Well at least I see I wasn't alone in not finding the 'S' curve in here.

Oh, and yes, it's a beautiful shot - really.

Hmmm...wonders out loud if that second sentence will be enough for a 'Helpful' comment check. :P

Steaming round the S-bend

THIS is what a 'S' curve should look like. :) The lines lead to the primary subject and take the viewer thru the image. Hooray!

As for the image, I like the way the trees are forming a natural frame/tunnel for the train to come thru. Keeps the viewers focused and in a natural place as well (train is close to the upper ROT point).

Would be a tad stronger if the train was sharply focused instead of the tracks, but nonetheless I still like it overall. Good luck in the challenge.

Curved Aurora

Wonderful scene, and good use of flash to bring out the foreground building. Yes, I suppose there's an 'S' in that aurora somewhere, but having just an 'S' isn't hitting the concept of this challenge IMO. If I understand this challenge correctly, it's supposed to be a leading line that takes the viewer thru the image, not just a letter 'S'.

Again, lovely image, and one to be proud of. Good luck.

Chipmunk on the rocks

Cute chipmunk. Little bit soft. I like the color in the bg. That's very nice. As for the 'S' curve part of the challenge, I'm guessing the 'S' is the stripes on the chipmunk (like a backwards 'S')? Ideally, this challenge is more about using a curving line that leads the viewer thru the image, from a depth perspective, not really just about finding a 'S' as in the letter. All JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Hmmm. Yes, there's an 'S' shaped curve (two of them) in this photo. And while it technically fits the challenge, I find the image to be a bit static. Nothing to say "Wow" about it. If you had used different colors maybe? Anyway...good luck in the challenge.

Sunset on Short Beach

Wonderful scene. There is certainly a nice leading line in the form of a curve here to guide the viewer thru the image. 'S' shaped? Mostly. :P

Good luck in the challenge.

This is a nice gentle 'S' curve you have working in this. Very nice, AND it leads the viewer thru the image. The time of day is perfect with the glow of twilight in the bg. Nicely done!

Great lines in this. The biker coming around the curve, in combination with the direction the biker is looking, engages the viewer completely. Nice! Great background with the fall color as well. Well done!

Fishermans reflection

Dang, having a hard time with this one. I really like the photo. The reflection is nice and you did a fine job controlling the exposure (kept the whites).

If this was a 'S' challenge, like find the letter kind of thing, it would be high on my list. As is, I don't see how there's any 'S' shaped line leading line "that leads the viewer through the image". At least not consistent with any depth perception.

Obviously, JMO of course. :) Best of luck to you in the challenge.

The Odd One

I like the foggy atmosphere, and the moss is fun. The 'S' you've chosen isn't much of a leading line IMO, which is how I think this challenge is meant to be pursued. JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.
