I'll have to do investigations to see if you normally portrait these beech scenes :-)
Great shot. 8

The Old Lighthouse

Nice image.
I may have tried to use hdr to expose more details in the clouds. Though it might be that you didn't want to have the clouds competing for a focal point so shot it this way. Nice capture. It's how I perceived the challenge too.

Hmm. Well, the comment he left you (dfz) is a lot more than the ' he left someone else. And that was marked helpful!

Were it I the shot might have been square cropped hanging to the right. I don't know that I think the woman to the right adds much to the image, but I consider the horizon, steam and water turbulence the focal points of this image so that's why I said that.
Really nice colours though. Nice and simple.

Still Life with Acid

Really liked the composition of this. The darkness all around set the moody mood. The plant growing inside. The dirty and broken glass. The dust, dirt and grime. The slight tilt. I liked it all. And gave this an 8.
Really nice clean image. The acid bottle is a definite focal point, and while I think the plastic sheet on the left brings depth to the image it's the only thing that I can think of that people might use to bring down votes. The bright reflections in the folds and valleys. I can't really call it negative space as it is because there are too many details on it. I dunno though. Maybe it is. but the bright parts do bother me. I might have tried to clone them down a notch were it me. Then again I am prone to over-editing, so perhaps it's best as it is.
Great focus on this. Nice that the bottle and window are sharp.
Definite 8.

Great subject. There appears to be a fair amount of haloing around the edge of the building though. I love the diagonal on this though. 7

Love the crop and composition. If the whole building was there I reckon I'd be looking at the point, but now I'm focused right at the door.
10 and fav. I really like this.

How does it feel to get a 7 and not have it on your front page!? :-)
