Grape Cooler

This shot makes me worry about the snow pictures I want to take (if it ever really snows here like it\'s supposed to....) The grapes and vines are damn near perfect, but the snow is hard to focus on. Over exposed?
Overall a nice image that could be great with a few more tries...

The Old Brown Bridge
by brownt

Comment:
This would be an interesting shot to play around with angles and perspectives. The way you did this shot is the typical angle used. Next time try puttting the camera closer to the ground (below the level of the rails). You'll get a totally different feel. This might not have worked for this challeng though as it would take emphasis away from the water. Nice tones here. The bridge almost looks like it was oversharpened a touch though.

Personal Paradise

Very nice in an almost surreal kind of way. The white spot center left is a little distracting. It wants to draw my eye there. Selectively adjusting the levels on that spot may (or may not, I'm still learning advanced ps techniques) help with this.

The Morning After The Night Before

Is that an Alka Seltzer? I thought about trying something like this but ran out of time (and Alka Seltzer too now that I think about it...) Nice clarity on the bubles behind the wafer, but the wafer itself seems a little soft (because of the tiny bubbles?) Also, I would have cropped out the waterline or up to include it. It looks accidental this way...

Water : Nature's Mirror
by peecee

Comment:
This is a nice shot. I like how clear the reflection is and also the colors. Something doesn't look right though. I think it's a perspective issue. Try rotating the shot slightly before cropping it and it may resolve itself. I would also crop out the dead flower in the foreground (or since the challenge will be over soon, clone it out in photoshop...)

This shot is very busy! It has many different layers made up of textures, colors, lines. It is confusing to the eye. Also the theme of the shot (water) is kind of hidden in the shot.

Nice composition and lines, but the colors are very dull.

Very nice photo of a FLOWER with a couple of water drops. I can't score it that good in a WATER challenge though...

Water.... Who'd A Thunkit !

This is an interesting take on the challenge. And you're right there is LOTS of money in bottled water.

Nice composition here. The crop is right where I would want it. The angle of the shot is also quite interesting. You can tell that it's store bought bottled water without really being able to see what brand. Nice! Compositionally the only thing I would change (since it is a set up shot) is making the set up perfect! Eithe make all the bottles face front or make them play 'follow the leader' around the 'S'. Also the line down the middle is a touch off.

Technically, this seems out of focus. Also the colors are a little dull. (maybe a lighting or post editing issue...)

All around a nice shot that with a little more playing around with it could have quite an impact!

Where are you from? I have Amish relatives all over Indiana, Ohio, Michigan. I know for a fact that they she did not know you were shooting her! On a tech note, your focus is a little soft and I don't think the selective desaturation works here. You did hit the challenge on the nose though!
