Rose of Fire

Sweetly done. Compositionally, the eye of the vortex seems too centered to me. The entire area to the right lacks any real textural OR composional interst. I have tried cropping it into a square and this seems to work better, though it's not ideal. Composion aside, the lighting and the color are exceptionally nice.

This is quite spectacular and does bring me back for more looks; but the more I look, the more I wish there was a trace of detail in the deep shade. Probably not possible with the exposure you made, I guess. Whatever, a strong entry.

Sand & Shells, Sunset

It's funny; I look at this and see an image that would fit right in a Sierra Club book. I see an image that would fit into an Eliot Porter portfolio if the damned thing were shot with a view camera exactly as otherwise done here. What I do NOT see is a 98th-place image in a granularity challenge.

I'm coming to realize there's no place in DPC for the contemplative detail, the textured nuances of art. I mean, I always "knew" this, but I figured "In a challenge the TOPIC of which is "granularity", surely such an image might find its home!" I was wrong. But I still like it a whole hell of a lot.

I suppose you are doomed here, but speaking as an artist I find this to be a perfectly valid entry. If ever there was a challenge when a white box were appropriate, this would be it. As the maker of "self-portrait-as-raindrop", I have no choice but to give this a 10 :-)
