Image leans to the right which is distracting. Would have tried to change the angle to use thirds and have the duck on the right side of the image rather than smack dab in the middle. Good Luck. 4.

Sorry, but I do not like the image. focus is weak, composition is poor. Definitely going to get hurt in this challenge. Good Luck. 2.

Nice perspetive and angle. Wuold have been interesting to desaturate the vehicle and keep the background in colour or other options. Nice focus. Might have tweaked the contrast a little more for some additional depth. Good Luck. 7.

Definitely a perspective that not many of us can have. Good Luck. 6.

Very different perspective, unforetunately the narrow DoF does not work for me. Would have preferred more depth and focus with the same cropping as eyes can play such a huge role in peoples voting. Good Luck. 4.

Absolutely love the foreground...the sky is a little over the top in processing, but still lovely colours. Good Luck. 7.
