The Old Rambin Place

really nice framing of the composition here. the misty quality of it works well with the completely blown sky, which I'm sure there was little you could do about. Evocative and effective, serene and appealing.

A beautiful detail shot that very much appeals to me. Stands out from most of the other images as being something seen differently.

Island House

Comment:
I love this in so many ways, the sheer matter-of-fact simplicity of it and the odd, ephemeral grace of the structure. I do SO wish you'd given it a little more breathing room right and left, it's discontertingly cramped by the framing of the shot.

In the Woods

Comment:
This is sweet & rich. A little too garish on the foreground greens for my taste, but an effective composition. I'm guessing Oregon?

Behind The Green Door

Gotta love this one in all its oversaturated glory. A strong composition and a fine sense of decreptitude.

This is quite powerful and beautifully composed/exposed. A completely different feeling than most of the entries. High score from me.

Going Nowhere

Comment:
One of the very best of the "detail" shots, a "readable" image that's quite compelling. The border's not doing you any favors IMO, though. Strong score from me.

Port of Portland

Comment:
I very much like the vaguely "historical", old-timey feel of this shot with the blown sky and background. I'm wishing it had been toned to accentuate that. Nice image!

abandoned dreams

Comment:
I wish the bright part of the sky were not so extremely burned out, this is a real flaw in my eyes. I can see a trace of detail there so it should be fixable, since the contrast is if anything too high throughout the image. I think it would work better with the contrast scaled back a notch or two. Still, a strong and gritty image and a good score from me.

Abandoned, yet Defiant
by fredandaud

Comment:
This is a very strong image, and I'm sure the lighthouse is, indeed, abandoned, but for me it doesn't speak to the challenge that effectively. A strong score but not top-tier for me.
