Very well done! Looks like a post card to me! I really like the accented patch of red ground. (Small nit - the watering thingy, damn!) Cool, dramatic sky. 9 Rob the Swash

Very nice! Strong postcard feel. The sky isn't "perfect", but that's weather and this is pretty darn good anyway. 9 Rob the Swash

Very, very good shot! Focus is wonderful. Color seems very true. I'd have liked the building a bit brighter, but that's a nit. 9 Rob the Swash

I've seen this postcard! (kidding!) Very good shot. This is exactly what I would expect to see. Very well shot. The soft blur of the water is wonderfully satin. The skyline is very nice. (Small nit about alignment of the top of the fountain and the building background, but really!) 10 Rob the Swash

Epitomy of postcard! Focus is very strong, color is wonderful, lighting and shading are very nice, intersting. You win, score upgrade from 9 to 10. Rob the Swash

Very good colors! Too bad about the hazy sky, with just about any other sky this would have been a 10, I know you can't control the weather, sorry. 7 Rob the Swash

Longhorn Ranch

Comment:
Very good focus and color! The foreground cow seems just as strongly composed as the background one! The sand/dirt flooring isn't exactly a letter perfect setting, but that's a nit. 9 Rob the Swash (love the expression of the front most cow!)

This is a wildly well done photo! I'm having a hard time seeing this as a postcard, maybe a greeting card (sympathy - don't be down...sort of thing). The focus and composition are wonderful! 6 Rob the Swash

It's a pretty necklace and mostly well done. I agree with the masses that the focus in the lower section seems to be the weakest part of this shot. Difficult subject (justine is ever so correct!) and added difficulty for the steep angle (good for interest, bad for focus). I gave this an 8. Rob

Hi Betty, I didn't vote this challenge (can't be everywhere!). I think people take their food a little too seriously around here! The "R" should have just peeled off easily, no fuss, no muss, no fuzz. Cropping - minor mistake....Lighting - a tad harsh.
(I got murdered over a hair in my Merange shot....geez, like I was going to serve that colored mess??? I washed it down the drain, please!)
Another really good CC critique!
