This is great! I love your take on the challenge theme. I don't know if you rotated on purpose to lose something in the image upper left, or if you did it intentionally to add a unique feel to the photo. Either way it works. B/W is the best choice here as the green in the background trees would have been distracting. Very nice. Good luck in the challenge.

Drinking Fountain

Ok - I needed a title here to figure out what it is. That's fine, it's a great image. Funky looking drinking fountain. This has a bit of an abstract feel to it and you've done a great job in composing it! The falling water drops add a sense of movement and give you a sense of being there. Hope you didn't get your camera wet! ;^) Congrats and good luck on the challenge.

Congratulations on finding a unique perspective for this challenge. By incorporating the grass (sand dunes I take it) you've identified ground level. The sun coming thru below the grassline is very cool, I like the starburst. Nice use of angles to offset the blue - focus really isn't a major issue with an image like this - exposure & lighting are very good. Good luck on the challenge.

This was a clever idea. It's composed well for the challenge. Might have gone over a little stronger taking this photo at a different time of day when the lighting wasn't so harsh. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice, but the sky looks purple?

Light and Shell

I like this, however, I like your outtake better. The outtake IMO is more natural (orientation of the shell) and a bit brighter. Plus I like the appearance of sand in the outtake. The lighting on your entry is low and leaves the top back side of the shell a little dark.

The concept is wonderful and I think you have a winning idea here that could do well in print sales. Keep up the good work!

This is VERY nice. The composition is great, the lighting is good, and I really like the texture (sand imitation) to the left. Minor drawback is the lighting probably would have garnered a few "too hot" comments. It's borderline on the extreme left on being overexposed. JMO of course. ;^)

I'm still thinking about whether I like it or not...

The composition is good, I like the camera level at which it was taken. There are natural leading lines here with the bridge and road - takes me to ???. Ahh...the light. I SEE the light! ;^)

This works well in B/W - probably better than color. Sepia might be interesting also. Did I mention the image is a bit "hot", maybe a bit overexposed? He-he.

Ok, ok...I like it. The extreme exposure in this case works very well. Job well done.

Smile and keep having fun!!!

This is nice. A very interesting image to look at. Detail inside the blocks is good and the tonal range for the whole image is good. Two things I find distracting and I don't have any good suggestions for a fix: 1) The area between the panes appear oversharpened - a little jaggy. It could be the resizing done for forum posting. 2) Cropping. This image is a tough one to "draw the line". Personally, it feels a bit tight on the sides (maybe a black border would help it breath a little. If it was mine I might also crop at the bottom to take out the partial block row as it doesn't balance with the top of the image.

Good eye to see this and capture it. Well done.

Ok, you're having TOO much fun! This works well also, although I like the composition of the other one a little more because it's more unique with the feather's shadow and diagonal line. Well done!
