Whilst this is pretty abstract and does therefore meet the challenge, I feel the focus does the image no favours at all, infact if it was pinsharp I think this could have done really well as there is some really interesting shapes formed by those shadows.

Well I guess they must have started without me!

I do not see this as an abstract image at all unfortunately, although it is a nice shot other than that.

Protecting God\'s House

Shelley I hope you do not mind but I had a quick go at this image to see what I would do with it if it were mine (I saw your post in the forum asking for suggestions etc) I think the image is really nice but a little flat and the lights are blown (not a lot I could do with those at my current skill level as I am learning daily too at the moment).

You can see what I came up with here [thumb]714115[/thumb] - if you would like me to remove the image please let me know and I will of course do so.

Edit: Spelling

jtf6agent just a quick follow up on my vote stage comment.

I still think this is a wonderful shot even though I put the comment in about the knuckles I certainly did not vote you low because of it (I gave you a 7 for what it's worth).

Something I have just noticed is that there is only 2 tenths seperating 16th place and 27th place and you seem to have been hit hardest by voters without cameras (far, far harder than anyone 10 places in front of you, not sure why this would be though) :(

Good luck for future entries (I hope to see your work again soon).

I find the softness of the high hand slightly distracting

Great expression and glasses - Very Nerdy heh!

Wonderful colours in the sky, must be a very exciting occupation!

The orange / red of the ground area is a bit distracting and I wonder if a little desat might have worked well on that part of the shot.

I would have liked to see this image straightened

Lovely model gorgeous eyes and a wonderful expression.

Cropping the right 3rd of the image I think enhances the feeling of daydreaming, but still a really nice shot.

Lovely focus on the eyes which seem to have a story or two behind them, good use of B&W.

This shot gets your occupation across well, I would maybe have liked a greater DOF and had the coins sharp though.
