Too much blood on the knife. Any liquid would not stay on a knife like that unless it's molasses lol. Gruesome shot though, I like.

Wow lucky you to have such low gas prices. We're paying 5.62 per US gallon right now. Still a crime though....

That center line makes everything look well, not centered. I can't stop looking at it.

Another top 3 in my book. This should have ribboned. Meets challenge 100%.

Day 8: The Colour Orange

Comment:
Great orange tones in this shot. Good rendition of a difficult colour to reproduce. Good composition by avoiding to center the flower.

Day 7: The Colour Purple

Comment:
Lovely colours. The lighting is harsh and not too flattering for these beautiful buds. Having it centered like that didn't help in the interest department either. Sorry if I seem harsh but I see so many flower shots here, i'm not suggesting it's a bad thing, that I guess I'm getting more critical when commenting about the images.

Neat hair shot. I thought at first it may have been old grass or hay. Tones are fine.

Nitpickeroony- that really close strand of hair that's running across the frame.

Oh and welcome to DPC. :D

The first commenter touched upon the reason it didn't score higher. People thought it was a failed attempt at selective desat and scored it appropriately. That's the first thing that hit me as well. Of course I know it wasn't desaturated but that's the look this image has, unfortunately. The shadow at bottom left didn't help either.

Water Bug

Great shot of this water spider. Love the contrast between the reflection on the water and the insect.

Did you post in the wrong thread? Were you looking for the fixed focal length thread?

No matter, this is a beautiful late spring image. Life!
