I like your contrasts in subject suits challenge well, my only criticism would be the lighting in front of truck is too bright. A mid-day shot I suspect.

light as feathers
by shutterfly

Comment:
I think what works for me in your photo is that the colors of the feathers and of your background are pretty much the same shades, produces a monotone feel (even though i see it is not one color : ) ) The similarities in color also help the feathers look like they are floating which gives it a light airy feel, hence supporting your title nicely, nice shot.

well i just commented and does not seem to have gone through...grrrr...
any way I really like the movement and exuberance your shot conveys. Not only in the girl but the sky seems to have that feel too, nice capture.

New Dawn

For me what makes your sunset it the way it is framed between the two rock pillars, there foreboding strength in the foreground giving way to the gentleness of the warm sunset colors.
Makes me think it is a good analogy for life and nature, has both a harsh and soft side. good eye to capture it.

Still alive

Well, you've probably captured one of the biggest contrasts 'life' has to offer. I really like the distance of the man to the tombstones, And while I wish he were a little closer so I could see expression a bit more, he looks hesitant to me, as if death were perhaps contagious so not wanting to get too close. I think you have also done well to capture the pensive and reflectiveness one experiences while at a grave. nice work.

Stripes

Comment:
I tend to be biased towards animal shots, I love them. But I think this one is particularly interesting beacause of the stripes. He also looks like he is sitting almost upright and leaning against the back of the chair. I do wish there was a light stripe over his eye so it was more visiible and could get more sense of his personality. I think the ear sticking up is great and the fact the he stayed still long enough to set up light and shot is testament either to his obedience or your skill as photographer-- i ll let you decide which : )

White on Black

I think you got me, at first I was sure this was a statue on second look of course it is not. The hair is good, and you caught a good expression on him, his eys are frozen yet alert, (good mime) Would have like to have seen slightly more light on his face, but generally a good capture.

Hmm for me this shot is really made by the silhouetted tree on the left, the contrast coming in from the lamposts, and while it works for this challenge, sure ruins the landscape eh?
I like this shot the emptiness of it. Nice cloud too.

Lavatera Leaf
by robsmith

Comment:
The softness and gentleness your shot convey is a testimony IMO to your skill at lighting, really its a dying/dead leaf (i think), yet you have made it a thing of wonder, what an amazing job. It looks fragile and weathered, yet life seems to still be fitting in it. Quite curious how you got the lighting this way. Is it a lightbulb behind some kind of paper helping to soften it? simply lovely IMO

The two things that 'get' me about this shot is the emptiness in it, I think it is great, and I love the black and white tones in contrast to the color people. The lines too are clear, simple and add to the perspective. All around really nice. very nice.
