Lovely blue eyes. I like the wind blown look.

This one is hilarious. I'm hoping it will ribbon cuz I'd love to see it on the front page of DPC. Good luck! :-)

Do I Have To Say The Words?

My pick for the blue. This image has a lot going for it. The beautiful silloutte with a perfectly focused outline, the sun, while bright, is not over exposed (big kudos there!), the clouds and waves playing nice, a beautiful reflection with their feet interrupting the reflection just enough to make it real, composition feels "just right" to me. I'd give you a 10+ if I could. Good luck!

I like the use of D&B for its dramatic effect in the image - though I do wish I could see the girl's face a little better.

Just wondering where this was taken... it looks like a beach down in Brazil.

I bet this would look great as a poster sized image hanging on the wall! Love it!

The Boy Who Giggled So Sweet

Okay, it's only my opinion, but... I just think this is the wrong way to go when doing selective desat. By making everything else color but the boy, you've lessened his importance in the picture. If it were a ball he was holding, or something he was wearing, any small subject related to him, it would work because you would immediately connect the in-color object to the person holding or wearing it, etc. In this case, all that happens is I see the color in the background and wonder what made the boy go b&w...

Anyway, like I said, it's my opinion. I'll still give you credit for a nice image of the kid - gotta love that smile!

I really like this one - hope to see it near the top. The girls in the background, in spite of being outside the field of focus, really add emphasis to the foreground girl. The lighting, the leading lines in the walls and the camera angle also work well to bring you right to the subject. Could it ribbon? I'm hoping it will. :-)

Precious. The silhouette really tells a story.

Absolutely lovely image... wish it were in the Best of 2005 challenge instead of the Singled Out challenge as I would have voted it much higher there.
