One of my top five. Very eerie and what an interesting cloud frame for this scene. Voted earlier.

My favorite of the challenge - I love the interaction of the cat and the moon and if a cat COULD do this, I am certain he WOULD. Beautiful tones, too.Voted earlier.

Stumbled upon this thread - hope you don't mind my butting in. This is very special. I love the tones, the dust, the back lighting, the silhouette . . .

28/52 - hard to read

For me it is primarily the layering of the baby's face over the mother's that holds this back. I really want to see that sweet baby's profile clearly against the background. Hope this helps.

I meant I thought the blacks could be blacker and the whites whiter. I know it's impossible to take this kind of shot without lens distortion. I was suggesting that you might be able to correct more of that distortion with a transform tool in post-processing. I gave it a try on the tones and the distortion. I used levels and the skew tool in Elements 7. The warp tool would also have been useful but is not available in Elements.

For the critique thread:
I like that the column and its base are off center and I also like the bird flying into the frame on the left. There may be another bird in the center, but I can't tell. You have some lovely comments, but for me the image is boring. Since the perspective is head on here, I feel all the verticals and horizontals should be parallel to the frame. I would like a wider tonal range (feels flat to me) and more texture, but these are personal preferences.
