I do too but I think it would be a little better if there was just a bit more space at the top and right in this shot.

Day06: Door Handle

nice focus. You can see the grain in the metal and the dust on the handle. Composition is good too. Good job.

from the thumb I thought I would see a lady bug on the daisy but after opening it I realized its not a lady bug and then stared trying to figure out what it was. If it isn't intentional then it is distracting but, if that is what you want the viewer to focus on the the color of whatever it is sets it up as a focal point. I like the dewdrops around the center. I think I would want to see more of the petal ends though in this one.

Wow this would have been great for the four elements challenge if it were taken during that time frame.

I opened this and stared so long I had to comment to let you know. This is a beautiful shot and one to treasure forever. I'm giving you a 10 but it probably won't stay because I doubt I'll get through 20% but I might. I love the lighting in this, the different textures of Moms earrings, the wall, the blanket, and Mom's shirt. They're all different yet very complimentary. And the expression on Mom is just beautiful. Not to mention such a beautiful lady as well. It's no wonder the baby is so precious.

Okay now that I went back to this after the challenge I have to know. What is that on his feet? I thought something just looked wierd about the legs but, couldn't figure it out and it didn't affect my vote but, after reading all the comments I see the feet thing. Is he standing on something or is it just a shadow?

btw I think the shot was awesome.

Looks just like a womans breasts and upper arms. I'm surprised it didn't do better. I guess not everyone saw that.

Not too bad for a first challenge. Sorry you had to go through the validation scare but didn't it feel nice to have that little comment up there saying its been validated? Almost like you want to say "In your face" to em. I got my first dq now on four elements. Not because I did anything wrong in editing or anything. I just didn't have the original because the download software did something so its not the true original.
Anyway great job on your shot. I didn't vote on it because I knew which one was yours but, I would've given it a good score.

I really like the way you processed this. Let me guess... Desat the church and lighten the color on the rest of the shot? It really makes the Church POP. For a desat shot this is really awesome. The only real drawback for me is the top of the Church is a little hot. 8
