a lovely time of day.

It's a shame there's a bit of burnout in the clouds. I would have tried to bring out a little more colour in the grass and foliage; though there's always a strong yellow component to the colouring at this time of day, which makes it difficult.

nicely composed, though.

The picture noise is used to good effect here. As is the 1st-person perspective.

USMC or US 11th Infantry, I assume? The Devonshire Regiment of the British Army also uses this motto, but they're not so big on having stars on their flags :-)

A nicely framed and composed shot.

A good idea, nicely executed. i might've tried to capture at least a little of the milk hitting the side of the glass - but what you have works well.

Well executed. Effective use of lighting.

Very nice. A good original idea, well executed.

Challenge entries are a crap shoot
by DemonLlama

Comment:
This must've been a very tricky shot to take. You need that fast shutter speed; but you really don't need that narrow depth of field.

The blur on the right-hand die actually creates a nice sense of motion, though I think it's focus blur rather than speed blur. But a nice effect, nonetheless.

This is a nice shot. But, given that the main feaute is a sculpture, it seems to be trading strongly on someone else's artwork. A nicely composed shot, though - moody sky.

Black Panther

This is a great topic for this challenge subject, and the strong lighting works well. But I think you could have done a litle more with it.


It's a shame that the paw is clipped off over on the right. Maybe a lower angle, showing more of the cat's facial features, would have worked better. And maybe on a more reflective surface.

The Lion and the Bumbershoot

Nice.

I would have experimented with making the blacks a little blacker, and maybe altering the angle of the brolly to bring it closer to the bottom left corner. and maybe going quater-face with the lion.

But overall, it works well.
