With or without the photog in the foreground, this is simply magical. I would love to see the untouched original for this to see what kind of PP went into it. This should ribbon, and I would be surprised if it doesn't. 10

Flirting With The Morning Light
by librodo

Comment:
The girl's right eye is startlingly white. I think it distracts and is too artifically dodged. Aside from that quite minor issue, the rest of the photograph is quite lovely with great focus, exposure, and a nice bokeh going on back there. 7

Reflection

Comment:
Well composed. Would have been more effective if the dark spot above the car within the reflection was edited out. I imagine it was not easy to fill the filter ring with the whole reflection, so this is not a major point. Overall quite well done, 7

Nice abstract photo. Wonder how you did this...

Light is God

Your title has it backwards, which if you are Christian, is quite sacriligeous. :-)

Whether that is your intent or not is not that relevant, just a side note. On to the picture. The composition is good overalll. The child's curiosity is evident in his bright upward gaze. The candle is also nicely exposed with the shaft fading into darkness. The point lighting is quite effective.

The image could be a bit sharper but in this particular composition is just a minor issue as the soft focus is flattering in the setting of the warm glow of the candlelight. Overall well done. 7

Lean forward and back

Hmm...this is quite a daring entry. Technically a very well shot, obviously intentionally out of focus light source. I fear this will not be palatable among the voters. I'll gve you a 5.

Love the humor in this shot (or forgive me if this was not your intention LOL). This is a humorous spin on this challenge which I think stands out above the other fine entries in this challenge. 10

A Lonely Soap Bubble

Nicely done. Perhaps a bit more (1 cm) real estate to the right of the bubble is what I would recommend. 7

Wonderful shadow detail. This is exposed just perfectly. 9

Find Your Way Home

Perfect. The trio of gulls in the distance makes this one special. Have you tried processing this one a bit more and blackening the sand? Might add more dramatic contrast between the relatively similar hues of the sand, rocks, and lighthouse. 10
