An appealing image that fills the challenge brief perfectly

Well, what an amazing bridge! Great image Janine and perfectly photographed, what a perfect location for the challenge. What I find incredible about it is that it is all so deserted there is no sign of life at all anywhere, no boats, no vehicles, no people not even a bird in the sky! And then there is that magnificent bridge cutting infinitely through the scene to infinity itself…

An interesting image that contributes well to the challenge

A very appealing and colourful abstract Janine. It has very surreal quality to it, the pastel colours are also very appealing, it does leave me wondering what it is and how you have created it, which is always a good way to leave your viewer

Your use of flash has captured the ladies very distinctly and sharply but there is the crux of the problem with the image for me. I am surprised that you have used flash in this way for this purpose in a challenge for motion blur, I think you would have fared better without flash at all. As it is there is minimal motion blur of the background only. What really spoils the image is the flash shadow on the foreground lady and the barring of the handle's position in relation to her face. A better image would have been the second lady only but I still think the use of flash for this entry was ill-advised.

You have chosen a famous landmark Janine well known to all your viewers. However, there is not really anything special about the image that makes it stand out from the crowd, probably quite difficult on the day but essential to really make it unique

I'm always gonna favour a nicely done reflection and this is done nicely, well done Harrison. Your composition is good with the well lit Chrysler building centre stage, this together with your patience to wait for a well timed action to complement the image has completed the overall effect very well.

Nicely composed image Anton. Together with your title the end result portrays the illusion that the house has been built on the road itself. The foreground road sweeping in towards the house leads you nicely into the image as a whole. It works well.

Good timing and viewpoint Harrison. That one small part of the image nicely focused against a largely soft focus foreground work well, it draws your attention to her lovely smiling face. I like the mono presentation it adds emphasis to the critical part of the image. All in all a nice job, well done.

I've only just noticed what a disappointingly low score you got, it deserved better than that, but thats DPC for you...

Nature's Wonder: Bioluminescent Fungi

Bioluminescent fungi? I've never even heard of it let alone seen it! Is this the actual colour? If so its absolutely amazing. The viewpoint is, of course, absolutely the right one, the underside of these fungi are always attractively intriguing. Use of the focus stacking has paid off well with a good DOF for a nice sharp image where it matters, well done Chris, all in all, a most interesting image.

Brrr… it looks cold! An cool winter landscape made more interesting by the unusual fence that splits the frame into foreground and distant. Good exposure to enhance the whites of the foreground snow, nicely balanced with the complementary darks of the sky, I like the ruggedness of the distant hills, all in all very accomplished Janine, well done

Another lovely landscape Otto. As you say, this is a lovely beach, enhanced by the rich reds of the sky and the softness of the long shutter speed. The foreground adds immense interest and balance to the scene, the rugged distant rocky landscape completes a lovely composition beautifully executed as we have come to expect from you. Well done Otto
