Peek-a-moo

Comment:
A bizarre pun which for some reason makes me giggle

Nice sharpness and colours although (from a personal perspective)there are a couple of places on the cut out keyhole which are quite distracting (right at the very top the hole line is a little jagged and it looks like there is a little fold in the card on the right innermost point near the cows food)

Just read that comment back and it sounds very pedantic, but it is very small things like that that can on occasion stop a good picture from being a great one.

Emphasis should still be that this is a good picture!!

I See You ... From Above.

I love this birds eye view type of image and I think you have pulled it off well. I am not too sure how well it will do with some DPC literalists in terms of scores but from a personal perpspectibe I totally get the idea that you are 'peeking' over a railing or bannister at someone. Nice complementary colours and I like the stones on the other side of the window

Really nice idea and I like the sharpness of the claws and the eyes of the hermit crab. From a personal perspective I do find the reflection to be a little distracting. Nice colours

Peek-A-Boo... I SEE ... umm... .err.. me.

I really like the way that you have framed this shot. The complimentarity of the colours of the mirror/fence(/) and your eye works very nicely.

real good 3d feeling about the shot

We see you

very nice composition that meets the challenge well. I am not sure whether it was just the weather conditions but there almost seems to be a little haze over parts of the shots which are nuting the colours slightly. 6

Whiskers

lovely abstract that I am sure would have scored higher had we not just had the pet portrait (as you infer in your notes for non cat lovers there are only so many shots of felines that we can take)

Really like the softness of the B&W conversion but the way that you have not lost the contrast of the various tones.

The sharpness on the whiskers is sublime

So Much More to Explore

woo nice shot, which almost has 'shining'-esque qualities

I love the fact that even though we cant see the boys face we can sense ennui with being 'trapped' indoors and a keenness to get out and play

I love the b&w conversion you have used, gotta be honest and say the desat less so, but the good news is that -as you say - you take pictures for you and not for me/voters

very nice finish - especially in a free study - an an intriguing study

The Light that Guides You Home

Really nice compositionally and I love the sharpness and contrast of the rocks and snow (especially in the foreground) as well as the implied leading line that the snow creates.

For my taste (and as I always say check the difference in scores that you get compared to me before you put any store in my judgement) the sky and the sea seem a little flat colour wise

Still a lovely photo

In the Zone

Comment:
Funnily enough after seeing 'long time master' in the last challenge I wondered whether this was another of yours from the Japanese festival

What a cool fun image, and lovely sharpness and colours on the main subject (whom I cant decide whether they are really in the zone and going for it or slightly scared that one of those drumsticks is going to bounce back and hit hime in his own head)

Either way a great shot that I could eaily imagin in the pages of a local paper to illustrate the great time had by all at the event

Good job

Table for One, Please

Grrr I cant believe that after trailing me in the scores all week I ended up eating your dust right at the end

A beautiful atmospheric shot which has a haunting/slightly sad quality to it. I love the black and white conversion you have used. The low key and slight noise works really well in this case

A very nice image

ETA....Hahahaha I only just saw your comment....I dont know whether to try and act all tough by saying "Of course I made you wait...treat 'em mean keep 'em keen" or point out the truth of the matter which is that I was working but actually arrived earlier than estimated!!!!
