The Path to Furi (Zermatt, BW)

ON this B/W version I think you've pulled the darks on the shed up too high; it looks unnatural to the extreme. It's a lovely image, however :-)

The Early Bird

This is bizarre coloring, but it's working for me. I only wish the ship and the bird weren't in alignment, that the bird were a bit to the left and the ship way more to the right, to produce an implied diagonal. Still, you get what you can getm when you can get it :-) One of my high scores.

Early Morning Sydney

This is extremely well done. The luminosity of it is remarkable. My first reaction to the greenish tone was pretty negative, but it has since grown on me. I might have cropped just a smidgeon off the left to lose that single, on-the-edge bright spot... bumping way up, and good luck.

Way cool! I like this a lot, the humor of it.

Old fisherman's hut
by ArnarH

Comment:
For what it's worth, I believe this is a "drying shack" where the catch was hung out to dry; thus the slatted sides. That's neither here nor there, though. I wish you had managed a little better detail and richness in the shack itself. The composition and the mist are very nice indeed. Also, a true duotone by my definition, unlike many in this challenge.

Yacht Race

Comment:
Cool! One of the very few decent sailing shots I've seen on DPC; gives a real sense of "being there". Do you race sailboats? You might be interested to know that my first career was as a sailmaker; in the late 60's and early 70's I worked for North Sails in spinnaker research and development. I was a serious sailboat racer for many years, a long-time member of San Diego Yacht Club and one of the backup crew on two America's Cup campaigns, Gerry Driscoll's and one of Dennis's...

Originally posted by ShutterPug: Beautiful sunset image Robert. Anyway you could bring out a bit of detail to the ground on the left?

I CAN, but I don't want to. I like the darkness. It's very dark anyway, no direct light at all, but I could pull up more detail if I wanted to, a little bit anyway. I actually have dodged it a fair amount to make the house more visible; anything lighter seems unnatural to me.

BTW it's a sunrise, as it happens.

One of the more original entries. I quite like it at the conceptuallevel, and you seem aware of the rechnical "flaws", such as they are...
