A Lunar Landscape

It is a beautiful image, but the details look to be messed up. Probably because of strong jpeg compression?

I Shadow
by crabappl3

Comment:
Just a quick comment (read the cc forum).

The image is a bit on the soft side, I personally don't like that much. The lighting of the body is okish, but the differences in lighting of the face are a bit too big, the right side is fine, but the left side has shadows that don't look nice. Combined with the facial expression it looks (on the left) like someone who has been hit on the eye or didn't get much rest in her sleep.
The face and body language say "bored", don't like that. (scored it a 6)

Whoohaaaaaaaaaaa!
Great & nice comments, a good position and a nice score. Made my week. :)

I tried it on its side, both the bottle and the cork, but it didn't look good enough to my taste. Also tried a black background, didn't look good with the bottle.

I hoped it would go for third, the score was up to 6.6 at one time, but suddenly it dropped to near 6.3.... Ah well, better luck next time, I wan't a ribbon within 5 years! :)

Here Comes The Sun

This is a very powerful picture. You could argue that it is empty, but I think that is nonsense in this case.
"Here comes the sun", well, it really shows that. The bright spot in the dramatic sky and the wonderful effect on the mist/haze is great. The sun also povides beatiful background detail without spoiling the image, the clouds over the mountains very nice.
The boat is a nice touch, provides frontal horizon filling and above all a scale to aprreciate the 'greatness' of the sun.

Bridge over Troubled Water

Comment:
Nice how the soft bridge-background creates a mood that seems to go with the song. The effect from the snow is great!
There are a lot of jpeg compression artefacts around the branches and berries, could be avoided by saving at a higher quality level. There is room for that, the size is only 65kb (150kb max). It would look much better I think.
Still worth an eight for the pic itself.

Ice

Comment:
Nice flowing motion, and the glare on the branche is just enough to show the layer of ice. Blue is pretty dominant in this image, seems to create the right mood (cold).

These kind of shots are very nice. It is a bit like Natasha's portrayal of Mnt. Fuji. The strength of this shot is the layers of tones. From white to green in several steps. I really like this composition. Excellent picture!

Excellent macro!!
Love the lighting and colors. Good choice of aperture, depth of focus from one side to the other. Nice composition, good crop, very good exposure, good detail.
