Going Fishing!

Really nice photo. The reflections are great. Compositionally very strong, the man and his little 'boat' really stand out as the main subject. I really like your post processing here. Is that sepia, or maybe a duo/tritone? Very well done. The man has nice detail and depth, and really 'pops' IMO. The image also has a very nice 'feel' to it. It's great how you've caught him looking 'in' to the scene, really makes my eye want to stay in the photo. Overall, the photo has good interest and appeal, IMO. Nice job.

Well, usually I can specifically point out things that 'move' me, and cause me to like an image. In this case though, I can't quite put my finger on it, but I find I really like this photo. Maybe it's a bunch of little things that contribute subtly to make it work for me. Perhaps the dof, maybe the lighting, maybe the texture in the wall, perhaps the simple yet bold composition, even the border in this case adds to the presentation IMO. I don't know, but I just really like it. Great job. :-)

This is a great concept. I really like your idea here. The board, and alley formed by the pieces do make great leading lines. Lighting is not bad, but maybe just a tad brighter would strengthen the presentation a little, maybe even just a slight boost in editing. Also I'm thinking, the image doesn't really seem too busy, but maybe with just a few less pieces, it might make a little bit cleaner, more concise, bolder composition.

Oh, great eye. Very cool shot. Great composition. It's very interesting that, often times in an image like this, you think, what a great scene, I wish there was a person, or some kind of subject there, but in this photo, I find that it has a strong subject that is not actually there. What I mean is, I keep leaning in my chair to the left trying really hard to get a peek at what is just beyond that turn. I find this very cool and stimulating, it really helps draw me into the photo. My only nitpick with it is, the path looks just slightly blown out, it looks like there is some neat texture there. Perhaps in your editing, you could try using the burn tool over it with the opacity of the layer reduced, this may bring out a lot of extra detail. Good job.

Very cool concept. Very cool image. Very cool tone/mood set in your presentation. Heck, even your title is stimulating and get's me thinking. A very slight suggestion for improvement, maybe if the person were just a wee bit further away from the top edge, it might be just a little bit stronger composition, perhaps not. Anyway, cool shot, I like it.

Nice composition. You've presented a mundane everyday sight in a creative, interesting way. I like how the towers fade away into the mist. A very slight suggestion for improvement, maybe cropping the top down just a touch, to like the top of the large triangle shape towards the top of the farthest right hand tower? Nice photo, good job.

Looks like you have a good eye here. The road has good lines and a nice aesthetic curve, this image makes a nice scene, but I find it lacking a subject, something to focus on and draw my interest into the image. Perhaps placing a person, or cart or something along the path would give the photo a much stronger impact. There seems to be a bluish tint to the picture, maybe in your photo editing you could tweak the color levels a little.

Cobweb Petals Leading to Center Stage

I see the leading lines. Works for me for fitting the challenge. NIce colors, good lighting, good macro. I like the focus/dof you've used. It's a nice subject, but something is just not 'grabbing' me about the image. Maybe it's the static, straight on, centered perspective/composition. Perhaps a different, more dramatic angle would make for a stronger presentation?

Nice shot dude. The colors in the sky are just awesome. I really like the silhouette thing going on. I know it's not centered, but I feel a strong inclination to thinking that I wish the lighthouse were framed just a tad bit more to the left, not a lot. It may not be in it's actual placement within the frame, but perhaps because it seems like it's obscuring part of that magnificant sunset. Know what I mean? Maybe moving your pov a little left or probly even better, right? Kewl shot though.

Outstanding. Great focus and lighting. I find this image so simple, yet SO emotive. Very creative shot. I think I can almost feel your heart in this. Thank-you.
