This is an intriguing image. To me it looks like a creative sort of child wish, hence the use of a doll. But it̢۪s that same doll that puts me off, it kind of ruins the image. But I̢۪m also touched by the sadness that speaks from this image. Lot of emotions raised by this image, so overall feeling is that it must be a good one. Bump!

What an imposing animal. Really well exposed, leaving just enough details in the white areas.

Interesting shot. I do like the texture and colours in the sky, but I̢۪m not too sure about the editing of the foreground, looks a bit harsh.

A still life with only one kind of fruit, not very exciting. But a decent shot overall.

Great image. I really hope you will describe how you did this shot in Standard Editing. In my top 3!

Dogwood Berries In September

Hi June, I didn't vote but if I had voted I probably would have given you a 4. I think I have 3 problems with this image: first the selective saturation/desaturation: it doesn't work here as salmiakki already noted. Second: the focus is somewhere in the back part of the berries - it gives you too much out of focus foreground, even so much you really have to search for that focus point. And third (and probably caused by what I mentioned under second) the processing of that frontal berry is terrible. I'm not sure what photo effect you have used in-camera (and I'm not even sure that is allowed in Minimal), but I guess your image would have been much better without the use of that effect.

Don't let this demotivate you to try again and again, it's the best way to learn. Success next time!
