Sun in Bloom

The processing is way overdone for my tastes. Way too much saturation, way too much sharpening. Otherwise you did a good job with the complementary colors and the pop of color off the background. Sticking that flower more in the corner might help with the composition getting it more in the third.

Not bad for a shot of hamburgers. I mean it's not very interesting or anything, but the photo is quality. It is clear, in focus with a good exposure. You got some of the flame to show through the grill. It would be a great shot for advertising or some other such need.

The busy background detracts from the main subject. The shapes are too similar to the flower. You did get a pop of color but my eye travels away from the color to the right side of the image.

This isn't really in line with the challenge details or the challenge title. There is no real point of color here. No spot of color that pops due to a neutral background or due to a contrasting color.

Lengthy title detracts. Leave something to the imagination. The first phrase was good enough. Overall red tone to the image doesn't really help the red lipstick to pop, though it does stand out. Good concept.

I really enjoy this as it has several good qualities... Excellent sharpness, great lighting, excellent exposure, good composition, wonderful texture and beautiful color. It also has great layers of differing elements: Layered Depth of Field from ultra sharp in the foreground to OOF in the background, layered lighting bright to dark, and layered color. It really pops! Excellent Job! I don't know if you missed anything with this photo.

I like your choice for this challenge. I think everyone's grandparents had this portrait hanging on the wall somewhere in the house. I like your twist on the portrait too with the urban theme. It really shows how far removed current society is from the spiritual foundations of our forefathers. A Comic Book and a TV replaces the bible and the can of food and crackers depicts just how far removed from the land we are. I would love for you to redo this to appear closer to the portait rather than with the HDR look. A nice black background and some softer focus would be great. At any rate. I enjoyed your photo.

Bigger is better. This photo is a little small, but is is a good photo nonetheless. THe little pos of color accentuate a good landscape.
