Diagonals and Lines

Sheesh.... I have seen a lot of images of diagonal buildings (and taken more than a few of them - see my profile if you don't believe me) but I don't think any of them have been this good. 10 from me.

Edited to add.... and my only ten of the challenge. It's probably too abstract to win, but this was my favourite.

If this is anyone other than JJbeguin I'm impressed. If it is JJbeguin then it's great. As usual. 8

this is a nice shot - though you really should clone out the imperfections in the water - they're really distracting. 7

Darkness & Light

Comment:
Im going to guess, on the basis of the border and processing that this is one of Bear's. Whoever is behind it, it's a really pretty shot, but a) this is the 100th time I've seen this title (not really your fault) and B) I'm not 100% convinced the title really fits properly - their isn't really enough contrast between the dark and light areas to justify the title. Oh well... 7.

I think it's really funny that two people had this exact idea. On the other hand yours is really well executed. 8.

This is fantastic, The contrast between the blurry foreground and the relatively sharp sky makes for a really dreamy and tremendously effective shot.

Well there's the second 7+ IstDS shot... congrats!

Though I have to admit I'm kinda glad I hung on to the top spot on that page (if only barely).

The exposure here is spot on - but a tripod would be a really great investment. It's a bit of a pain sometimes to carry around, but really worth it. It depends on the lens you are using, but I find with my standard walking around 18-125 sigma lens that shooting at speeds slower than about 1/60th of a second hand held leads to a soft image. The camera shake here is noticeable - I doubt there's many people floating around who can hand hold at half a second. If you can't be bothered carrying a tripod - try putting the camera on a solid surface.

Ahhh the good doctor returns. This is immensely stylish. I think it's a better photo than your last nude entry (soft sun) but probably won't score quite as highly given it's edgier nature. The glistening body works really well with the reflective perspex floor. 9
