Doll House

Comment:
It's a completely lovely house on a copletely lovely lot, photographed on a completely lovely day. It makes me want to live there. Yet, as a photograph it feels just a bit cluttered and a bit static to me. Maybe it is all the barren trees or the straight-on view.

Exclusive Spy Photo! Cheddar Cow Captured!
by C_Steve_G

Comment:
I believe you mean "Cheddar Cow Spotted." It's a nice enough photo except that the gray weeds look really out of place. Under advanced editing, I believe one might be able to clone out the worst of them. Same for the white spot on the cow's neck. Cows and minimalism seem to go well together, and this is one more good example.

Dog of the Wet Variety

Hate to butt in, but I wonder if I would get a shaggy dog story if I asked why we are not treated to the more congenial end of the creature?

Industrial Water

How did you get that gull to pose for you?
It's rare to find a photo that so craftily juxtaposes the ugliness of moldering industrial structures and the beauty of the natural process that are reducing them to ruin. Very nice job.

Turning it upside-down created quite a strong and unexpected effect.

1966: Year of the Electric Miter Saw
by hsteg

Comment:
I think this is among the better miter saw photos I've ever seen. I like the black background and the faming of the subject. I like the details in the surface of the saw. I do not, however, understand the connection with the challenge.

1916 - The Age Of Steam
by TheresaA

Comment:
The age of steam and transformers. I find the subject to be very photogenic. And I like the way the lines lead the eye across the photo. The palm trees add interest and so does the platform. Those curious standards on the sidewalk I find distracting. And I wish, somehow, that I could see some of the details in the dark black shadowy areas - though I do understand why this was simply impossible.
