Great shot of a baseball. Unfortunately for me, I can't for the life of me, find the connection with "Coffee Shop"...

What a beautiful rendition of a rose. Nicely captured, good and crisp where needed, soft where appropriate.

While I like it a lot, I wonder if the background could be cropped just a little on the left (say up to the last leaf) and then again on the right. (oh, about 1/3 of the distance between the frame and the flower) Would this concentrate the viewer more on the rose, rather than the mildly distracting background? Hard to say. Just another way to look at this splendid flower.

I would suggest blurring out more of the background to really direct the viewer to the flower.

It really is a lovely image. Keep up the good work.

Beautifully executed image of this church and its surroundings. I very much like the angle from which you captured this structure. Technically, I think it's just fine. Compositionally, it's also strong.

You have created the essence of a bleak landscape which seems to embody loss.

It may be this bleakness worked against your scoring a little. If so, it would be simply because the voters didn't understand the beauty of your interpretation.

Good luck in your future Challenges. I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.

I think I remember this guy from voting in the Challenge. He was a friendly looking guy then and still is. He definitely looks as if he could give you a nice, comforting pat on the back whenever you need it.

Expressive face, well photographed. Background is nicely neutral and I like the Black 'n White treatment.

From your portfolio, you seem to be a "People-type" person and your images of people are just great.

About all I can offer you is encouragement. 6.13 isn't bad, but keep doing what you are doing and undoubtedly those scores will go up even higher.

Your corner is a busy one, but it all fits quite well in the frame.

YOu have a good image and a good score. Congratulations.

Technically, I think your other commentors have made some good suggestions and I expect you will follow through with them to see if they are helpful.

I have a couple of compositional suggestions. Your mountain peaks lean towards the right side of the frame. Actually, if you check I think you will find that all of the interest in this image is on the right side of the frame. So, I suggest trying to compose your image a bit more to the left to keep the viewer in the picture for a longer period of time. Then, there is quite a lot of sky in this composition. I think it could be exceptionally effective if you lost about 1/3 of the sky that is showing. This would help focus the viewer on the center of interest, first the foreground peak, and then the follow-through background peak.

I wish you continued success in your DPChallenge experience.
