what a valley. especially for basic editing, the processing is pretty impressive. could have benefited a bit from some sharpening.

I think this photo would be stronger without such a loud border. My eye is drawn more to the B/W contrast of the border than the photo itself.

I still laugh when I look at this photo.

Ah well, I didn't really think that DPC at large would share our sense of humor. Oh well, even though this didn't get the yellow, I can imagine your red for the Shutter Speed challenge is consolation enough! Congratulations on being voted over 7 - an accomplishment that few of us ever manage!

lovely textures and lighting. generally I prefer a more open shot for landscape photography, but I think this works well.

Hangin' Out

bah, this should have finished over a 6. It could have benefited from some adjustments in lighting (I think the spotlight would be best directly behind the girl), but that's fairly minor - the absurdity combined with the girl's natural-looking smile and the water bottle should have been better recognized and rewarded.

Alice!

I gave this a 7. It was one of my highest rated photos. This is a gorgeous picture, underappreciated by the unwashed masses, and I think you made the right decision to keep the cropping loose.

this image is compositionally and thematically quite strong, but its visual busy-ness combined with the overall soft focus make it rather difficult to really understand. If you do a re-edit, I'd be quite interested in seeing it. I think there's a lot of potential in this picture that just needs to be brought out in Photoshop.

aww, this was totally underrated. I gave it a 6 and thought it deserved it: ie. I think its final score should have been in the 6 range. The eyes are just so perfect! Awesome picture, even if other people didn't get it...
