Hrm. I guess next time you'll bite your tongue around Art Roflmao... Did he get the rest of the village too?

For a picture with not much in it, this sure looks fantastic.

Xiao Yue - Means Beautiful
by Elliottjms

Comment:
When resizing to DPC size, it's often helpful to run an extra layer of sharpening...

Incidentally, how does Xiao Yue mean Beautiful? I know of no such word combination.

A more likely combination is 'small moon'. It would seem to be a fitting name for such a child as well.

Horsebarn Hill

Please be careful with your file sizes. This one weighs in at 75KB, but you were allowed nearly 3 times that... Why? Look at the nasty pixelation in the sky and the odd grid-pattern that has shown up in areas of fine detail in the grass.

Photographically, It's a very beautiful place, but I think I would have cropped the very left edge off for a bit of minimalistic feel... otherwise, you are left looking for the subject. Interesting that it is named Horsebarn when there is no barn visible.

Additionally, I would have used a layer of contrast and sharpening to bring out that tree and I probably would have used hue or selective color to suck those yellows outta that grass.

Iwo Jima at Twilight

That's one extremely nicely executed photo.

I've always found that to be an amusing scene... In my mind it's always sub-titled 'or How Many Americans Does it Take to Put a Pole into the Ground?'... All in good fun...

Beautiful. Too bad about the banding in the sky... I wonder if perhaps that was a gradient you might have forgotten to dither...?

? his eyes look droopy and tired. Be careful with direct flash too.

There's a bit of a blue cast on this as well. Check the tutorials section to find out how to remove it.
