the orange light in the background is too strong, but otherwise a good photo

A Storm Cometh

Beautiful!! Excellent depth of field. The contrast is great too. I like the way the light shines on the leaves of the tree. Only one negative - that white 'whatever' thingy in the middle off in the distance is distracting. Still I give this a 10

good lighting, contrast, and creativity. Sad story.

Playtime...
by eljay128

Comment:
the face, chest, and right hand are too bright. The area above the left knee is distracting - would have been better if the black background had covered this area also. You may try following the tutorial for resizing your DPC submissions too - just too small of an image here. Your idea of playtime in the darkness was a good one, just not executed very well.

I like the creativity here. Your photo says something to me without having to read the title. Good job!

this photo was taken well: good lighting, contrast, and focus. It really does not say anything to me though - lacks the WOW factor

This is one of the better shots for this challenge. I really like the 'negative' look here, and it works well for the challenge topic, and the content of your photo.
If there was anything I would improve on this it would to make the writing on the tombstone a little more visible.

not a bad photo, but it does not really say "darkness" to me. I do like your 'out-of-the-box' thinking however - very creative. 5

very cool lightning shot. Wish you could have toned down the sun though...it's just not helping you here. Still, this was a good shot - 8
