New Soil Falling
by pointandshoot

Comment:
Hmmm. Another one where I haven't had enough coffee to follow along. The shot itself is pretty cool but I'm not sure I get the concept of soil falling. The little plant appearing to be in front of dead/dying plants does give me a "new life" kind of impression.

New Low for Lake Mead

Wow, that's pretty dramatically low. Pic is a teensy bit bright on my monitor but your point is very well illustrated nonetheless.

Not sure I understand this but you made me want to ;-) Intriguing shot.

Pretty place in that light and lovely colors in the sky. I kind of want a little more contrast to really pull out the sun's rays.

My New Friend!

Comment:
Looks more like sunset than sunrise, so this seems a bit of a stretch for this challenge, but I will assume that really is your new buddy swimming out there. Colors are nice; I think there is a tad too much foreground compared to the trees/sky, making the crop feel out of balance. Your friend appears to have another bird's wake in front of him, which detracts from the solitude otherwise felt in the shot.

A New Life

Nice choice for the challenge. Lighting is nice where the newly opening leaf is highlighted; think I'd like a teensy bit of fill lighting to remove the shadows of the sprouts from the dish, or move the light that's above to achieve that. Not entirely certain about the crop (it sort of feels like the sprouts will hit the top of the frame soon while there is more room to the left and right than they need). Overall very nice job.

Congratulations, Catherine!!! This was my only 10 :-) And look at your votes - *NO* 1s, 2s, or 3,s ... outstanding work acknowledged. I will enjoy seeing this on the front page for the next week.

Flora Bokeh

Bokeh is complementary to the flower. I might crop a bit more off the left side and the top to see more of the flower's detail.

Stubby Tree in Fog at Twilight

I am having trouble with the many elements in this shot not complementing one another. I might prefer a closer, focussed shot of the tree, with ghostly images in the fog as background.
