Originally posted by ubique: Nice to see a really high quality landscape in a 'portrait' format. This is a very fine composition; lovely lines & proportions. Beautiful colours and light ... spectacular but not strident. Also some interesting textural contrasts. All things considered, it's an image that is so unpresumptuous at first glance that it might be easy to overlook just how effortless and harmonious it actually is. I hope it isn't overlooked in favour of more flashy models!

I guess it was :-) Though 6.4 and 30th ain't bad... I was definitely conscious of wanting to do a portrait orientationt his time, and I was definitely conscious that I'm getting typecast for technicolor, so I went more muted. I bet if I had brightened this up it would have scored better, but this is a pretty straight rendition of the scene, a relatively rare thing for me. I like to play with colors and saturation on these shots as a rule, it pleases me.

Thanks for all the kind comments people :-)

That's a hell of a shot... Really... I love it. It's rich and luscious and inscrutable.

The balance of these elements, color-wise, is quite strange, but it works on a lot of levels. The massive framing coordinates well with the massive artwork in the center panel. Good luck with it :-)

This is exceptionally nice & pure. Very Westonesque feel to it. I hope the site likes it as well as I do, but I suspect it's a lost cause. We'll see...

Heck of a nice piece of work. Conceptually first rate. The leftmost panel doesn't seem quite as crisp and pure as the other two, and that bothers me a bit.

This is quite precious. The conversion and lighting both are lovely. I wish there was a tad more breating room at the top on the bookend images, and I feel that the broad white dividers are obtrusive to a certain degree here, but it's one of my higher scores regardless.

This is quite skilfully done. I look forward to seeing how it was accomplished. My qibble with it is the car under the kid's ass in the middle panel, but it's just that; a quibble. I'd expect to see a ribbon hung oin this one next sunday.

One of the 2-3 best of the "designer" shots. Very organic triptych, nice work with colors and forms. I hope you do well. SO many entries seem to be accidental triptychs, as it were; no special reason for them to be triparite except the challenge theme.
