Slick!

Such a good idea and case! The left vertical band is absolutely incredible with rich texture and color. the rest plays with the abstract pattern, but after the challenge, you might see what you could do to isolate and focus on the left portion!

Wonderful shot, good composition, excellent exposure, both interesting and beautiful. One minor issue: Seems to be a slight "faded" area almost a band across the top that's slightly detracting from it's otherwise perfect image!

Grado, Italy

Very nice shot--and you're right. It didn't deserve the low scores (though it did really well overall anyway.

One technical comment: the horizon is not straight and really should be. Unfortunately, that will also reduce the angle on the lovely angled walkway.

This was a good idea! However, while it meets the theme topically, it doesn't meet it compositionally. The composition is crowded, and while there is a focal point (the person), they are partly obscured, bent over the other way, and facing the other way.

IMHO there were a number of ways to approch this. The key would have been to reduce the number of elements in the photo as well as capturing a portrait of the simple life. On the other side of the post would have been a good start. Catching just the one carriage, perhaps even as she pulled away, would have worked as well.

A very good shot. I am betting it ribbons!

I like the lighting here. I think it would be improved if you could have eliminated the spot from the shot though.

Good shot and design. Has it been desaturated? Looks a little on the green side, might be natural. But perhaps a little more saturation or yellow in the flowers would punch it up a notch.

Very nice light and tones. Would like it even more without the glass shelf.

Simply a Vase

Comment:
Excellent shot and use of symmetry. I like the dark tones and richness it gives the colors. The centered composition seems ok here, but as long as you have that, you might have just gone for broke and make the vases fill the frame vertically as well, giving complete symmetry of the composition as well.

I like the colors and composition. It might have been a good one to run through neat image on low settings to remove what looks like chroma noise in the light fur.
