Red Clover

Not only a pretty flower I don't think I've seen live, but it played a significant role in medical history...now, where's the four-leafed stem? With a little (hyperactive) imagination your view resembles a shot of those Easter Island statues...

Yellow Baby Flowers with Hand
by amonteforte

Comment:
More separation from the background would help make the flowers stand out even more. It's hard to restrict the DOF on many digital cameras (like mine). In this case, you might have been able to stand on a chair or something to get more distance between the hand and the background.

I'd rather see more of that pretty tree than the background.

Wind...is for Kites!

I really liked this, but was a little "suspicious" since I'd already been to this site for Kite Aerial Photography. Good job creating a convincing representation!

Dance of the Gummi Bears
by DougPaz

Comment:
Maybe it would have been more "convincing" had you stood them up, like viewing a square dance from obliquely above. We needn't see all of them face-on.

Despite your note, I have a suspicion some bears were harmed AFTER the making of this shot...

Originally posted by inspzil: Greetings from the Critique Club By Inspzil Composition - The branches frame this shot in beautifully. I question the framing of this picture in general. I think a landscape shot would be more advantageous to show a little more of the landscape and a little less of the clouds at the top of the frame...

I think in the context of THIS challenge it was a good idea to include the differently-colored clouds at the top, even though a panoramic crop might make a better "sunset" picture overall.

Did you know you can completely re-crop the version you post for printing? Customers will see a new preview generated from the printable file. It can still be associated with your entry, even if considerably adapted...

I shoot lots of pictures while I'm driving around too. My camera won't go to 1/4000 though...

We took a somewhat similar approach to interpreting the challenge this week, but I shot mine out the car window while at a stoplight -- my sunroof leaks and is taped closed!

Good job bringing out the rays...I'd be curious to see the unadjusted shot (unless this is it!).

Hope they plan to wander for less than 40 years!

Well-controlled exposure...worth waiting around for.
