Like anyone would think she did? Well, if sexy is worth anything you'll most likely do ok with this entry.

Responding to thread request...

I gave it a 6. Thought it was "ok" overall and hovered between the 5 & 6 button on this one.

Couple of things for me that held this back:

1) Aspect ratio and the composition. It seemed like you were trying to tell two stories here; the lighthouse and the water structure. End result was an awkwardly balanced comp. The letterbox border was the right choice, given the comp, but I would have really beefed up the top and bottom black borders by another 30-40 pixels at least to offset the wide presentation.

2) Something about the colors. Looks like a levels adjustment is needed. The colors seem a tad forced and the lighting a little flat.

Those are some quick observations. Hope they're somewhat helpful.

Blue Moon Over The Mat-Su

This is a very nice photo and one of my top scoring images. Primarily based on the size and placement of the moon. If the comp on this was a little stronger (less centered) it would score a little higher for me.

This is fun. I like the angle and how you've captured a "daylight" moon. Nice.

I predict Red Ribbon for this shot. Pretty easy prediction actually. :-) I love the scene overall. The comp is great. Only thing that's keeping this a 9 instead of a 10 is the tonal range. I'd like to see more coverage on the lower end in the blacks. Great shot overall! Congrats.
