"Middlesex"

Comment:
Anatomically indistinct. While this is certainly different, I think it is tastefully presented and adheres to high photographic integrity.

Sentinel

Comment:
Zoom? Excellent as usual! I like the black and white treatment and the silhouette of the tree against a misty Oregon coastline.

End of Day

Comment:
A warm, nostalgic shot. I like the lighting. The heaving dodging around the periphery gives this an unnatural appearance which I feel detracts from the natural beauty of your photo. However, good entry overall.

A Small Drink of Water

Comment:
Dodging and saturating the eyes can really liven up a shot, however, I feel that in this instance the eyes are unnaturally processed relative to the rest of the composition, giving this otherwise pretty girl a rather frightening appearance.

Waiting for The Sunrise Over Half Dome
by TDCollins

Comment:
What a magnificient view. Love the composition. The processing however is readily apparent given the halos around the trees, burning of the snow, and unnatural lighting of the face of half-dome.

I'd like to compare this to the original. Good work overall.

Elegance

Comment:
Very elegant indeed. There appears to be a strange shadow across the bridge of the model's nose, which could have been dodged. Otherwise, fantastic!

An excellent and emotive photo with great DOF, colors, and clean, unintrusive processing techniques that preserves image integrity while bringing out the details and good sharpness.

Nice DOF. Clean, smooth processing preserves great detail and sharpness without introducing artifacts. Well done.

Rain

I think the expression on her face is quite lovely and the composition is very good. Then something went seriously wrong in the processing, which I suspect is far too much noise suppression which obliterated fine detail leaving a watercolor effect. I wonder how the original looks and would be interested in following up after the end of the challenge to compare the two.

Lovely capture and quite an emotive piece. I like the toning effects and the clean processing. A solid 7.
