Great composition, and excellent use of desaturation. :)

Transportation Symphony in D minor

This photo epitomizes "progress" better than every other one I've seen so far. :) The composition is great, and I love that you were able to capture not only such a hectic maze of roadways, but also all of the railways. Amazing photo, perfect title, and great contrast. Great job! :D

Excellent theme! I love the composition of this shot, love the colors, and think the melting globe gets the point across perfectly. Well done!

1980s big Progress

An excellent example of progress! :) I like that you used such tight DOF to really show the texture on the record. Personally, this would have scored even higher with me if a drop shadow hadn't been used along the edges and if a solid, even-width border had been used.

I LOVE the concept of this picture! The lighting is great, you have a perfect catch-light in her eyes, and the composition leads you from past memories into the present. :) The only thing that may have bumped this picture even higher for me is if contrast/levels had been used just a little more to help it "pop" a little more (it seems just a bit low in contrast, though that may just be my monitor... ;) ). Great job!

I like that you used such a shallow DOF to put just those drops in sharp focus. :D The only improvement I could possibly suggest would be to use levels and possibly desaturation to make the dark tiles completely black.

Beautiful shot! :) The gold tone on the rock contrasts very well with the blue tones in the rest of the image.

I really like the shot, but wish there wasn't so much darkness and that we could see the ritual up close.
