Just like my first SLR only my grips were brown instead of black, had a lot of fun with that camera.

Blessing or Curse

Not sure how I left a blank comment but here is what I was likely thinking... I would say these are a curse, it always amazes me how big these things really are and to me they are an eyesore. Every type of energy has a drawback and a price to the environment and I am not convinced the payback is worth the cost for these. As for the photo, it has nice leading lines and the hazy day adds some interest but my overall interest in the subject is just not there, I would likely have scored it in the 5-6 range.

I found this image to be captivating, one of my favorites for the challenge because it has elements of emotion along with really well defined light.

Not the type of shot that scores well but a lovely shot with a lot of emotion and heart. I was one of you 9's because the emotion of the dog just seemed to reach out and touch my soul, nicely seen and captured!

I love the one branch with the berrys and think the shot would be really nice with just that brach, the rest of thebranches just make the image a little cluttered. What I really like is the contrasting background with the nice bokeh.

I like the composition, the lights look like torches on the horizon which creates interest.
