Arches over the Ol' Miss

while this image is loaded with potential, it will probably work better framed and printed large than as a challenge entry...images like this lose too much of the detail that really make them strong when you have to shrink them down. you might also consider boosting your contrast just a bit. good luck!

nice find. shame the focus is soft, though.

well, this is something i don't see everyday! nice capture. i think your image would be stronger though, if you had cropped off the left third; that space isn't doing anything to really strengthen the image. good luck!

The princess of the North

interesting backdrop for a portrait. i can't tell if i like it, or if the image would be stronger if the background was blurred just a bit. the side lighting from the right looks like it could be dialed down just a hair. don't know why, but it also seems that the focus is a bit soft. all the same, nice capture, good luck!

this would be perfect if it wasn't for that one blade of grass. i love everything about this image, except how that blade just slices through the image. the colors are perfect. oh well, good luck!

interesting capture. might be a bit more dynamic if the cup wasn't so centered; maybe if you had changed your perspective just a bit to get the cup more to the left. also, the focus seems a little soft. love the colors--it is definitely an attention getter. good luck!

lovely colors, definitely a moment worth capturing. not too keen on the bordering, but that's my personal preference. good luck!

what a beautiful animal! these are tough shots, as you have so little control over your subjects. it's too bad he's looking off camera, as that tends to take the viewer right out of the image. all the same, nice capture, good luck!
