Sorry I hadn't gotten around to commenting on this one yet! I really like the lighting. There may be other better ways to do it, but this screams "prison" to me. Some of the stuff in the background is a little confusing, though, and I spend too much time trying to decipher what it is. Probably would have given this a 5 or 6.

EDIT - for a PJ shot, this IS a bit too dark, IMHO.

Others may disagree, but I like this lighting. It does create a touch of a glare, but the shadows are still filled with detail and interest, and I think that is good. It does fall a little short of making me think "rhythm" at first look. I see what you've done and I think I understand the point, but the circular shape just doesn't feel rhythmic, even though it is repetitious and continuous. I would have probably given this a 6.

I really like this composition! There's something odd, though, in the blooms. I suspect you had to really compress this to meet the size and thus lost a lot of detail. That's just the appearance, I'm not positive. The little branch at the lower right is a little disctracting, too. The exposure is good, with the obvious exception of the sky. This is a good shot, just not a lot to keep the interest up.

Thanks so much for sharing the details of a great shot. This is indeed very well done and very reminiscent of the "Masters."

Wow, two on the front page. Good job! The flow of the water really pulls my eye, with the ever widening falls.

Wow, Tim. This is cool! It's an excellent shot, with awesome colors. There's not a lot of critiquing to do; the sky does seem a touch noisy, but congratulations none the less!

My first impression is "Great Color!" My second is "Neat Image? Maybe a hair too much, maybe none at all???" A sheet of white paper stuck down on the right side to blank out that background area would have probably given you a full point in the score (my opinion). Excellent composition; the yellows are a BIT oppressive, but not terribly so.

In general, it looks like it served you pretty well. The image doesn't really appeal to me that much, but it is a clever technique, and I probably would have given you a 6 or 7. While I like blue skies, blue images just don't appeal to me for some reason, and there's a lot of blue here. Excellent idea, and well done.
