Contrasting Cattle

Good catch! What are the odds of catching a white one and a black one together like this?? Very appealing shot, I like the composition and the "black and white" treatment. Would have liked the background to be a little more out of focus, but hey, you can't have everything!

I like your contrast "concept" - both the circle/square and the light/dark. I would have expected it to be a little more "high key", but all in all it works well in it's simplicity. Lovely shot.

Absolutely lovin' this shot! PLEASE remind me to put it on my favorites! I was a little surprised that you didn't do black and white, but I am pleased that you did not - the color is wonderful, giving it that "beachy" feel. I had given this a 9, but on viewing it again, (and again...) I am changing it to 10. The lines, the curves, the terrific lights and darks all work to make this shot so appealing.

I'm guessing the "contrast" is simply in the texture of the tree, and maybe the tree against the white background as well. Either way, I like this shot very much. Composition leads the eye throughout the photo, the black and white works well, and I do like the "high key" approach. This looks like a bonsai - (I really adore those, though cannot keep them alive) - great choice of subject.

Just an incredible shot, and one of my 10's for this challenge. I love the way you composed the shot, and the repetition of the wavy lines moves the eye all through the photo. Love the contrast of light/dark as well as small lines/large lines. Good eye, and wonderful shot!

Old Meets New

One of my favorites for this challenge, I really love the juxtaposition of the wonderful old stone architecture and the very modern building. The colors work beautifully together, and your choice of composition works well to emphasize the tremendous difference. I am so glad that you left it color! Very nice shot!

Very, very nicely done! It helps a little that she is fabulously beautiful, but your lighting and composition absolutely *make* this shot.

One of my absolute favs, this is a very interesting concept, executed well. Lighting and composition are wonderful, and the photo just draws the viewer in so that you keep wanting to look at it. Very nice!

This almost looks like a marble "statue"! Quite a lovely shot. At first glance, I thought that I might like a little more contrast, but after looking at it several times, I find that I kind of like the soft, dreamy feel of the shot.
