Battleship grey

I've looked at this one several times this week. I really like the blues in the reflection. The angle is nice; very effective. One tiny nitpick is the back end of the ship right past the "812" is cut off, but that's tiny. Very well done. :o)

Nice macro, and good desat as well. The color of the poppy really looks great against the desaturated BG. There are a few spots of desat on the petals, which may or may not have been intentional, but they don't distract the eye too much. Very nice. :o)

This is definitely newspaper-type material, just not all newspapers. I can neither agree nor disagree with the content, but the photo itself is fairly well-made and captured at a decent angle. The lighting appears to be from midday sun, which makes it a bit flat with harsh shadows, but in news you take what you get, right? I am sure it was rather interesting, being there in person...hope you weren't one of the people on the receiving end of "the bird." I also hope you don't suffer from the political voters rather than those who vote based on photographic merit. :o)

Very cool in its surrealism. Great eye color! I like the wet look and the textures in this image.

Surrealistically sexy...gotta love those shoes! The only thing about this photo that kind of distracts me is that it seems like it's aspect ratio has been stretched...something looks a bit unnatural about her legs and shoes. Can't put my finger on it. I love the color of the shoes/undies. Neat shot. :o)

What a powerful image...this fits the challenge absolutely and is very well done. I love the contrast and the shadows, and the shoeless foot really makes an emotional connection. Congratulations...I'm sure you will be a contender! :o)
