Now, where in the world did you get those?! ;^) Must be a collector? Technically the image if fine, but could be a bit more exciting. It looks like a product shot. Maybe a different bg/backdrop? Even if you left them setup on a posterboard and put them on a ladder to get some height with a blue sky and clouds? Just food for thought. Good luck in the challenge.

It's Raining Bad Luck

It's probably just the bathtub leaking. ;^) Going to need some ceiling repair however.

BTW. Didn't you know it's bad luck to open an umbrella inside!!!

Cute idea. I think the composition would be stronger with less doorway. Put the doorframe on the thirds line. The dining room distracts the viewer...

Seven Years Bad Luck

Pretty well executed shot. Great idea. Subject well positioned in the frame (maybe a bit tight at the top). If you use Hue & Saturation you could pull down the blue/purple a bit to eliminate some of the bluish cast in the shadow.

Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Not very cooperative models

That's funny! Appears they don't want any part of your photography outing. ;^) I know you don't want to hear this...too bad you didn't have a more dramatic sky. Would have been much stronger. You don't keep a spare set of dark brooding clouds in your back pocket? He-he.

Smile and keep having fun!

Impression of a Windy Day

This is kinda cool. ;^) There's enough in focus to know what everything is, yet with the title, you can tell that it's windy. With having 3 principle sections separated by color, it has an abstract feel to it.

Good luck!

From your Photographer's Comments: "I did some clone work to remove unwanted reflections added a border and I was ready to go!"

It's a good thing nobody challenged this image to a validation during voting. Cloning is a no-no for basic editing as it's considered Spot-Editing.

Congrat's on this making your personal best!

Take care!

Sweet! ;^) Nice shot Ray. Way to take advantage of those road trips.

You know, I wonder how much impact on scoring was a factor of having to scroll down to see the focal point of this image? Just a thought.

Regardless, a great shot and a happy, happy score!
