General Hospital Dome

I'd like to see you go back and have some more time to get shots of this dome. This is a very good snapshot, but it does feel more like a snapshot than a thoughtfully composed photo. I just love those copper domes and roof tops. I do really like the lighting here, especially against that dark sky. I'm sure that's probably what caught your photographer's eye as well. Neat story to go with it too.

Yup...pretty sweet! It almost gives the effect of light through a stained glass window. Nice expression and composition too. I'll bet she really liked this one. At first, I though the lighting was "painted" like with a flashlight or something. Great experimenting and end result.

A very sweet shot that caught my eye. Whatever it is to the right of the baby's head is a little distracting, I think. Looks like maybe a stuffed animal or pillow. It's bright compared to the rest of the shot. The b/w works really well here and the lighting on the faces is wonderful.

Sunlight at the Great Wall

This would make a really cool print. I would have cropped out just a bit of the sun orb at the top. I like having the sun there, but not quite that much. The mountain scenery in the background just makes this shot. Wonderful opportunity for a great shot here and I'm glad you took advantage of it and shared it!

Technically, I think that this could probably be improved. It's a little dark everyplace except the belt, the composition could be opened up a bit more I think, and the focus is a little soft on the face. That being said, I think this shot was vastly underrated! The expression you've captured and the idea both merit at the very least a 5. I didn't vote in this challenge, but I would have given you a 5 or 6.

I think it's one of the few shots where the title really helps as well. Anytime you put a smile on my face (which this one did), it has accomplished at least reaching the viewer.

Cute idea. I think I would have liked a slightly more straight-on angle looking at the face a bit more. Colors are great and I think you made a good choice of the background, though it seemed to get mixed reviews. I also like the border.

This is really beautiful and well done. Great light on the eyes, nice soft tones. Her expression is perfect and relaxed. Really a nice mood to the shot.

Kylie, congratulations! Whoever said good guys finish last hasn't seen your wonderful photos. I was really hoping this one would ribbon. You're a wonderful part of the DPC community. Enjoy!

This is very "eye" catching! I think I would have cropped more off of the bottom to cut the ground portion out of the frame, but it's also nice just as is. How in the world did you get this close to a zebra? lighting could have been a little better, but you pretty much take what you can get with animal shots. Congratulations on a wonderful photo.

This is so cool...the lighting really makes the shot. I actually had a similar idea (only using toilet paper), but didn't do it. This has wonderful lighting, a great composition with graceful lines and just a touch of soft color.
