Likely a contender for a high ranking. It has that "look" to it. I'm wondering if someone will say...."too bad the water is in there...woulda been better with just the sky"? LOL

The blurring of Tessa's face to highlight the glasses is really clever. But, I'll bet that you're taking some flack for this score wise by the "technical junkies" in here! LOL

Nice soft focus and does well in B&W. Bet a lot of women would kill to have those eyes as dramatic as they are.

It's Greek to Me

LOL...it's Greek to me too! This one makes me feel that I have to get stronger glasses LOL! The focus does a number on one's eyes and I think it's cool that it does that. Kind of a "double meaning"! Smart!!!

Oh so CUTE! I tried this with my dog for this challenge and couldn't get her to sit long enough to get the shot! LOL Love the coloring and crop.

Looks PROUD to me! *smile* Great clarity and certainly makes it an interesting photo of glasses. That's hard to do!

Eye of the Gekco

Really cute idea. Seems that you may have used a flash or the lighting was a bit too harsh? Not sure which it is but, I like the idea behind it!

Love the lighting...warm glow and nice contrasts! The focus seems a little "shallow" (ie: more toward the front but, seemingly still a bit oof) but, perhaps, that's what you meant it to be? (commenting only)

Wow, either my eyes need a "tune up" or some people's monitors need one! ;)

I don't see "the grain" that commenters are talking about and more than anything, they've bypassed a TREMENDOUS photo in lieu of this alleged "grain"????

I love the color, composition, crop and the abstractness of this shot, Jo! Really wonderfully done! Don't let the voters in here take you down. This is a tremendous shot and one that you should be very, very proud of!

(((((HUGS)))))

DPC is going crazy! ;)

ETA: BTW...I find it ironic that out of that entire shot, the only criticism given was this "grain" or "pixelization"??? Since I can't see it....I'm wondering just how "distracting" (hate that term as it's used constantly) it really was??? Therefore, the big question...were they actually seeing the photograph and looking at it....or, were they bypassing it and looking only for flaws???

Seems to me it was the latter! Such a shame to miss an entire wonderful photograph!

Ok...got that out...I can BREATHE now! ;)
