Can't believe this didn't do MUCH better. Such a dynamic shot, brilliantly seen and processed.

Hehe, this takes me back to my holidays in Turkey. 'Genuine fakes!' and 'Cheaper than Marks and Spencer!' were some of the favourite catchphrases. Great capture. Hope you're enjoying your time there as much as I did.

Cloud Dancer

Excellent poise and drama. Magnificent lighting and conversion. Twenty times better than the outtake. I would have preferred the shot without the dancer looking directly at the camera - I think a greater appearance of concentration would give the impression of total immersion in her art and would significantly add to the drama of the image. Great work, I hope to see more like it!

I thought this was a wonderful shot and infinitely more deserving of a higher placing than my own. I know you're used to scoring well but don't be afraid of getting lower marks every now and again if you really appreciate what you're doing yourself. For every voter that didn't 'get' this, there are others like me who think this is your amongst your best work.

Stunning shot with wonderful bokeh. This should have scored much higher IMHO!

Quite frankly I'm a bit staggered this didn't score significantly higher. It's clearly shot with an overall sepia tone so I fail to understand why you've been voted down. Some people are just really rigid with the challenge I guess, but it's a beautifully taken, fun shot that you should be proud of.

I love this - such a dynamic and energetic shot, very nicely converted. I would probably choose 'Walkies' for the competition, perhaps cropped slightly more at the top.

Wow. Incredible use of light and brilliant conversion.

Working Shoes

Far too out-of-the-box and sophisticated for voters - and I include myself in that. I didn't understand why it was 'odd' until you pointed out the third shoe! Kudos for a brave and clever entry and sorry I didn't score it higher!
