the structure has an interesting quality to it, the gray under the paint and the gray paint in the image.

very interesting composition, I like it. I think I would have liked it a little better if the top person had a similar expression.

They really are blue

Composition/Content: Nice view and great subject. The point of interest appears to be the blue ridge in the background. I would like to have seen more of the blue ridge since it is the point of interest. I tried a crop on your image beginning just to the right and below the small cloud and using everything below and to the right of that point. The resulting image showed much more of the blue ridge and to me was a more interesting composition.
Lighting: It appears that the photograph may have been taken near mid-day or when the sun was high in the sky. That would accentuate the blue but would also flatten out the color in other parts of the image. I am wondering what it would look like early or late in the day, would the blue ridge still be blue and also the other colors not quite as washed out looking?
My Opinion: I like the image a lot but it needs something to give it that wow factor. I also think that PTLParsons may have hit the nail on the head by his comment: "It's one of those things you'd have to see to ... get the full beauty of it".

Composition/Content: Good contrast between the snow and the dark tree trunks. I like the subject, a tunnel of tree limbs lining a snow covered road. But there seems to be two points of interest: the end of the tunnel, and the light at the top of the image. It's difficult to tell what might remedy that. Widening the shot might depending on what is on each side.
Camera Work/Technical: The low camera angle does well for this shot. Exposure is good. Closing down the aperature would give greater depth of field.
Digital Processing: Processing looks good, color balance, noise, contrast.
My Opinion: I like the image. But the image needs a single point of focus that is interesting to my eyes. When my eyes are drawn to the light at the top I am disappointed because there is not much there. When my eyes travel back to the end of the tunnel there is not much there either to focus on. I believe opening up the shot with a slightly wider angle might help with the interest because I could then see the tree trunks framing the road. Maybe even a landscape orientation or someone down the road to focus on. You have a great idea with good technique that just needs a little something to top it off.

Redneck Palm Pilot

Composition/Content: Very funny image. The simplicity gives the image it's impact. It's also funny that a redneck would have to write down such a note. I think the rectangle works great being a natural photo shape, it helps the subject stand out and be the center of attention. The angle of the writing also brings the eye straight to the message. Using a woman's hand makes it even funnier. The ribbon adds to the picture in that is represents to me that this redneck doesn't want to lose the pen either. Nice shot.
Lighting: Good lighting.
Background: Good choice in background as it accentuates the subject.
Camera Work/Technical: Good exposure. The soft focus could have been a little sharper but doesn't distract from the image very much.
Digital Processing: The image could benefit from some jpeg artifact removal. It would also make the reddish shadows look better.
My Opinion: This image could easily be a commercial for a beer company. Very creative and well done.

great composition and color. i like the tree on the left but it's cut off a little too much or not enough. the trunk of the tree causes a bit of an imbalance in the image.

great use of repetition and cropping.
