Love this image. The red is a little on the pink side for me but this is compensated for by strong composition. Wish thouse drips weren't there! 9 from me - good luck!

If the left side of the image could have been lightened just a hair this image would have scored higher. This darkness hides details I would have loved to see. I like hte light on the tree - pulls your eye to the tree. 8

Dandelions
by wgoodey

Comment:
Typically I really hate it when parts of things are amputated to create an image (people's feet are my pet peeve). However, in this case, I think it works. I think this is probably the first image that successfully portrays a dandelion as a monument. Yes, to me they look regal and noble and enduring. Not an easy thing to do. If the image had been slightly sharper with regard to the head of the dandelions, I would have scored this higher. 9 from me! Good luck!

While this image is simple and beautiful and well placed, there is something missing for me. Maybe if he was on the right side of the image, this would be resolved. I don't know. The detail at a distance is captured well. I have no emotional attachment to the image, but that is a personal thing - can't reach everyone! 9 from me!

Well executed. Great color juxtaposition. The only thing holding this back from a higher score is the POV. I think. Not sure if it would work better slightly lower/straight on or not. The knob has a funny tint that resembles skin - your arm perhaps? 8 from me. While I like the shot and believe its well done, its not quite there for me.

Wow. Excellent presentation. Great vision. The only thing holding this back is the trash, though I am sure you heard this before. 9 for having the eye to find excellent detail in the simplist of places.

Thicker than Water

Simple. If it weren't for the blown areas in the middle row, this would have gotten a 10 from me. But the originality and execution deserve at least a 9. So here it is.

There are probably many voters who think this should be in color. Not me. I am glad you converted it - I think the depth and tonal range you got from B&W pushes this image into the top 5 for this challenge. there is so much more detail than you would ordinarily see in the play of shadows and reflection. 10 for an excellently executed image. Good luck!

I think the conversion of this image is excellent. But, I hate all the white. A little more detail in the background would have gotten you a 10. 9 from me on an excellent image. Good luck!

Simple, in focus, great colors and not a flat background. I have the same plant but its still brown. and no ladybugs. sigh... The ladybug looks slightly over saturated but the lighting makes up for it. One of the top images in the challenge for me. 10 Good luck!
