Simple - and very effective. Black background is perfect. Composition could not be better. Title is imaginative - but where is the am/pm indicator? (I wonder if some won't even notice the "clock hands"!) The border is just "ok" - think it should either be a uniform width - or if not, larger at the base only. Try it with a much thinner, uniform frame. Should finish well up in the pack - I really like it.

Excellent - great interaction between the roots and the marbles. Nice colors. I think it would be much better without the (dirty) metal pan at the base.

Great intrepretation and presentation. The transition from green to dried is marvelous. The white background is perfect as is exposure. I really like the leaves that have shadows - maybe stronger side-lighting would have applified the shadows, making it even stronger. One of my top picks so far.

Wonderful scene taken with the perfect exposure. I have problem with the composition - think you have included too much in the image. It is also distracting to have the white flowers cut in half at the base. The border does absolutely nothing to help the image.

Stunning! The lighting and glow in the center is awesome. (Even if it is post processing.) Subtle pastel colors are exceptional. Focus = perfect. I've just started voting - but so far this is one its way to ribbonsville.

Not Another Railway Track Photo....

No, not just not another railway track photo at all! It's one that is unique, creative and artistic. The glowing colors are very magical. The platform next to the rails is a vanishing point without the rails. Well seen and shot.

Vanishing Chords

The black background makes the subtle colors really zing. I'd like to see the first fret area in the foreground in focus. The diagonal placement is very effective and creative.

Hmm. Must be New Zealand or some other wine-producing area. Nice demo of the vanishing point - great exposure and color saturation.

A great idea - definitely leads to a vanishing point. There's a lot of wasted space in the sky - but cropping it to a square image actually makes it stronger. Crop just higher than the tallest building. That way the vanishing point is at a crashpoint. Exposure is right on - and the star flares from the lights are great.

"Vanishing Point"

Well - things do indeed vanish there. Seems flat amd underexposed - and really isn't exactly what the cahllenge was all about.
