Ahhh well thats the way it goes isnt it....The shots we love can bomb and the ones for which we have no expectations end up finishing 23rd with a 6+

Very nice study and a great B&W conversion. Outstanding detail on the body which creates a great textured feel to the shot

Nice one

i see you

I thought this might be one of yours, as ever a macro of stunning vividness and sharpness. Great picture

Yaaaaaaaaaaay

Well I wont comment on the picture itself as I did that during the challenge. What I will say though is

1. Congratulations on the blue and the high score
2. Your shots are fantastic, so for you to set a PB you have to realise that you have an image here which would grace any wall, publication or gallery

Simply brilliant

ETA - Oh my word, did you see the average score from all commentators!!!!! When you look at the number of comments you got during the challenge that is just incredible :)

Smog and Fog of San Francisco

Wow, definitely my favourite in this challenge. It takes a hell of a photographer to make smog look beautiful but you have managed it. Beautiful gradiated colours

One of my three favourites in the challenge. Brilliant capture, especially having your subject looking directly at the camera in the way it is. Amazing range of greens and the sharpmess on both the eyes above the water and the body beneath it (which does not suffer from any refraction issues) is outstanding

Bumping to 9

A simply stunning photograph and certainly one of my three favourites in the challenge. There is both a wonderful sense of serenity and power in the image and the crispness of the focus and the colours are sublime.

I thought this really met the challenge well super colours as well. There seems to be something a tad 'off' about the size of the insect almost as if you want it to be a either a little bit bigger so you can see more details (though that may be because you have spoilt us before by your stunning macros). Having said that still undoubtedly a shot which I would have loved to take and a great image

The Lemon Song
by Alicia

Comment:
Oh boooo. there was lots of lemon songs portrayed and this was my second favourite I cant believe it scored so low and finished 130/139

I love the fact that the lemon has been zested and squeezed (both rock and roll and quite original in terms of the way lemons are normally depicted on DPC)

I thought this had a nice textured feel to it (especially the pith on the inside of the lemon

Peeking Between the Rails

really nice shot that meets the challenge well. Absolutely sublime sharpness on the fence and the goats face and great colours that are set off even more by the bokeh sky. 9 from me

Peeking Out

Comment:
Very nice shot with a slightly olden day feeling about it (for some reason the wmoan in the window makes me think of a 1920's debutante!!??)

Love the spots colour on the white canvas (they are vivid without being overpowering)

Possibly could have done with a touch of straightening so that the boards lay parallel, but that is just a minor issue
