Painting with Autumn Light

I like the impressionistic feel and ethereal glow of this well executed image, the light is what makes the image so special, well done.

Excellent choice of crop and focus, great detail, one of my highest scorers. Although I would normally prefer to see the eyes as opposed to a sleeping subject this is so well executed it overcomes that aspect.

A very appealing image Eniko it has lots of emotion in it, your words echo the message in the image. I hope Max enjoys his experience abroad.

A classic example of not paying enough attention to the brief! A list minute entry that ignored a far more appropriate image that was blurred throughout I went for the sharpest - lesson learnt!

What's even more disappointing than the low score is the unwelcome precedent of no comments at all, zero! I suppose thats what makes this site so appealing, you just never cease to be amazed at the reaction, or in this case, lack of. Ah well, back to the drawing board!

Originally posted by rooum: Lovely, got a 7 from me. Particularly interesting to see because i'm contemplating getting the DP Merrill 3 (and maybe the 1 to pair it with). I used to have the original DP 1 years ago and really liked it so have an idea of their operational limitations and also the image quality. These new Merrils look like amazing cameras.

Do not hesitate in getting one Clive, they are quite simply stunning, but do be prepared to put up with the cameras many foibles and really slow down your image making but in my eyes that's no bad thing. As for the Merrill 1 that's exactly what I intend to do, once I have one I am seriously contemplating getting rid of the rest of my gear I am enjoying using this camera so much!

Thank you everyone else for your positive comments.

I'm sorry, but at the risk of offending you with what are probably well meant intentions this sort of thing really irritates me - awards and no comment - it means nothing whatsoever to me.

What I really want and appreciate is critique, comments good or bad that enable me to reflect on an image, what has worked what hasn't, something tangible that I can learn from - I learn nothing from a silly symbol without any accompanying comment. The other comments here are far more constructive and useful to me, I welcome and value them.

Sorry Kathy, but you weren't alone! It would appear to have been far too subtle for most people here but glad you understood and appreciated it Nadine, thank you both for commenting.

The title, by the way, was a play on words, the piece being the completion of an elephants tusk in the jigsaw but also signifying task complete as in last piece of the jigsaw - ah well!
