Pig
by giampo

Comment:
hehehee. I love it. I have only given two 10s for this challenge, and this is one of them. Nice texture for the pig/pig's hair/mud on pig, I also like the DOF so that the background is slighty out of focus. What I really like though is the composition. While I think the border is a little too big, I like how it really brings out the lines of the pig pen, and for once I really like the that two aren't parallel. Good work.

Country Wheels

Comment:
I don't mind an out of focus background (if its intentional), but since your title refers the the wheel, i would like to see the wheel itself in sharper focus.

In the background it looks like there is a white line between the mountains and the sky. is that from over-sharpening or sharpening edges?
Otherwise, I like it. Good texture in the hay and the grass.

Its very grainy, but i suppose that was the effect you were going for, and it does work very well. Its a solid photo technically, but I think the composition is just great. The lighting and shadows are wonderful. The crop along the top sort of bothers me, since you can't see her head, but I think the fact that you can see her head in the shadow makes up for it. good job.

It seems like a lot of people went for the side lighting/ half of the face darkened idea, but you did it well. I really like the fact that your white color keeps your whole left side from becoming too dark. Nice composition and cropping.

The Devil in Bluejeans

Its an interesting angle, and certainly more creative than most of the entries. I like the slightly washed out colors, the idea that the image and the title together sugest. The only thing that bothers me is the street line. I feel like it should be parallel with the edge of the photo, although maybe thats hard to do from your angle. Anyway, good work, I like it a lot and you get a 9.

I like the photo a lot, but I find the brightness of the blue eyes a little scary. I think a more subtle coloring of the eyes would've been more efective. On the whole though, I like the texture of your skin, and you have a good range of grays. I also like the somewhat serene look you have. 8.
