Artisan - Wood Carver
by RLS

Comment:
An interesting subject - and I like the composition, except the white post in the background, which seems to be sprouting up almost out of the carving.

Hot Job

Comment:
This is an interesting angle and a good subject. The lighting bothers me a bit - the house/roof and the background seem to be the same shade, making it hard to tell what's going on at the edges; and his face is heavily in shadow, which looks a bit awkward in a challenge that has me looking at the people.

The composition of the photograph - the way the house is on an angle - works nicely, as does the close proximity of the two men, helping to keep focus on them.

I loved this one - ghostly and beautiful - it shows fine on my laptop, dim but very clear.

This looks more like computer-generated art than anything. It's an attractive pairing of colors, and interesting lines, but what is it?

Church at Night
by nathaliedoo

Comment:
It's a pretty church, very clear in the shot - but I admit I find it hard to keep my eyes on it. The vivid yellowing in the foreground makes it where my eyes are drawn, even if it wasn't the intended subject.... Not much to be done about that, I don't think, with all those lights there.

Shoes in the Rain

Comment:
Pretty picture over all. The shoes don't seem much like the subject with all the bulk of what's above the pool, though.

"Yummy"

If it weren't for the bit of white, I'd swear this was a picture of my parents' cat. Terribly cute - a nice catch on that tongue! I'm also impressed that the cat is cmpletely clear against the background, and still not miscolored from it. The light caught the left eye a bit, so the pupil is yellowed, but I didn't catch that till staring closely.

Cloud fan
by eweb

Comment:
Nice concept. I'm kind of sorry to see the fan blend into the background, though - if it had been much darker, or otherwise stood out against the sky, it might have made a more imposing subject. The blurring of the fan blades - neither so much as to render them unrecognizable, nor so little as to suggest it's off - is nice.

Rarified Air

Comment:
That must have taken a bit of timing or work to get. The bit of someone's head (I think it is) near the bottom is distracting. (It also seems to give lie to the angle chosen for the photograph, making it a bit less dramatic to my eyes, at least.)

Thank you - this was good for a giggle, and is also nicely framed/shot.
