It's like a shot right out of the 1920's or something... Hey, did you invent a time machine???

Cute! I think a more centered subject would better work here. It's not really rule of thirds. The soft focus really does go well with the soft and cuddly goose.

Cartier-Bresson Retake

Your second attempt got a lot of things right. The angle of the camera is better especially without the twisted horizon. The exposure is good and the PP is brighter with a wider range of highlights and shadows. A couple of things suffered in the second take such as the sharpness due to the camera shake. The blurred woman in the foreground is not a problem though as she is moving which adds to the dynamic feel.

We share these electric nights alone

A great storytelling image capturing modern life but using a vintage feel to give it timelessness. I like the light illuminating her face and the darkness surrounding her. The image grain and all the elements of the room captured only adds to the tale. I am guessing she is a young bachelorette using her newly acquired ipad to seek out that budding online romance~ (but that's just one story line to tell.)

Superblurbia! Total subject isolation and wonderful tonality to boot!

I have been looking up to the sky a lot these days seeing the wonderful light that streams from behind the clouds. I love your capture here and am jealous because I can't make it work. I want to know your secrets and I will be checking out this image at the end of the challenge to ask you about it. Hopefully you will share some tips!

Such a captivating title goes well with the image. The darkness overtaking the light, led by the bird in flight. What great storytelling imagery and such awesome symbolism! To me the technicals are good, but the storyline gets all the marks on this work of art!!

The Old Wharf..... 5 Years Later

Wow, looks like the sea level is about 6 inches higher! Anyway, fantastic redo. Such greater clarity and composition. Your previous photo left me feeling boxed in because of the line of the wharf leading to the left and the focal point of the sunset to the right. Here, the sunset is in a much better position and the lines point right to it. It gives a much better sense of open space! Well done!

A photographer I admire and an image I remember without having to look it up. I like the new crop on this shot and the warmer colors. The leading line from the zig-zagging wires really takes you through the street to the end. In your last shot, the scene felt somewhat cut off due to the square crop. One thing I miss about this shot from the other one is the details. Being so close up in the other shot brought me more into the scene. That is a matter of the site image size restriction though. Surely this is a bigger image and if you had the same width as before, this shot would be just as spectacular. Overall a nice improvement I would just like to see it bigger, but that does not affect my vote.
