Technically, this is far from perfect and you've broken a lot of the rules of engagement ... but in the end it all seems to work. Among best of class.

I really can't puzzle out what I'm seeing here but I like the flow of the water ... even if I can't figure out what's causing it. Among best in class.

Lovely bird who had the good artistic sense to perch in front of you on this photogenically long stick. And, you made the most of it. Among best in class.

Backstage Pass

We've seen an aweful lot of guitars over the years but this is about the best I've ever seen. Black background was inspired. The form and shape of the guitar are pleasing. The color is subtly managed. DOF is powerful. Among best in class.

I'm not a horse guy, even though I was raised in Montana. But this is terrific. The unusual point of view is terrific. Your mastery of composition, focus, DOF, color and contrast are virtually perfect. Among best in class!

Building Blocks

This is just great. I like the division of the entire frame by the black window frames. I like the individual reflections in each window. I like the distortions. I like the colors. It might be a post-modern stained glass window. Among best in show.

Ratcliffe Power Station

Comment:
Who would have thought a photo of cooling towers could be attractive? Certainly not me, but I would have ben wrong. You've created drama in the juxtaposition of towers and sky on the one hand, and the folliage on the other. Everything about it just seems to work. Among best in class.

viewing the sunrise at Death Valley

Comment:
You have given us a dramatic photo on several levels. A dramatic abstract. A dramatic landscape. And a dramatic adventure. The composition with 3 diagonal stripes, as it were, gives us a lot of motion, which I appreciate. And the four figures at the crest of the dune make us care and give a sense of scale. Among best of show.

More Marbles

I can't articulate all the reasons why i like this but I do. I hope it's natural and that the motion blur was captured in camera rather than in software. If so, it's among best in class.
