Hat Trick

Wonderful capture that show off the emotion and delight of this little girl. The motion of her twirl and the snow fall gives it a fairy tale feel. Not a fan of the title. Something simple like "A Dance in the Snow" would have appealed to me more.

Great capture of this little girl. The sharp focus on her eyes draws me into the scene. I think a regular square border would have suited this much better than the top/bottom border.

I love all the textures and colors. Could easily have been too busy but the white backdrop and white vignette soften the image and allow the colors to work well. Bravo.

Wonderful exposure with the bright flames and siloeutted fireman. Tells a story.

Nice idea - kinda of funny. Really needs headwear to not be considered DNMC.

Good picture with a cool abstract and feathery quality. Really needs more obvious headgear to not be DNMC.

Great Helm

Wow I like the crazy black and white tonality on this one. It makes the helm kind of abstract with all the scratches so visable. The lighting with all the hot spots is a bit much though and detracts a lot.

I am of two minds on this one. The flower is super. It leads you through the frame and has a big burst of color in the middle. The shadow however is the downer for me, as it distracts the eye away from the flower.

Super Crayolas!

I like the idea here. The crayons are exploding out of the rainbow! The focus and/or light here is making things a little soft/blurred. I have noticed that these kinds of photos need almost a perfect setup to score really well (new crayons with perfect tips, crayons all lined with no gaps, a printed inkjet rainbow instead of hand drawn, etc.)

Cool idea. I like the ways they progress downwards at an angle. I wonder if a more steep angle and more overlap between them would have created more impact. Vignette is not to my taste here.
