Serenity On The Rocks
by boosemo12

Comment:
I really like the DOF in the photo.
I'm not sure of the portray of proportion here? Perhaps I will come back to it and vote... right now, I'm just commenting on the challenge.

I do like how the title and the photo clash. This isn't serenity... it's quite contradictory, and I really like that about this shot. It makes the viewer "think" more about it. The story behind the shot.

There's something that's "off" about the photo, however, and I can't quite place my finger on it.
I will revisit this shot shortly.

Eye
by mshonak

Comment:
Cute shot to portray proportion.
It looks a little snapshot-ish to me...
I'm not feeling the dark shadow underneath the child's chin, along with the shadow under her arm. Judging by the bright white spot on the magnifying glass, and the shadows, I would say the flash was used, unless she was near an extremely bright light?
Perhaps different lighting would have enhanced the quality of this photo?

Also, it seems that the white balance is a tad off.

On the plus side... I do like how the magnified eye is a little brighter than the rest of the photo... it gives it a "pop"
And the kid is definitely cute. Adorable facial expression!

Overall, I think with a few minor adjustments, this photo could really do well! :)

HAHAHA!
I love this shot.

Great way of showing proportion.

I think you went a touch heavy on the processing...
but overall a good shot!

Coming back to vote.

Colossal Heights

Comment:
Really enjoy this shot.
Beautiful black and white!

This is a great portrayal of proportion. The little boy walking amongst the gigantic trees!!!
Great processing.

Since the little boy is the main subject (against the trees) I think I would have straightened the photo a touch to align him properly against the ground. But other than that... I think this turned out beautifully!

One of my highest rated in the challenge (so far). I'm giving this a 9

BarnTag-7
by Damon

Comment:
I think I would have scored this image higher... simply because of the perspective. The angle it's shot at gives the barn a more 3D look. Also, I love the hanging license plate about to fall off on the upper right of the shot.

I gave your entry a 6. I think I would have given this one (with the right processing) an 8 or higher.

Head in the Clouds
by Lydia

Comment:
I like the concept of this shot. The head, in proportion to the body, looks overly large, like a bobble head. lol
It seems, however, that there is not much focus in the shot. The only focus I am seeing at all is the iris of her eyes (and did you do PPing on the color/detail? It looks really good!)
I would have liked to had seen a little more focus on her face, and perhaps soften it a touch...
Also, the bright lighting on the bottom right corner of the shot makes the floor appear washed out. Maybe a little spot editing to darken this area? Just my opinions.

But overall, great capture.
Will come back to vote. :)

Black and the Cat
by Ammie

Comment:
I like the colors of this shot... how the cat and the wall are harmonious together.
However, my only issue with the shot is that the brick wall seems a little too blurred. I would of liked to had seen a little more focus there.

Proportionally, I think the shot was done well.
Coming back to vote.

In the proportion of πr²
by Paul

Comment:
BEAUTIFUL shot.
I'm not usually a fan of landscape shots. But... there's something different about this photo.
I really like the softness. As well as the bright colors in the sky on the left side.
The horizon looks a little odd... and I know that it's a hilly area, so it's how the land is laid... but did you try straighten the photo at all? I'm not sure if that would help out thought?
The only other critique is that that snow covered mountain top on the right of the photo seems to disappear into the sky... perhaps a little burn or spot editing to that area?
I guess if viewers are looking quickly and voting without taking the time to study the photograph, they would miss it... so not sure it would make that much of a difference to the average voter? Just a thought, however. :)

Overall, I really like this image.
Right now, I'm giving it a 7. :)

Steps & Arch
by NikonJeb

Comment:
Beautiful shot! Love the "grunge" appearance. Wonderful PPing choice for this image.
Before looking at the title, I saw proportion between the two sets of arches.
After reading the title, I'm a little thrown off, which is why I'm not going to let the title affect my judging on the quality of the photo.
One of the things I don't like about this photo is what is at the top of the arch. I'm assuming that's rails or something of that nature? I'm thinking that it would have been better if you would of cropped that area out. Other than that, I like the processing, the starburst effect on the lights, the darkness of the photo... it all blends well together.
Nicely done! One of my highest voted in the challenge (so far). An 8

Out of Proportion
by jovan91

Comment:
LOVE this shot. The reflection, the DOF, the bright pop of the neon green!
My only complaint is that it appears slightly tilted. Had it been straighter, I would have given it a 9.
But I'm still giving it an 8.
So far, one of my highest voted in the challenge. :)
